^ me and Helen are now trying to name the 9 types of beans from the pic.

[RubyDuby]

Bean stew ( 9 types of bean ) and dumplings tonight.

do you make the dumplings in the stew? if so, how?

[Daffodil]

what is nooch?

[beanstew]

do you make the dumplings in the stew? if so, how?

With Atora Light Vegetable Suet which I gather from another forum isn't known in the US. You mix self raising flour and the suet 2:1 by weight (my electronic scales weren't working so I just guessed) and add a bit of water to make a firm dough, split it into little balls and drop on top of the stew and leave to simmer for around 20 minutes. I normally add some salt, pepper, mustard powder, cayenne and herbs to the dry mix.

How you getting on with the bean naming BB/Helen?

[RubyDuby]

hmmm.. ok. thanks

what is nooch?

"cheese" sauce made from nutritional yeast. THIS

I actually think nooch is just nutritional yeast...

[Kitteh]

I feel like I've had the veg suet conversation with someone here but I can't remember if it is avail, I will find out!

[fondducoeur]

Kitteh, that food looks delicious! I especially like the looks of the crepe dish with cashew white sauce, and the gumbo looks really good also. Bravo!

Beanstew - I saw suet in the supermarket yest'day but the ingredients included animal fats. I'll ask some other Aussie vegans to see if they've found vegan suet.

[beanstew]

Chili and brown rice tonight.

[four]

Beanstew, you need to invest in bigger plates.

[pavotrouge]

lol yes, challenging all the rules of decent catering. I somehow ended up having loads of fine TVP, any suggestions apart from chilli?

[RubyDuby]

Top lettuce, tomatoes, avocado with tvp "taco meat"*. Top with salsa and eat.

*add reconstituted tvp to sauteed garlic and onion. Add chili powder and cumin.

[Marrers]

fine TVP, any suggestions apart from chilli?

Cottage pie? Spaghetti bolognese? 'Meat'balls baked in tomato sauce? Pasties? Sausage rolls? Burgers? As a baked potato filling?
Or just do an internet search for mince / minced beef recipes and use the tvp instead.

[cedarblue]

any suggestions apart from chilli?

i recently saw a recipe for a savoury pancake dish which had a filling of spicy mince?

[Marrers]

You could pretend they're raspberries if that makes it more appetising?

I blogged various sundae related thoughts earlier this week.
