Vegan Mofo Day 11: Panang Curry

Happy Monday!

Brace yourself, this picture is not very flattering for a very yummy dish:

I know it looks like a yellow blob but I promise you there's tofu, cauliflower, and eggplant in there.

Hubz loves curry so here we are with another curry dish. He paid it the highest compliment by saying, "I've eaten many curries but nothing that tasted like this." I had to make sure he wasn't being sarcastic. Indeed he really liked it!

You can use the recipe from Chef Chloe or Epicurious.The only difference in ingredients is the veggies added at the end. Chloe used sweet potato and kale; Epicurious used carrots and red bell pepper. I myself used eggplant and cauliflower. The surprising ingredient was peanut butter; I've never seen peanut butter used in a curry before. It really made the curry extra creamy on top of the coconut milk. Yum!

If you love curry, I highly recommend this recipe (from either source). We'll definitely be making this again!

Vegan Mofo Day 9: Curried Pineapple Rice

With leftover pineapple chunks sitting in the fridge, I knew I found tonight's dinner when I saw ChowVegan's Curried Pineapple Rice. It's a quick, low maintenance meal to whip up; just chop everything and throw them into the rice cooker to cook together with the rice. It's also healthy since there's no oil or frying involved.

I subbed some ingredients from ChowVegan's original: yellow onion instead of green, 1/2 lemon instead of lime, and pine nuts instead of almonds. I also left out mushrooms since I don't like them and raisins which I don't have. I'm sure the original version is much better, LOL! In any case, hubz loved it and we'll be making it again.
