Lunch & Supper Chickpea Spinach Tofu Dish – March 20th 2016

Lightning Strike Self Defense

Hey Everyone,

So I have been away for a week or so but I was up near Yorkton and I had a great meal in a nice restaurant last week and so I decided to try and copy it.  This was the closest I could find but I think it will still make your taste buds want more.

Ingredients:

 

Directions

  1. In a large wok or skillet heat oil over medium heat; saute onions until translucent. Stir in creamed corn and curry paste. Cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes. As you stir, add salt, pepper and garlic.
  2. Stir in garbanzo beans with the cauliflower and gently fold in tofu. Add spinach and cover. When spinach is tender, remove from heat and stir in basil.

Note: A quick delicious recipe with curry with spinach, chickpeas, onions, and/or whatever veggies you have. I have added cauliflower, but aren’t limited to adding in extras like potatoes, and sweet potatoes to this recipe. All were very good. Serve with nan, pita or rice if desired.

 

This close recipe like the one I had in the restaurant was provided by allrecipes.com and you can find more delicious ones on their website.

Lunch & Supper – March 2016 DUMBLINGS!!

Lightning Strike Self Defense

Hello Everyone,

So this is the first time ever that I have had a dumbling!! I am so so so excited!

I got this online and I can’t wait to try them. I want you guys to try them this month with me!!

Anyways, here is the recipe I used!  I am bulking for a couple of months so I need to get in a lot of calories for my runs because I am packing on the miles.  Next week I have a 22 mile run to do!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups medium sharp Cheddar, shredded
  • 1/3 pound thin-cut bacon, half the fat removed, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 large red onion, diced
  • 8 ounces 80/20 ground beef
  • 40 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

DIRECTIONS

Thoroughly combine the Cheddar, bacon, salt, pepper and onions in a medium mixing bowl using your hands. Add in the beef and combine well.

Roll out your wonton wrappers. Place a dollop of the filling into the center of each wonton using a tablespoon measure. Fold over the ends to make an enclosed envelope, and then secure by either scalloping or pressing the prongs of a fork into the edge.

Heat some vegetable oil in a saute pan.

Place the dumplings in a single layer in a large frying pan (you may need to work in batches). Add a few tablespoons water and heat slowly, covered, until the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Uncover and add 1 tablespoon of the hot oil to fry the bottoms of the dumplings.

Enjoy! LSSD
