Today Reiley and I shopped (and shopped and shopped – took us three times to remember everything :>) and cooked a full-course meal, with the common ingredient being miso, a delicious bean paste popular in Asia. The menu:
- appetizer: Michigan Navy Bean Soup
- entree: Seitan Stroganoff
- side: Steamed Kale with Lemon Miso Sauce
Wouldn’t be the same without the pics of Betty and Reiley being so campy! :)
Too bad I can’t have seitan (gluten alert)…
Drat!
I finally posted the black bean stew recipe… but again, seitan! I’ll have to come up with a substitution… hrmm…………….
FYI–I found the daikon at Harris Teeter (the one by RLC).
Another question about the Cuban Black Bean Stew–we don’t like the green peppers. Do you think jalapenos or an other hot pepper might be good as a substitute? (Maybe roasted poblanos?)
Yeah, defintely! Gotta make it yours! :> That actually sounds like a great idea, give it a little kick! Let me know how it turns out!
Hey, Asian grocery stores have very firm prepackaged tofu, I wonder if that would hold up as a seitan substitute… it wouldn’t absorb the flavor as much, but it might work…
