Kung Pao Cauliflower

Kung Pao Cauliflower

Notes: This is a mash up of a couple different recipes. We both liked it. Pictured above with chili peppers and not pepper flakes.

Ingredients:
1 cauliflower cut into bite sized pieces
1 red bell pepper diced
1 yellow or orange bell pepper diced
2 garlic cloves minced
5 green onions chopped
1/3 cup raw peanuts
1 tsp red pepper flakes

Sauce
4 tbsp tamari
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup water
1 tsp ground ginger
3 tsp cornstarch

Directions:
In a wok cook the cauliflower on medium high for 5 minutes.
Remove the cauliflower and set aside.
Add the peppers to the wok and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the cauliflower back in and and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, white part of the green onion and the peanuts and cook for a couple more minutes.
Stir in the sauce and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional minute.
Serve over rice.
Garnish with the stalks of the green onion.

Thanksgiving 2014

For thanksgiving this year I made mashed Yukon Gold potatoes, mushroom gravy, corn and maple glazed Brussels sprouts. Nova made Stuffing. All vegan.
Our family brought Turkey and other side dishes.

Our Daughter’s boyfriend smoked the turkey. They said it was real good.

Chili’s Grill & Bar

We had been steering clear of Chili’s thinking they didn’t have anything near vegan but then I heard otherwise so we stopped in today. We both got the guacamole burger with a black bean burger and sans the dairy. We both thought it was really good.
