Vegetarian Lunch: just baking stuff

It's Saturday and I'm awfully hungry. That's the essence of this post. I need a snack, to stay on the healthy side (if you've followed my previous posts you'll know what I need to balance the other stuff I eat).

My solution? Baked goods: Broccoli, zucchinis, mushrooms, vegetarian hotdogs, just a drizzle of sunflower oil, some freshly ground black pepper. That's it.

I was going to make a tahini sauce and experiment with adding some ginger and coconut flakes to it, but I succumbed to my hunger - the smells just overpowered me.
I ate the veggies and dogs with a bit of mustard, sriracha and sweet chilli sauce. It was delicious.

Later I think I'm gonna try making a new variation on a lasagna, should be interesting - I'll even  keep you posted if it turns out good.

I call it "Big Nasty"

Behold my unholy creation, yesterday's midnight's snack, a festival of cheese, condiments and bread.

I call it "Big Nasty". 

The name is rather justified but it tastes great. See below the image for details and ingredients.

Allow me to list the ingredients in order of appearance from left to right:

• Nutella + cheese
• BBQ sauce + cheese
• Horseradish sauce + cheese
• Pickled ginger + cheese

The cheeses are a mix between Gouda and Gilboa, the bread is a seeded type, with a nice crunchy crust.

On the whole, the sandwich was an amazing mixture of flavors that did the job quite nicely. The sweetens of the nutella, the aroma and smoky flavor from the BBQ, the  flavor and punch from the horseradish sauce and above all the ginger that added a hint of vegetable with a dash of pickle.

Sure, this might seem to be a bit over the top, but this is a kind of sandwich that one makes with what's found in the fridge, when stricken by unspeakable hunger.

Tell me if you like the idea of it, do tell me if you try and make one of your own. 

Stir fried vegetables on white rice

Check out this yummy goodness:

What you see is white rice, but above that rice is a pile of amazing flavors, string at me, waiting to be eaten, and all I do is take pictures while I drool.

Zucchinis, mushrooms, shavings of ginger, carrots, bits of red bell peppers, stir fried with freshly ground black pepper and whole cloves of garlic, with some mustard grains and grainy mustard, and then stir fried further with date syrup for that extra sweetness and a touch caramel flavor \ color.

I sometimes add various curry pastes to the mix, every paste has a different flavor and behaves differently upon frying so it's always interesting to experiment taste and explore.

This is a great side dish but is also good enough for a vegetarian main course (also vegan if you use the right ingredients).
