Who was the person who always posted pictures like this?

Interdesting - I've always wanted to try a vegan dish, so why not do it now; challenge accepted.

... my entry is mostly likely going to have to wait until next Tuesday at the earliest.. couldn't pick up my CSA veggies this week and the next drop-off is Tuesday.

yeaaaaaaahhh baby! It's the vietnamese le phuc dang and remembrance of mothers.
So it's literally vegetarian week for us too and I'm going to be volunteering at a temple making meals too!

yusss

How many fucking rounds are there...

>>3842342

Please do not mention your sex or gender on /ck/.

There are many people on /ck/ that are not in a relationship and do not have to be reminded of this. People go on /ck/ for enriching discourse and enjoyment, not to be reminded of this.

Many people on /ck/ also see this as a blatant attempt to vie for attention, which is deeply frowned upon by the community.

Please respect /ck/ and our sensitive virginity.

Oh my globe! What da lump you guys? Vegetarian? Do you think I can keep these lumps by eating grass and globe.

Just let stfuboosie win so hearts can go back to posting more cookbooks. :(

>>3846363

That only happens at Christmas, and considering the raft of shit she took the last time she tried doing it, last year was probably the last year for that.

>>3846363
I JUST got power restored after the storm, thanks again guys for your votes. I really expected more people to compete in the last round. Vegetarian cooking is NOT my forte, I will see what I can do. Looks as though everyone else seems to be happy with the challenge. Hopefully that means more people will participate. I wish everyone luck in the next round.

Alrighty, Vegetarian 3-bean chili. Extremely hearty.

1 each Red and White onions
1 whole bulb of garlic
1 medium sweet potato
1 each red and green bell pepper
2 large jalapenos, one de-seeded the other not.
1 can (or three good ears) of corn
4 or 5 large stalks of celery
1 large can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 large can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 large can chili beans, do not drain and rinse these.
28-32 oz tomato puree
Cumin, hand-rubbed whole oregano, black pepper, ground chili powder of your choice (EXCEPT cayenne, that's for later and I used California chili powder,) sage, ground mustard.

Cut all vegetables into chunks about the size of the kidney beans, except the garlic which gets sliced into 1.5mm thick rounds.

4 tbsp butter into a large pot, heat it up on high until the butter browns, toss in the jalapeno, garlic, onions, and corn. Cook for 5 minutes, until vegetables start to get soft.

Toss in the bell pepper, sweet potato, celery, add about 4 tablespoons of salt to force water out. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stain vegetables from liquids, discard liquids, return vegetables to pot and return pot to stove.

Add all of the beans to the pot of vegetables, mix well. grind up about 1 tablespoon of black pepper into the pot, stir. Add all of the tomato puree/sauce, allow to come to a boil, add the spices and half the amount of tomato sauce worth of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, simmer for a minimum of 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Serve with rice, dust with cayenne pepper, garnish with lime.

Shitposting in the threads has gone down over the years but last December was the first time I had been banned on 4chan for "copyright infringement". I don't even. Yeah.

I'm going to try to the Advent Calendar again this year, but if I get banned then that's the end of that. If enough people are interested, I can do the cookbook sharing via a mailing list but eh... I just prefer seeing the board with increased activity, not my gmail inbox.

I'm usually too busy working. I'd do these contest THE DAY of announcement, but I can't because job.

>>3848584
Well, you're free to think that. Ain't many ways to present chili, rice, and lime slices.

It seems like I won't submit anything this week since I'm on vacation and won't be back till 24 hours or so from now...which would be past the deadline.

I was going to make a black bean dip flavored with cumin, garlic and cilantro, garnished with feta cheese and alfalfa sprouts and served with tortillas.

OP, since there's only 1 post on here, can we have an extension?

>>3848584
I gave the 16/20. I thought that was an accurate vote. I don't think it is "high" either, but a mid-level vote. Not spectacular, but not terribad. Decent.

>>3848584

Man if I'm the only entrant this is going to suck. I vote for an extension too.

>>3850789
I made my entry. I am working on my post and editing my pictures/verticals. I plan on posting it in the morning of sept 4. I don't have a problem with an extension though for another week. I think it is great idea.

Looks like we'll be extending the challenge another day to Thursday the 6th. Let's see some great vegetarian dishes!

>>3850815
well, maybe posting it in the afternoon. I have some stuff to do in the morning. Either way, I am on board for an extension.

So guys, I've had guests over and had to upsize my original idea. I've made a vegetarian tortilla platter served with 2 dips and a salsa/salad:
- Black Bean Dip, flavored with cumin, garlic, chilies, creme fraiche and cilantro, topped with alfalfa sprouts and goat feta cheese.
- The other one was made by my neighbor at my place (under my supervision), it's a guacamole with shallots, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt and a little pepper.
- Third one is a quick salad made with cucumber, heirloom tomatoes, shallots with balsamic vinegar and a quick drizzle of olive oil.

