vegan Pesach

[Guest guest]

Here is one of those recipes that I was hoping to try out before Pesach and

serve at seder...

 

Savvy Vegetarian Quinoa Vegetable Pilaf

1 c quinoa

1 c. celery, chopped small

1/2 c. red pepper, chopped small

1/2 c. raw cashews

2 Tbls olive oil

tiny pinch asoefetida or crushed garlic clove

1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp thyme leaf

1/4 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp gr. coriander

1/2 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp dried ginger

1/2 tsp salt

1 3/4 cup water

1/4 c. minced parsley or cilantro

fresh ground pepper

 

Soak quinoa 5 minutes, rinse twice, leave to drain. Heat olive oil on medium in

a 3 qt saucepan or saute pan. Chop celery and red pepper Add asoefetida, celery,

red pepper and cashews. Stir fry until cashews are golden. Add the rest of the

spices except for the parsley. Add the quinoa and stir until dry. Slow Cooker or

Crock Pot: Transfer all to preheated slow cooker or crockpot, add boiling water,

cover and cook 1 - 2 hours on low.

Stove Top: Add 1 3/4 c. water, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 15 - 20

minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Stir in the chopped parsley or

cilantro, fresh ground pepper, and

serve. Preparation time approximately 30 minutes.

Seconded. My friend Gloria's date-based charoset was featured in Ha'aretz

newspaper last year:

In Israel this type of charoset is sold jarred in supermarkets. Homemade must be

better but I haven't made the effort.

 

Re: Pesach recipes in general, I posted a bunch to the group last year and

haven't got any new ones to offer. Gabriella, I hope you can get Quinoa where

you live. It makes veggie/vegan Pesach so much easier. Do you use legumes?
