#206 The Case of Nachos

3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
19-oz can black beans, rinsed
1 red onion (approximately 1/2-cup volume), minced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup lime juice
1 jalapeno, minced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
salt to taste
1 cup raw cashews
1 yellow pepper, chopped
7 small, medium-heat chillies, seeded and chopped
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
4 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
2 teaspoons salt
380-g-bag tortilla chips (Tostitos Restaurant Style are nice)
Guacamole, doubled (Or cook 1 pack Plant-based Ground over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid sticking and burning, for 4 min. Stir in 1 envelope taco seasoning.) 

Tomato Black Bean Salsa

Combine the tomatoes, black beans, red onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno, cumin seeds and salt to taste.

Cheez Sauce

On your high-speed blender's soup function (if you have one), blend the cashews, yellow pepper, chillies, water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic, chilli powder and salt until heated. If you don't have a soup function, blend, then warm the sauce in a small pot on the stove. 

Assembly

On four plates or a huge platter, arrange a layer of tortilla chips. Spoon on some of the Cheez Sauce.
(If using seasoned Plant-based Ground, scatter on half of it it now.) Sprinkle on half of the Tomato Black Bean Salsa. Add another layer of chips, Cheez Sauce (seasoned Plant-based Ground) and Tomato Black Bean Salsa. Top with the double recipe of Guacamole.

Serves 4.

Welcome Foodies!

Wonderful to meet  YOU ! At Vegetarian Detective, I share with you some of my favourite veggie, vegan and raw recipes. I know you’ve noticed that eating meat-free is a popular trend everywhere. Even going veggie just once a week. There are many reasons why. This is how. You're also invited to get to know me (Cynthia's favourite character) better by reading the mystery novels I'm in: A Purse to Die For and A Killer Necklace . Yours, Becki Green (Vegetarian Detective)

#110 The Case of Poutine

"Poutine is a typical Canadian dish (originally from Quebec ), made with French fries , topped with brown gravy and curd cheese ."—Wikipedia N utritionists worldwide may be screaming in horror that poutine has captured the world by storm but, proud Canadian that I am, I'm shouting, "Yippee!" To be sure, vegetarians are reputed to eat more along the lines of tofu, broccoli and brown rice but an occasional poutine won't kill us. In fact, fast-food poutine makes quite a comforting indulgence! Did you know that poutine gravy, which is generally made from a mix, is vegetarian? Valerie of McCormick Canada Inc. confirmed to me by phone that Club House Brown Gravy Mix contains no meat products. Silly to write out a recipe. All you do is sprinkle French fries with cheese curds then pour brown gravy over top. Seriously...yum! ♥ Becki PS To leave me (and Cynthia) a message, click on the comment button below.
