Recipe Round-Up: Appetite For Reduction (Handheld edition)

Popping back into Appetite For Reduction with some final photos to share. The last chapter of the book is called The Importance of Eating Sandwich. It has a number of sandwich and wrap combinations using components from throughout the book. Additionally, there is also a Taco Bar and several baked potato toppings. These are their stories. As previously, I'll just rate the overall sandwich, etc. Reviews of components can be found in my previous posts for this book.

Buffalo Wrap: Buffalo tempeh and cool slaw in a wrap. I added some lettuce. I also served it with some greens and some mac and cheese (which I had leftover from serving with the tempeh and the slaw the night before).

Open-Faced Portobello Reuben: Sliced Grilled Portobellos with Caesar Chavez Dressing mixed with ketchup on dark rye, sauerkraut, and a dill pickle on the side. I had a bit of salad on the side as well, topped with some leftover dressing. This was nice, though not quite what I think of when I think of a reuben. An interpretation of a reuben.

Caesar Chavez Wrap: Cos (aka romaine) lettuce with sauteed seitan (I used some seitan I had leftover from another book), sliced black olives, and Caesar Chavez Dressing. This was nice and crunchy, with some strong flavours.

Thanksgiving Leftovers Wrap: Oof, that's a bad photo. But it is simply some Veggie Pot Pie Strew wrapped up with some cranberry sauce.

Taco Night: There is a range of recipes from the book that are suggested for your taco spread. From the list, I used Guacamame, Unfried Refried Beans, Portobello Chimichurri, and Fresh Tomato Salsa Dressing, along side some lettuce. I served them with some chard taco shells for nostalgia, they are the taco shells of my youth. Other suggested additions that I did not include are Chili-Lime-Rubbed Tofu and Steamed Plantains. I loved the combination of all these flavours together!

Baked Potato #2: With Surefire Seitan, Sauteed Kale, and gravy (I used gravy from a gravy mix, but the recipe in the book is for Silky Chickpea Gravy).

Baked Potato #4: With black beans, sauteed spinach, and Red Velvet Mole.

Baked Potato #5: Buffalo Tempeh, Caesar Chavez Dressing, and roasted zucchini (which I used instead of grilled).

Cute Kitty Photo of the Post



I've mentioned that we have a few neighbourhood kitties that come through out yard, this one of our more recent visitors. A very cute little white cat with tabby splotches. Yesterday, I saw them right up on our deck and peering in our back door! The audacity! Thankfully Dim Sim was snoozing in her chair cave, blissfully unaware of this invasion.
