Cauliflower Shawarma

Cauliflower Shawarma | livitygardens.com
Cauliflower Shawarma | livitygardens.com

Traditionally, shawarma is seasoned, thin-sliced meat stacked and cooked in a rotisserie. In this Cauliflower Shawarma, we skip the rotisserie experience, and concentrate on the flavors. And trust me, they are on point. This is actually a variation of my Oyster Mushroom Shawarma, because yes, a cauliflower is sometimes easier to find than oyster mushrooms. Plus, with the addition of walnuts, this recipe gives you a punch of antioxidants and Omega-3s, on top of that crunchy texture that’s so fabulous in this recipe. Try it, you will love it!

Shiitake Bacon

Shiitake Bacon
Shiitake Bacon

When you feel like bacon and that crazy umami flavor, there’s seriously nothing better than this Shiitake Bacon. In this breakfast bowl, I served the shiitake bacon on a bed of barely-sautรฉed spinach and shallots. I garnished with quickly-blanched broccolette, heirloom tomatoes, and green onions.

I also love shiitake in this Shiitake and Leek Spaghetti.

My Take on Mac and Cheese

I would suggest you cook your squash the day before or the morning of. It’s not a hard process, the oven does all the work, but having this done will cut your recipe making time significantly. All you have to do is preheat the oven to 400หš. Prick the squash with a sharp knife four times, place the squash directly on the oven rack and roast for one hour. Remove from the oven and let cool. Once cool enough to handle, peel, seed and cut into cubes. You now have cooked butternut squash flesh!

  • Author: livitygardens
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 1 hour and 8 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 13 minutes
  • Yield: 6 portions 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 butternut squash, cooked and diced (see description above to see how I do)
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight or 30 minutes in hot water, rinsed and drained
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons each sea salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk (I use oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 package macaroni or fusilli pasta, cooked

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns a deep golden color and is nicely caramelized, about 7-8 minutes. Add the garlic powder, smoked paprika and turmeric. Cook, stirring, for an additional two minutes. Remove from the heat.

In a high-speed blender, place the squash, the cashews, the onion mixture, plant-based milk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and sea salt and pepper. Blend until silky smooth.

In a large pot or bowl, mix the pasta with the desired amount of sauce and serve. I like mine with crispy sage or minced fresh parsley, for a more adult version. You may also keep aside some cubed squash and fry them in a bit of olive oil and a sprig of rosemary. Serve atop the pasta. Either way, all yummy!

Macaroni au fromage vรฉgรฉ et santรฉ

Je vous suggรจre de cuire votre courge butternut la veille ou le matin mรชme. Ce n’est pas un processus complexe, le four fait le gros du travail, mais ceci coupera le temps d’assemblage de la recette de faรงon significative. Pour ce faire, prรฉchauffez le four ร  400หš. Faites quatre petites incisions dans la courge ร  l’aide d’un petit couteau. Placez la courge directement sur la grille du four et cuire pendant une heure. Retirez du four et laissez refroidir. Vous pouvez ensuite peler et retirer les graines. Coupez ensuite en cubes et voilร !

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 1 heure 8 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 heure 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 portions 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 courge butternut, cuite et coupรฉe en cubes (voir la description plus haut pour voir comment je fais)
  • 1/2 tasse de noix de cajou brutes, trempรฉes toute une nuit ou 30 minutes dans l’eau chaude
  • 2 c. ร  thรฉ d’huile d’olive
  • 1 gros oignon, coupรฉ en dรฉs
  • 1/2 c. ร  thรฉ de poudre d’ail
  • 1/4 c. ร  thรฉ de paprika fumรฉ
  • 1/4 c. ร  thรฉ de curcuma moulu
  • 2 c. ร  thรฉ chacun de sel de mer et de poivre
  • 1/2 tasse de lait de plante (j’utilise du lait d’avoine)
  • 1 c. ร  thรฉ de moutarde de Dijon
  • 2 c. ร  soupe de jus de citron
  • 1 boรฎte de macaroni ou fusilli, cuits

Instructions

Chauffer l’huile d’olive dans une poรชle ร  feu moyen-vif. Ajouter l’oignon et cuire, en brassant souvent, jusqu’ร  ce que l’oignon soit tendre et caramรฉlisรฉ, environ 7-8 minutes. Ajouter la poudre d’ail, le paprika fumรฉ et le curcuma. Cuire, en brassant, deux minutes de plus. Retirer du feu.

Dans un mรฉlangeur ร  haute vitesse, placer la courge, les noix de cajou, le mรฉlange oignon et รฉpices, le lait, la moutarde de Dijon, le jus de citron, et le sel de mer et poivre. Mรฉlanger jusqu’ร  l’obtention d’une texture lisse. Goรปter et ajuster les assaisonnements.

Dans une grande casserole ou un grand bol, mรฉlanger les pรขtes cuites avec la quantitรฉ de sauce dรฉsirรฉe. J’aime bien garnir mon macaroni avec de la sauge croustillante ou du persil frais hachรฉ. Vous pouvez aussi garder des cubes de courge et les faire sauter dans l’huile d’olive avec une branche de romarin, pour une version plus adulte. Quelle que soit la garniture, ou mรชme sans, c’est dรฉlicieux!
