Veggie Reuben Open-Faced Sandwich

Here’s a relatively quick lunch that makes use of the sauerkraut that I talked about in a previous post here. It consists of 1 or 2 pieces of your favorite bread, toasted, and spread with your favorite stone ground or Dijon mustard.  Top with Swiss cheese – we used Emmentaler, a slab of seared tofu (recipe follows) and (Cortido) sauerkraut. For those of you who haven’t tried tofu, or think you don’t like it, this recipe may change your mind. 4 servings Whole grain...

Sauerkraut in a Quart Jar

It’s never too late to learn something new.  I’ve always wanted to try making my own sauerkraut or ‘fermented cabbage’ as they say now days.  I did try making it in a quart jar a couple of years ago but when I saw a little mold on top I threw it out and never tried again.  What I didn’t know at the time was that you could scrape the white mold off the top and the cabbage underneath the liquid was perfectly fine to eat. Last spring I sat in on a fermentation...

Ratatouille Hot Dish Casserole Bake, with Potatoes

Can you tell by the title that I grew up in Minnesota?  Actually I was given a version of this recipe when I lived in Michigan many years ago so it’s more of a ‘bake’ or ‘casserole’. The original recipe included a double layer of sliced zucchini, onions, tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese and fresh basil (salt & pepper to taste) – baked until done in  a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes.  I made it this way for years.  With all the water content in these...
