UnicornMeatStuffedPeppers04

  This is a nice recipe for all your meat lovers, vegan and vegetarian hater friends out there.

We all know a few, those people who absolutely despise tofu and would never indulge in a nice tofu anything even if their lives depended on it.  It will be able to fool any of those harsh critics and amuse them by the thought of eating unicorn meat.

Make the test, challenge one of your buddies and let’s see if they are able to taste this awful tofu they are so scared of.

Vegan “Ground Unicorn Meat”

Trying to eat less meat, sometimes it gets a little complicated because you wished you had some sort of “ground meat” type like protein but those store bought versions often contain too much salt, carrageenan or even worst, ingredients we can barely pronounced.

This is my own version for vegan “ground beef” which obviously isn’t beef but has some sort of beefy flavour although I like to call it unicorn meat since they are kind trendy right now and it always make people smile when I present them a dish made with this little concoction.  Use it pretty much like you would use ground meat, it’s perfect for taco, stuffed peppers, spaghetti sauce, lasagna and more!  Get creative, this recipe wont disappoint.

The only small detail to remember is when you shred your tofu block with your hands, make sure you keep decently big pieces or reduce the cooking time a little, if you have a lot of small pieces, so they don’t burn.

Have fun!

This is a nice example of simple who met amazing.

For you, an humble green soup made with fresh, seasonal ingredients and a dash of love.  I hope the creamy taste and texture of the end result will comfort you while you’re cuddled up in a warm blanket looking outside at the colour of the leaves dancing in front of your eyes.

Fall, a time for cuddles and great soups.

Did you know beetroots and green apples are a match made in heaven?!  Yes it is!

♡。゚.(*♡´‿` 人´‿` ♡*)゚♡ °・

The tanginess of the Granny Smith’s apples with the sweetness of the beetroots blend PERFECTLY and should definitely be use together more often.   Right there, on the top of my head, I’m thinking of a puff pastry with thin sliced of apples, beetroots, green onions, goat cheese and maybe a bit of thyme and spicy oil to make some seriously delicious and gorgeous little tarts.   Who knows, this might become a future project…
