What’s for dinner?

[Canid]

I started this topic years ago at AT & it seemed to be a big hit. We’re all from various countries, with different local traditional foods, & sharing your favorites can enlighten everyone for creative new dishes! And I think I’m starting it with the same thing haha!

Stuffed peckers
Mashed ‘taters au gratin
Brussels sprouts

We're a boring couple of vegetarian/vegan/pescatarian empty nesters but if you insist

big vegetable salad (red beet, kohlrabi, carrots...)
fried all-colour bell peppers with balsamico
green tahini (with parsley and garlic)

*off to google peckers and taters* (you don't really eat woodpeckers, do you... ???)

you too could make stuffed peckers! Just stuff the peckers with TVP instead of hamburg. I used to do it quite often. Pumpkins also...oh, I so love kohlrabi...it’s really good in coleslaw, but I prefer parsnips to carrots. Perhaps that’s why I can’t see at night?

I meant you can stuff pumpkins also, TVP, onions, ‘shrooms, zucchini, etc. Bake the pumpkin like it was a dutch oven, lid & all. It’s very festive.

What are peckers, hamburg, TVP...? English is only my third language so please have mercy! (Taters are potatoes?)

I’m sorry. Stuffed Peckers are bell peppers that are stuffed with something. Most commonly hamburg, ie ground beef. TVP is a must for vegetarians or vegans; Textured Vegetable Protein. It’s dried ‘crumbles’ that you rehydrate with water...really good stuff, & you can add spices of your choice. You can use it for meatless meatloaf, hamburgers, etc. Yes, ‘taters are potatoes, but when I mash them I always use cheese, hence the au gratin, it makes them creamy & fluffy. I hope this adds to your menu selections! But never buy a Tofurkey, they’re just nasty.

I stopped eating meat in 1977 and never ate TVP... so I learned something new.

Madame Lozanga predicts you will fall in lurv with tvp.

I'm sitting at work and was wondering what's for dinner when I happened to come upon this thread.

I think it deserves to be revived

Any ideas on dinner tonight ?

I pulled a TdM major and got Sun Rx. I think this means to grill, since the fire is coming up from underneath.
