Good vegetable recipes

[diablita]

We have pickled okra aplenty up in these here parts.   I'd love to learn how to pickle it one of these days, actually.

MM- where are you finding these recipes? Do they have reviews? Yeah cream of broccoli soup has to have something to make it creamy, either cream, milk, cheese, raw cashews, etc.

Forks over knives cookbook so no reviews. Its ok. I wasn't expecting it to be really creamy but it was basically pureed broccoli.

Yeah for a vegan soup you are going to need pureed raw cashews or something similar to make it creamy. FOK is a low fat cookbook too, so there will be some recipes that just don't work. Check out the Oh She Glows blog or cookbook, she has some fabulous recipes.

This recipe is soooo good, uses soy sauce, wonder if coconut aminos would be ok?

I figured out it was super low calorie when it wanted me to Sautee my veggies using water instead of evolution. Ummm...not going to happen.

What is evolution?  I mean, I know what evolution is but what type of ingredient is it?

Gonna assume EVOO

FOK is based on research for heart patients and those reversing heart disease, so yes, it will be VERY low in fat.

Sorry just got back here.
I am such a lackadaisical cook, I rarely write a recipe down, occasionally I will save one as a favorite.
Anyway, I also buy a pickling spice mixture at this local farmer's market just over the border from Delaware in PA. So I don't follow the exact recipes and I don't add dill.
Also, I like to blanch the okra slightly, too much and it will fall apart. If you don't blanch, it takes 4 weeks to get soft.
You can use this method for any veg, I followed this, sort of. I add some sugar to mine, I guess you could use agave if you wanted.
I have thrown lightly cooked cauliflower, string beans, and Romanesco in mine too.
FYI I have some Okra that has been in there for longer than a month and it's just fine.

Do you know Booth's Corner market?

[merigayle]

I do not and it is not that close to me, but looks cool, just googled it. The DE/PA border is not that small.

Still not that far from where Mom lives which is about a mile from the farmer's market.
We should meetup next time I am visiting if we can work it out.

[merigayle]

Yes! Looks like 35 mins from my house. Cool Ethan lives not far from Wilmington.

[hally]

For some reason I thought you were closer to Philly.

Kinda in between the two! Wilmington is probably a little closer to me than Philly.

So the husband is going on a medically supervised diet and the dinners are only allowed to be 300 cals and contain lean and veggies (not all veggies included) and no carbs. I think my new cookbook with be very helpful.
