Vegetarian Chili

I struggled with what to title this recipe, because I grew up in a world where debate rages if it can be called chili when it includes beans.  Vegetarian chili is certainly not chili, because there's no meat, so how could it be chili?  That being said, this is good.  The perfect food for our cold day with entirely too much time spent outdoors with the car.

The original recipe serves 12+, so I scaled this one down a bit.  It could've used just a bit more heat, imo ... I may have cut down on the chili powder too much.

Vegetarian Chili (from 101 Cookbooks)

Ingredients

2 tbsps olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp ginger, peeled and grated
1 1/2 tbsp ancho chili powder (or you can use regular chili powder)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 serrano pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 chipotle pepper (from can or rehydrate), minced
1 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes
5 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
1/2 cup black lentils, rinsed and picked over
1/2 cup green lentils, rinsed and picked over
1/3 cup pearled barley (I used a little extra to finish off the bag)
1/3 cup bulgur wheat
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt (or to taste)

1. In a large stockpot pot over medium heat add the olive oil and onion.
2. When the onions soften up and get a bit translucent, add the garlic, ginger, chili powder and cumin. Stir well and cook for a minute of so, until everything gets quite fragrant.
3. Stir in the serrano pepper and chipotle pepper, tomatoes, and 4 cups of the broth.
4. Now add the chickpeas, lentils, barley, and bulgur - stirring between each addition.
5. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer. Take a taste of the broth a few minutes into the simmer - you can make adjustments for salt here.
6. Simmer away for about 35- 45 minutes or until the lentils and grains are cooked through. You will likely need to add the rest of the water if the chili thickens up too much.

Savoury French Toast with Slow-Roasted Tomatoes and Asparagus

 
At least my day started well!  That's all that I can say about the craziness that has been today.  I mentioned previously that I wanted to try a savoury French toast recipe.  I had found a new list of food blogs to check out this week and while I was going through them, I ran across a savoury French toast recipe.  Of course I had to make it.  The Val-Mont had skinny asparagus on sale, so I picked some up to add to the recipe, only to discover while I was cooking that the original also relies on asparagus.

I used slow roasted tomatoes with this, but sun-dried tomatoes would certainly also work well.  I know fresh tomatoes are best in the summer, but slow roasting is very forgiving of the tomato, so now might be a good time to make them and freeze the extras for later ... unless you want to be leaving your oven on for 4 - 8 hours in summer!  A full description along with links to other people's successes can be found here .  Essentially, to slow roast tomatoes, you cut them in half length wise.  Drizzle some olive oil on a baking dish.  Place tomatoes face up in the baking dish.  Scatter some garlic cloves with the skin still on between the tomatoes.  Sprinkle some Italian seasonings and salt on the tomatoes.  Drizzle it all with olive oil.  Then bake the tomatoes for anywhere from 6 hours at 200F or 8 - 12 hours at 150 - 175F depending on your schedule and your oven.  It will smell amazingly good while you're doing this!

The other main change I made to this recipe was to substitute ground mustard for spreading dijon mustard on the bread.  I was worried that the dijon would be overpowering since I'm not a huge fan.  This made about 2 servings.  Feel free to scale up or down.


Ingredients

4 slices of day old baguette
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
salt and pepper
1/2 tsp ground mustard
3/4 tsp mix of Italian seasonings
1/4 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
4 halves of slow-roasted plum tomato 
4 skinny asparagus, broken into 2 inch pieces

1.  In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the cream, egg, Italian seasonings, ground mustard, and salt and pepper (start with a half teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture, turning to coat, and leave them to soak for about 20 minutes on each side. 
2.  Bring a small pot of water to a boil.  Cook the asparagus in boiling water for about 3 minutes.  Remove.
3.  Preheat oven to 400F.  Line a baking dish or cookie sheet (with sides) with parchment paper.
4.  Place the bread slices on the paper.  Top with a tomato half.  Sprinkle a little cheese.  Top with equivalent of one asparagus.  Sprinkle with more cheese.
5. Place the baking dish in the oven for 20 minutes or so, until the bread is slightly browned on the inside and the tomatoes are taking on a little color.

Cauliflower and Camembert Soup

This recipe was inspired by other sources, but is more or less my invention.  I think it's a success.  It's creamy and delicious.  A slightly stronger cheese might be an improvement, but I wasn't in the mood for gorgonzola.  I had roasted garlic readily available and added that.  A lesser amount of minced garlic could easily be substituted.

Cauliflower and Camembert Soup

Ingredients

1 cauliflower
2 tbsp butter
1 white onion, chopped
3 cloves roasted garlic, chopped
1 tsp Italian seasonings (any mix of thyme, oregano, parsley, rosemary, etc)
2 bay leaves
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup white wine
150g Camembert, rind removed, cut into squares
1/3 cup heavy cream

1. Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and break it into small florets.  You don't need a knife to do this.  It will break apart more cleanly without one.  Set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat.  Add onions and cook until translucent.  Do not brown the onions.  If using raw garlic, cook it as well.
3. Add the cauliflower and roasted garlic. Pour in wine and broth.  Add in Italian seasoning and bay leaves. 
4. Bring to a simmer.  Cover and allow to simmer for 40 minutes or until cauliflower is softened.
5. Remove bay leaves.  Remove from heat.  Blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
6. Add in cheese and heavy cream.  Stir until smooth. If the cheese needs help melting, put back on over low heat.
7. Serve with crusty baguette.
