In shallow Dutch oven or sauce pan heat oil over medium heat; cook light green parts of onions garlic coriander salt and pepper for about 2 minutes or until softened Stir in orange rind and juice; boil for 30 seconds or until reduced by half
Stir in beets; cook covered and stirring once for about 4 minutes or until beets are heated through Sprinkle with dark green parts of green onions
1 cup peach jam the kind that has fruit pieces in it
Steps:
Heat oil moderately hot about 190c
Roll up tortillas loosely and fasten with a wooden toothpick to create a shell form so hollow in centre like a brandy snap then fry a few at a time until they are golden brown
Mix cinnamon and sugar
Mix together ricotta and jam
While shells are still warm roll in cinnamon sugar holding one of the ends dip in melted chocolate and roll in finely diced nut pieces
Fill the cannolis with the ricotta jam mixture
These are best filled with a pastry bag But a table knife heaped with mixture and slid in will work
Cut cabbage in one inch bands Separate leaves Place in large bowl Sprinkle with 2 T of salt save 1/2 T for final mix and mix salt in well making sure every leaf gets some Cover and let sit for 6 hours or so until cabbage is wilted Rinse well
After wilting I like to sift through and break in half vertically some of the larger thicker pieces of cabbage from closer to the base of the leaves Not required but I think it makes for a better balanced final product
Cut Daikon into matchstick pieces 1 to 2 inches long Chop green onions across in bands or lengthwise in strips as preferred Mince garlic and ginger I usually do this preparation while the cabbage is wilting
Mix everything in bowl then pack semi-tight in jars and put on lids
Store in cool dark place Check daily after 3 days continuing to check periodically until fermented to your taste Could take a week or so Refrigerate when down Keeps well in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks
The preparation time listed is in reference to the actual hands-on labor It does not take into account the wilting time or of course the fermentation time

To create the clover shape
take one piece of dough and divide into 3 sections Set as small piece of the dough aside for the stem
Next roll each piece into a 4 inch rope then twist the piece into a 5 1/2-6 inch rope Form the rope into a circle and pinch the ends to close Repeat

Using a wide spatula
carefully transfer the shamrocks to the baking sheet
Cover and place in a warm oven to rise for about 30 minutes Tip Although we have a proofing feature in our oven which I used for this recipe you can also turn on the oven to 200 degrees then immediately turn it off leaving the oven light on This will help the dough to rise a little

etc Some of the shamrocks we decorated with neon gel after removing from the oven
Bake approximately 20 minutes or until the shamrocks are lightly browned on top and bottom Baking time depends on the size of the pieces you make

Vegan Rice Pudding With Coconut | Vegetarian Recipes
its too hot Somewhere between baby bath water and lukewarm is good Add flour
salt
and yeast Mix together
place in oiled bowl
flip to coat in oil
cover with lid or plastic wrap Let sit 1 hour
or until doubled in bulk Separate into balls Somewhere between a golf and tennis ball
depending on how big you want the runzas to be
I guess Let those rest at least 15 minutes
Preheat oven to 350 Lightly flour a work surface
and roll a bit of dough out to as thin a circle as you can manage without tearing it Its ready for filling
While the water-oat mix is cooling
get started with your filling First
get the cabbage shredding out of the way Then dice your onions
sing Im NOT crying Flight of the Conchords style as you go wink This will probably take you as long as the water to cool
if you are doing the shredding by hand When the bread dough is rising and has about 30 minutes left to rise
start with making the filling
Saute the onions until translucent 10-12m
and crumble in the beef I had to use a bread dough scraper to chop it up small enough to really work with
so it didnt stick to the pan If sticking does occur
add a little more oil When those are mixed together and heated through
add your cabbage I promise it cooks down
Stir those around a bit and let flavors meld When the cabbage is getting lighter in color and is softening
add your seasonings Let this simmer on a low temp as you work with the bread dough
and let the dough balls rest Roll out dough ball when it has rested
and fill with 1/3c to 2/3c 1/3 is about right for an 8 or 9 circle
so more if you made yours bigger Add additional Worcestershire and soy sauce as needed
filling should be moist but not WET
To fold the dough around the filling and make it look nice
I flipped one long corner over
flipped the short ones down Wet the last dough flap with water
flip up and press it inches Wetting it will help it stick and not open up It should look something like a burrito now Dust with flour on all sides so it wont stick to your pan and break open Place
seam side down
on a greased pan and start over Continue until you run out of dough or you run out of filling
1 1/2 lbs wild mushrooms cleaned and finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt more to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper more to taste
6 cups vegetable stock
Steps:
Clean all the mushrooms before chopping wipe with damp paper towel
or remove dirt with small mushroom brush
Melt butter and olive oil in soup pot on medium heat
Add shallot
cook until beginning to caramelize
stirring infrequently
Add mushrooms
thyme
salt
and pepper; cook
stirring occasionally
until mushrooms have released their liquid and liquid has mostly evaporated
Add broth and any soaking liquid
scraping up browned bits Bring to a boil
reduce to simmer
and cook until mushrooms are tender Adjust seasoning
Remove from heat
cool slightly Puree soup with stand blender in batches or immersion blender until smooth Add more liquid if you want it thinner broth or water would do
Serve
NOTES I used a combination of fresh mushrooms including cremini
chanterelle
hen of the woods maitake
and beech bunashimeji For depth of flavor
I added some some dried shiitake mushrooms Soak dried mushrooms in 1-2 cups hot water for 30-60 minutes before use; add the liquid with the broth discard sediment; if using shiitakes
discard stems too
they are tough Instead of separating the thyme leaves
you can just tie a bunch of sprigs together and fish the bundle out before pureeing The original recipes suggested leaving it half-pureed and rustic but I found it grainy so I pureed it completely This soup can be made ahead Reserve 1-2 cups broth and add it while reheating on medium-low This is what I did for garnish per serving When the butter and olive oil were hot
I cooked some pretty slices of cremini and reserved them On each serving I drizzled about 1 tsp cream
eyedroppered very few drops of truffle oil
sprinkled a couple of thyme leaves
and floated a reserved mushroom slice
