Space Salad

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (#Nasa) administrator, Bill Nelson, and the deputy administrator, Pamela Melroy have visited the University of Adelaide, #Australia, where an international team is creating #SpaceFood and medicine.

They’ve created a “SpaceSalad” from soya beans, poppy seeds, barley, ale, peanuts, #sunflower seeds and sweet potatoes from plants chosen to be grown on Mars to provide a complete, nutritional plant-based diet for astronauts.

Sunday is a good day to bake! This is a coffee walnut cake from Freya Cox's cookbook Simply Vegan Baking. Freya was the young vegan baker on The Great British Baking Show. Her pictures look better!

I didn't have instant coffee so I used espresso powder, and I didn't have 6-inch cake pans so used 5.5-inch glass storage bowls, which is why it looks a little wonky. But it still tastes good! Even though the caramel for the walnut praline crystallized.

More Vegan African cookbook goodness. This is a baked casserole called bobotie. I haven't had this before so had no idea how it would taste.

There's an interesting mix of spices (cinnamon, paprika, cumin, cloves, turmeric, pepper) and some grated apple with lentils and veg. Kind of sweet and very filling. Made a lot! I served it alongside geelrys, a sweet/spicy rice with raisins, turmeric, and star anise.

Green lentil curry over jasmine rice with broccoli 🍛🥦☘️✨😋ⓥ

#plantBased #vegan #curry

On a shallow white dinner bowl with wide rim, from left to right, lightly boiled broccoli, lentil curry with sweet red pepper and tofu, and rice. Cilantro as garnish at one end of the row of broccoli.
As usual, there are a small plate of home baked no-knead Dutch oven bread, a glass of lemon water, and a cloth napkin with a spoon and the rabbit hashi-oki on it.

A very satisfying plantBased meal!

Ital - the vegan Rasta movement you've probably never heard of until now...

Ital is the food celebrated by those in the Rastafari movement developed in Jamaica during the 1930s, based on natural living. Rastas are earth-preservers and believe the food they eat should come from the land. This, in principle, is Ital.

Ital food should be natural, organic, unprocessed and free of additives, chemicals and meat. The name derives from the word ‘vital’.

Combined with a climate well-suited to growing a variety of fruit and vegetables, this means there are plenty of plant-based options available in Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean.

The choice to eat Ital is as much of a spiritual decision for Rastas as it is a health conscious one. Their philosophy is to remain as close to nature as possible and respect all forms of animal and plant life. They believe eating pure, organic food increases one’s connection with nature.

This is similar to how I became #vegan as well. My own health, selfish as it sounds, was the initial focus of my shift to a #plantbased diet. It is better for circulation and the heart, counters inflammation and irritation, lowers cholesterol, et cetera. One unexpected bonus was losing 20 pounds and going down a full clothing size. 🌱

No1 rule of home made Hummus is:

👉 If you are trying to gain weight, add oil / tahini✅

👉 If you are NOT trying to gain weight❌, don't add oil/tahini ❌
➡️ Instead add spices, herbs, (spring onions, more lemon+garlic, cut bell pepper etc)

We need to come up with a range of regenerative ways to produce plant materials for manufacturing and bio-fuels. Ways that sink atmosphpheric carbon into soils, and mulch the top of them to help keep them moist, mine minerals from the subsoil and deposit them into topsoil, and so on. Things like leguminous plants grown as cover crops in the off season, whose fruit, fibre, or both can be harvested, after they add nitrogen to the soil.

Question for my vegan, plant-based, and dairy-free folks...

What milk is best for cereal?

I used to use skim milk because I loved how cold it got. Nice refreshing milk with my corn bran. Ever since I've been dairy-free I haven't tried a milk that I would drink on its own or put into cereal. But surely there are some out there?

I didn't have it a lot, but I'm missing the lil snaccy snacc that is a bowl of cereal.

I find it MUCH easier to shed Xmas etc pounds eating

Especially with steam alongside greens (kale broccolli cauliflower etc).

Much easier than high kcal density stuff like meat dairy eggs +fakes

high density=low volume=empty

Then have to beat yourself up w/ willpower to ignore feeling empty

Here's this version of batch salad as final. All the ingredients makes about 3.6kg of salad. Total calories for the box is about 2000kcal. Somewhere in the 6-8 servings range for the box depending if eaten alone or not.

The beans and tofu will keep you full for long and the increased volume with veg, especially if you also have leaves or steamed greens alongside, will keep you full a long time for the kcals.

In case this prep tip is useful for anyone

When doing a whole bunch of spring onions for whatever:

🔪Pop the (usually 3) bands off & wash.
🔪Pull any sad/dried outer layers down to the base to expose fresh (doesn't matter if they come all the way off.
🔪Pop the bands back on.
🔪Slice the whole bunch really quickly & as thick/ thinly as you like easily.
🔪The bands will just fall off as you go past that point.

