Kimchi and me

Aside | Posted on by Brian and Jim

Jim bought me a new cookbook after we heard the authors on the radio


Amongst the treasures was a doable looking kimchi recipe.


And after a trip to the korean market and the farmers market i went to it:


Salted soaked and drain my veg…

Then combined the flavor:

Korean red pepper flakes

Tamari (gluten free soy sauce–aka soy sauce made with so not wheat)

Gochujang

Plus some rice wine vinegar, garlic and ginger


And there she sat for a day at room temp, then six in the fridge.


And today we are making


Stinky tofu will ferment at room temp for 48 hours. Then it will get fried…so monday is probably rice and stinky tofu night

Meanwhile, i totally made another batch of kimchi, and have a jar saved from batch 1 for kimchi fried rice during the week.

Monday–omelettes

Aside | Posted on by Brian and Jim

Omelettes…thats what they used as a substitute in the absence of anything gluten free in france.

I had some leftover ratatouille and left over tomato-cannelini sauce so i threw them together for the side.

The leftovers:

The salad’s mise en place

Gonna let it marinate with thyme, olive oil, and vienegar

At serving it just gets tossed onto the lettuce bed

The omelette’s mise ( it was two eggs each omelette with a splash of olive oil and a tablespoon if sour cream) including garlic scapes and fresh basil:

Throw the beany mixture on the side and voila!  My power burner is a little too much on the le creuset pans for an omelette..thus the darkness but it still tasted lovely…basil chiffonade and garlic scapes in it and on top

Of course a south of France rose…

Plus some olives to nosh and dinner is made!

Portabella and brie…needs something! The brie isnt salty so it really needed a touch of salt

 
  
 Beans, green lettuce, avocado, tomato, brie chunks, a few pepperonxini…some penzeys greek and tuscan blends with olive oil and tarragon white balsamic  
 Add some gluten free croutons 
  And here she is!

Pulses day three

Aside | Posted on by Brian and Jim

Coincidence…i had a plan inspired by kevins closet cooking but the only gluten free soy chorizo is the wrong texture…i havent made pasta in a bit so i went that route…

 First i gathered sauce ingredients:

Elephant garlic

  
 
   
 
  
   

 Gluten free pasta

   
  
Some cheese..i love this brand… Feta tastes like feta but the texture is more like jack

    
Salad parts:

Sunday went a bit asian inspired

Aside | Posted on by Brian and Jim

Ive been wanting to wrap everything in lettuce lately….so made tofu lettuce wraps, soft tofu salad, and a fried rice…   
Crumbled firm tofu with random veggies, garlic, fresh ginger, penzeys bankok spice blend..

 
Yes…we have a light out si pics are a pain…it tastes better than it looks.   The sauce is rice vinegar and the other side is low sodium tamari.

   
The fried rice has simmered adzuki beans (simmered in tamari) and random veg seasoned with penzeys singapore spice blend

 
The soft tofu salad

 
  
Te tin condiment bowls were from the akbar sushi set…

“Cauliflower melt”

Aside | Posted on by Brian and Jim

I get all kinds of food emails and i saw a cauliflower melt recipe that inspired me…….but i only had romanesco so i kinda did things my way…and roasted sliced romanesco, a bell (that was intended to be melted into the cheese) and the leftover florets.   

While they roasted…i toasted two slices of gluten free bread 

I decided that i liked the peppers that way with some cheese instead of on the melt.

I placed my slice of romanesco on the toasted bread a d covered with cheese and put back in the oven

  

And there she is…salad with balsamic and olive oil, my romanesco melt with roasted florets on the side and my cheesy pepper:-)
