Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[DanielAFC]

This dressing is in regular rotation in my house. I just shared it with guests last week and it got great reviews across the board.  The dressing comes from the kitchen at the whitewater ski resort in nelson British Columbia, check out their cook books for many amazing recipes

Probably the best way to serve this would be over top of a bowl consisting of

Base: quinoa or rice
Greens - spinach, arugula, kale (pre soaked in lemon juice) etc.
Veg: carrots, peppers, beets, mushrooms, roast potatoes etc.
Other: tofu, chicken etc.

Dressing is:

1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce ( after much experimentation I use Braggs)
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup water
2 tbsp tahini
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cup veg oil ( I have found grape seed oil works best for flavour, but coconut oil is nice as well if you are willing to warm and reblend leftovers.)

This dressing is legendary in the kootenays, and I have heard it referred to as crack sauce before. Enjoy.

That looks very good and very healthy–have you tried olive oil? I do love grapeseed as well.

[DanielAFC]

Olive oil works perfectly well, I just prefer the taste from grapeseed. It could be that I just haven't tried with good enough olive oil yet as well though .

I'm really looking forward to trying your chilli as well. I had no idea that beans and such weren't standard. I'm certainly not afraid of a long slow cook so I think your recipe will turn out quite well for me

[mclaincausey]

Gotcha… Beans are fine, I just don't use them in my beef chili, and certain circle prohibit them

[4c]

DanielAFC, that sounds great :-*, just so happens I have everything you mentioned on hand too! Will have to make.