You can do final crisping in the oven, like 200 degrees in a fan oven. Preferably on a flatish open tray so air can move around. About 25mins maybe. They're even better in an airfryer if you have one.

Do 15mins then check how they're going, give a shake around then another 10.

Cheesy, but no cheese. SUPER crunchy, but no oil. Savoury tasty super junky feel, but basically healthy food.

Yum yum crunch!

Crunchy yummy crispy potatoes from the  recipe, in a blue oriental wide dish.

@vegan

Sprinkle salt, chilli and/or spices and nutritional yeast flakes. (Spices are optional but i used approx half teaspoon of tumeric, blackpepper quarter teaspoon of togarishi)

Then lid on, proper bosh them around shake so the potatoes get all fluffy edged and coated. Move loose coat around and shake again.

7mins + 7mins in 1000W microwave in this case - you want them to be cooked and separate easily when prodded with a fork like so.

Which ever way you do the grains, already in or adding just before microwave, you have a bunch of meals that take about 5-7minutes to microwave, automatically steaming the greens (slightly lifted lid of course).

If you use a firmly clipping shut lid microwave container, you can take them to work etc too.

Or maybe just stack them in your fridge for home use.

This book is really helpful on cooking grains. It does include the word 'vegan' but I promise we won't tell if other people use it too! 😂

@vegan @adhd @actuallyautistic

If you have grains in a pot separately you can add them before microwave time.

This means you can have different grains with diff meals maybe which varies it up.

Here's some black rice, has a nicely mild nuttier taste than regular rice.

So days off or weekends can be a good time for banking in advance extra midweek time, healthy choices & exec function.

Just by doing a bit of batch prep. Can be really simple like here. Large pan/wok for a decent amount of simple thick soup.

✅ Peppers
✅ Tomatoes
✅ Onion
✅ Spices
✅ Any beans (Pinto here)

Split between freezable+ microwaveable pots with lids. Throw in cut Kale or other greens.

4 Microwave ready pots with lids open. Base is chunky spicy tomato pepper soup with a portion of kale greens in each.

I finished an entire salad container without it going bad in my fridge for 3 weeks.

Please clap.

Maybe my thread helps someone for inspiration.

I find batch cooking, particularly healthy food can be really helpful for reducing stress, promoting good food habits, good for executive function & gaining time back from cooking during the week.

I think it's quite step by step logical in case ppl reading it on a foggier executive function day.

Batch cooking. big salad bowl.

@vegan
So. Big healthy salad that will last much of the week often, in the fridge, with a good lid to your bowl.

Use it as a base to other meals and accompaniment or as a super quick meal by itself - it has everything you need and it is really chunky and filling.

3 different shots from different versions.

Including with super crispy no-oil spicy coated potatoes that I'll describe another day

Batch salad behind in big bowl. Portion in front in a bowl with a dusting of Togarishi spices.
Salad serving sitting in wide pasta bowls, beneath supercrispy coated spicy no-oil potatoes (a post for another time).
Salad without tofu, with cherry tomatoes and wild garlic greens. Without Tofu it can be a little juicier this way which is actually nice with things like baked potato that absorb all those juices.

Another optional is adding red onion to salads, it gives another edge to the flavour mixes.

2 red onions halved on board
red onions chopped for bowl.

So if you've found your Tofu brand it's super easy to cube.

Obviously you don't have to use tofu - but here is the good bit. The salad juices, will be absorbed by the tofu. It's self marinating and very tasty e.g. rather than cucumber & tomato losing juice to bowl, it transfers in to the Tofu. Is a cool tip.

So chop it up for the bowl.

Partially chopped tofu cubes.
Chopping done. Tofu cubed on the board. Knife lying to the side.

✅ Silk tofu is only for blending into a paste/sauce.
❌ Firm tofu that isn't firm is wrong brand.
❌ Tofu needing pressing & faffing is wrong brand tbh.
✅ Chop open the packet, give it one shake over the sink and it's already firm, tasty (mild taste), ready to eat - this is the brand you're looking for.

In UK you can't go wrong with
The Tofoo Co.

Two firm Tofu blocks one sliced in half another in 4 slices. Good firm structure. Standing up on edge on a chopping board.

Now for the scariest word in cooking... Probably the most propagandized foodstuff in history...

Buckle up😂

Tofu is just beans. Call it not-chicken if it helps you process the concept!

If you don't like it you've bought 1 of the many disappointing Tofu's. That's all. It takes on flavours like chicken, but doesn't require cooking to not poison you and keeps better.

A great Tofu brand available in the UK.
The Tofoo Co.
Firm tasty, no faffing required.
