Risotto and Blondies
I failed to take a picture of the cookies I took to a Hanukkah party last Friday. I made the Big Gigantoid Crunchy Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Cookies from Vegan With A Vengeance except I added chocolate chips. Mmmm….peanut butter and chocolate. They disappeared quickly.
If you have a pressure cooker, you need to make risotto. It’s quick, yummy, always impresses people and is super easy. This week I made Risotto with Carrots, Peas, and Mint from Recipes from an Ecological Kitchen (now called Lorna Sass’ Complete Vegetarian Kitchen). Be sure to use a quality stock, because it really makes the dish.
Now, back into Vegan With A Vengeance for some more treats. The Raspberry-Chocolate Chip Blondie Bars are always good, but this time I decided to try the Macadamia Blondies with Caramel-Maple Topping. I ate one last night, for testing purposes only of course. They’re good, but I think I enjoy the raspberry-chocolate combo better.
