Vegeterian Tips: Keep your favorite salad dressings on hand. I find that I m much more likely to eat my greens or some raw veggies when my favorite salad dressings are in the fridge. A little variety is great too I try to keep at least two kinds, either store bought or homemade on hand at all times. Some of my favorites are homemade goddess dressing, Thai peanut sauce from my local Asian grocer and rasberry vinaigrette. A vegan ranch dressing was helpful as well when I was trying to wean myself off dairy.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- a good vegetable stock
- roasted, peeled green chile
- olive or vegetable oil
- flour
- onio
- garlic
- salt to taste
- small amount of lemon juice
Directions:
I”ve been trying to work out a good, vegetarian New Mexico green chile
sauce for a while now. What I”ve got isn”t so much a recipe as a vague
procedure, but here goes:
You need a good vegetable stock. I typically use onion, carrot,
turnip, celery, and cilantro.
You also need roasted, peeled green chile. I prefer a mixture of the
standard New Mexico/Anaheim chiles (the long, thin ones) and chiles
poblanos (a shorter, thicker, darker green chile). The poblanos spice
things up a bit.
The chiles are prepared by washing them, then placing them under a
broiler until their skins are charred (you”ll need to turn them several
times), then wrapping the hot chiles in a dishtowel to steam. After 15
minutes or so, the chiles are relatively easy to peel and seed.
To actually make the sauce, I make a roux using olive or vegetable oil
and flour. The roux should be cooked until it is a light caramel
color. I then add onion and garlic and saute them until they are
soft. Next I add green chile, vegetable stock, and salt to taste, and
cook until the sauce has thickened. At the end I usually add a small
amount of lemon juice to bring out the flavor of the chile.
Oregano, cumin, and/or cilantro can also be added.