Sad to say, my tortillas I made last night did not end too well and these ones in the pic are store bought.

More on the black bean dip, I soaked the beans overnight, boiled them until they broken down. After they broke down, I added in chopped cilantro stalks, leaves; chilies, 2 large cloves of garlic, cumin and a tiny bit of vegetable stalk, cooked that down a bit more before I blended the whole lot in a blender.

After that, I cooked it down a bit more to reduce the liquid and thicken it up. Finally, I added in a spoonful of creme fraiche and folded it in, to give the dip a smoother, fuller flavor and texture.

Transfer the whole thing to a bowl for serving, garnish with crumbled feta made from goat's milk and alfalfa sprouts.

My household is comprised of some very dedicated meat-eaters. They were a bit skeptical when I announced what the challenge was for this week. Luckily, everyone was pleased with the results of my hard work and we celebrated Labor Day in an unconventional way by giving the grill a rest.
I created a vegetarian meal worthy of a holiday or special occasion. It is balanced by taste, color, nutrition, and texture. There are three parts to this dish making up a single entry.

The first part is a Carpaccio of roasted beats and pink lady apples presented over a celery leaf, Belgian endive, and cucumber slaw. It is bright and refreshing. The earthy beets are sweet and mix well with the crisp apples. The slaw is like a summer cocktail and has a delightful crunch.

The next part of the dish is the sweet potato and kale colcannon. An Irish dish typically, I have remade it to highlight some of the wonderful local red sweet potatoes, emerald green kale, and fragrant garlic all grown in the very parish that I live in by some of my neighbors. It is creamy and comforting.

The final part of the dish is a terrine of mushrooms, roasted chickpeas, and goat cheese. It is by far my favorite part of the dish. It is sort of like a falafel pate. I found it satisfying and rich. The leftover terrine made quite a delicious sandwich filling. I broiled slices of it over rye bread and topped it with spicy arugula, thinly sliced pear, and a bit of Creole mustard. I am going to make this again to keep on hand as it seems to be quite versatile and addictive.

A shot of the whole dish

timestamp, thanks. enjoy.

You could use some work on presentation, otherwise a very enticing plate. I would not miss the meat.

Pearl barley risotto.

2 onions.
280g. of pearl barley.
1L. of water.
400g. of asparagus.
200g. of chanterelles.
4 tablespoons of apple vinegar.
4 tablespoons of honey.
2dl. of apple cider.
1 shallot.
Salt and pepper.

Take the onions and cut them into about 12 slices each, put them into a pan with low heat and some neutral oil - fry them until they are slightly golden. Add the apple vinegar and honey and let it all boil in, until there's almost no liquid left (this should "pickle" the onions).

Clean the pearl barley and fry the finely chopped shallot in some oil, add the barley and let it fry. Add the cider and let it boil for about 5 minutes: letting the barley soak up the apple flavour. After that you merely add water and let it boil for around 20 min. until it's risotto-like. Add salt, pepper and a final splash of cider at the end.

Finally cut the asparagus and fry them together with the chanterelles in some olive oil, salt and pepper for a couple of minutes. Finally add and knop of margarine and the pickled onions in the barley - serve with with the asaparagus/chanterelles.

If this weren't a vegan/vegetarian dish, you could use chicken stock instead of water or you could add some cheese to the risotto/use butter instead of margarine.

>>3854303
dude, you know that honey is not vegan, right?

>>3854320

Well technically it's not an "animal" product, since it's made by insects.

>>3854320
Fuck... Aww shit! I guess you could use some light sirup but... Yeah I fucked up...

>>3854353
Try telling that to customs agents.

>>3854353
insects are animals idiot

Heartsonfire, I am going vote on this dish but give it a penalty for not being vegan since he was required to make a vegan dish this round. I hope this is ok, if not then just disregard this post.

That's why they're called "insects" and not "animals" right?

The Wikipedia has spoken. Insects are animals.

Sorry, Derto. ;( Your entry is still valid, but we're going to deduct points from your score (for this entry only) for the mishap.

My entry is in the oven... pictures soon, hopefully.

Not what I had planned for the challenge, but life happened.

So, fall harvest crumble, with apples, pears and strawberries. The fruits are cooked with maple syrup and the crumble is butter, whole wheat pastry flour and oats flakes.

Making a vegan version of this, you would swap out the butter for vegetable shortening.

anyone else feel like voting?

why does it seem like everytime I have a fighting chance, someone scores stfuboosie's dish just that slightly higher than mine?
