I like white beans, I was curious to find something else to do with them. I’m not actually sure what a tapenade is, I think it’s a fancy word for “something you put on bread.” It’s a nice little appetizer. Indredients 1 15 oz can cannellini beans, drained, rinsed, and roughly chopped 1/2 cup pitted… Continue reading White Bean Tapenade

Scarpaccia
This is an Italian tart that is mostly made from zucchini. I was curious to try it out because it’s a cooking method I’ve never heard of before: you salt a bunch of sliced zucchini and onion, then put something heavy on top of it to press the water out. Later, you remove the veggies,… Continue reading Scarpaccia
Butter Lentils (Dal Makhani)
So, I’ve been vegetarian for a while, but Indian Butter Chicken is still one of my favorite things in the world, so I looked into this, which is basically the vegetarian version of the dish, with lentils and beans instead of chicken. The flavors are almost the same, and it’s incredibly filling. One thing I… Continue reading Butter Lentils (Dal Makhani)
Mushroom Lentil “Meatballs”
These were something found by googling around for vegetarian things to eat with pasta. It sounded sufficiently weird that I felt like I had to give it a shot just to see what the hell it tasted like. Turns out they’re not bad! They don’t really taste anything like a meatball but they’re good in… Continue reading Mushroom Lentil “Meatballs”
Mexican Portobello Mushroom Tacos
I love mushrooms in pretty much all forms. If you’ve been paying attention, this is actually the second recipe I’m posting for Mexican mushrooms; this is totally different because I made heavy use of the smoker. If you don’t have a smoker, you can skip the bits where you smoke the mushrooms and just jump… Continue reading Mexican Portobello Mushroom Tacos
Pasta Bean Salad
This was the first thing I ate when I decided to try out being a vegetarian; it was something I just kind of made up but I ended up liking it quite a bit! So here it is. I actually at it cold, and I thought it was great that way, but you can heat… Continue reading Pasta Bean Salad
Chickpea Cakes with Yogurt Sauce
I got this recipe from a friend and these things are fucking amazing. I’m transcribing it here with the modifications I made, but yeah, can’t say enough good things. And since they’re mostly beans, they’re hearty enough to be a meal on their own. Ingredients For the sauce: 1 cucumber, peeled and seeded, grated on… Continue reading Chickpea Cakes with Yogurt Sauce
Potato Salad
This is a modified version of the Serious Eats version and it’s great. It’s the first potato salad I’ve ever had that I actually liked. One note: at one point he has you sprinkle vinegar over the cooked potatoes. I don’t know how the hell you sprinkle two tablespoons of vinegar over a sheet pan… Continue reading Potato Salad
Miso Refried Beans!
These were something I just kind of made up because I wanted something to go with korean tacos. Here’s the thing I had recently realized: beans taste like crap because they only really taste like whatever you add to them, and most people don’t add enough seasoning to them. If you spike them up with… Continue reading Miso Refried Beans!
