Jicama

I know I promised I'd post about thie jicama but, unfortuantly, the picture is really blurry and look awful. SO I will just tell ya what I did.
I made a "Crunch Salad" The idea is from The Passionate Vegetarian. I love this cookbook. It is HUGE and has soooo many recipes in it. And many of the non vegan recipes have vegan variations with them which is great. Everything I have tried from this book has turned out awesome.
My Crunch Salad had shredded cabbage, carrots, jicama and a sweet red wine vinegar red dressing. It was an interesting twist on coleslaw, I guess.

Barley and Toasted Pecan Salad

This is the second dish I made to use up some of my barley. I cooked the barley in vegetable broth and tossed it with sauteed carrots and broccoli. I let it cool then topped it with toasted pecans and rice wine vinegar. This was very good! I am looking forward to trying out more grain based salads this summer.

Garlic Stuffed Tofu and Maple-Mustard Potatoes and Beans

I got the idea for the tofu from tofu666 at The Post Punk Kitchen Forums. I marinated my tofu in soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and some Italian spices overnight. I pan fried the tofu then cut a small slit in it and filled it up with roasted garlic paste. I then baked it for 15 minutes.

The Maple-Mustard Potato and Beans recipe is from Vegan with a Vengeance. It is my new favorite recipe in this book. Try it-you'll like it!
