Paprika Tempeh & Potatoes (Second Version)

You might remember that I shared a version of Paprika Tempeh & Potatoes a while ago, but this version has a few changes that tasted different enough that I wanted to share it as well. The first was based on a Paprika Chicken recipe I used to make years ago. It's important to remember that with any recipe small changes, sometimes just one ingredient, can change the flavor profile in a distinctive way. There are other changes that are almost undetectable. I enjoy playing with recipes to test flavor profiles and sharing those results to demonstrate the flexibility of cooking. So here's my second version of Paprika Tempeh & Potatoes. I served it with flat bread this time, which was quite good.


Paprika Tempeh & Potatoes

1 pound package tempeh
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 medium red onion
1 medium carrot
2 tablespoons paprika
8 small purple potatoes
1-2 cups shredded cabbage
2 cups tomato sauce
½ cup red wine (optional)
1 – 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup nut milk
1 teaspoon chia seeds


Mix together nut milk and chia seeds and set aside.

Chop tempeh into ½ inch pieces. Dice onion. Chop carrot into small pieces. Cut potatoes into approximately ½-inch pieces.

Add water to large skillet or saucier pan, bring to a boil, and add ground flax seeds and cook until it begins to thicken. Add tempeh and cook until well coated and beginning to brown.
 
Add a little more water, if necessary, add in onion and carrot. Cover and cook until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the paprika, wine (if using,) potatoes, tomato sauce, and the broth. If using wine, use one cup of broth. If not using wine use 1 ½ cups broth. Stir well. Bring to a boil. Add in pepper.

Reduce heat to medium simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Quickly stir in the nut milk mixture and remove from the heat.


Serve in bowls and top with raw cabbage.





Note: I use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Orange Cranberry Water

Image
I used to love drinking orange juice with a splash or cranberry juice in it, but I no longer drink fruit juices as a general rule because of the high sugar content and lack of fiber. Sometimes, like this morning, I get a craving for that flavor combination. This water isn't as sweet or as strong, but it satisfies that craving. I like to drink infused water because it helps me keep my hydration up when I get bored with plain water. Since I was craving this this morning and decided to make it to quench my craving, I decided to share it! Orange Cranberry Water 2 oranges 1 cup frozen cranberries 40-60 ounces water Wash oranges. Slice into piece discarding the end pieces. Remove seeds. Gently massage orange slices over the top of a pitcher . Drop slices into the pitcher.  Add cranberries. Fill pitcher with water. Place in the refrigerator and all to infuse for several hours, or overnight. Note: I use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Thoughts on How Not to Age: The Scientific Approach to Getting Healthier as You Get Older by Michael Greger, M.D., FACLM

How Not to Age: The Scientific Approach to Getting Healthier as You Get Older by Michael Greger, M.D., FACLM is a very long book. I read it out of curiosity about where Dr. Greger was going with it. How Not to Age took me months to read but also included a couple of pauses in reading due to a trip and personal circumstances. I reviewed How Not to Ag e on Reviews with TLC . I first became acquainted with Dr. Greger by watching his videos on nutritionfacts.org . I liked that he explained complex research in easy to digest segments that made sense and that he injected a bit of humor into his presentations of very serious analysis of the research around nutrition. I have read several of his books, own a couple of his cookbooks, and use the Daily Dozen app whenever I feel like I'm slacking off on my nutritional needs. I have discussed some of Dr. Greger's other books and website before because they have been instrumental in my journey to eat a healthy, whole food plant-based die...

Cherry Blueberry Water

Image
Cherry Blueberry Water ½ cup cherries ½ cup blueberries 60 ounces water   Place the berries in a 60-ounce* pitcher and fill pitcher with water. Let steep overnight in the refrigerator. You can refill the pitcher once or twice to get the most out of the berries depending on how quickly you drink the water.   Note: Berries can then be used in a smoothie, if desired. *I have used this recipe with everything from a 48 to a 64 ounce pitcher, but I usually use a 60 ounce. The berry flavor is a bit more intense with a 48 ounce and a little less intense with a 64. All taste good. Note: I use organic ingredients whenever possible.
