Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[4c]

One small piece of tempeh goes a really long way…
I was doing some reading up on tempeh and its pretty amazing stuff; it has all sorts of fascinating health benefits because it’s a fermented food much like ginger bug in traditional sodas…

[sabergirl]

I miss tempeh.  It's something I haven't seen in any stores in my year and a half living in Mexico.  Looks like a yummy sandwich.

Supposedly if you buy bulk soy beans and tempeh starter it’s very cheap and easy to make at home.

[sabergirl]

Believe it or not, bulk soybeans might also prove a challenge. Also, laziness is a factor.

Chili con quorn. Vegetarian spicy stew, as you can imagine… Today we had it with ciabatta and good red wine, tomorrow with taters and more good red wine  A good stew is always better the second day!..

Curry basmati rice with heirloom tomatoes, white corn, and tahini.
I find adding shredded carrot to the curry counters the acidity of the tomatoes. This is an old Italian cooking trick.

[4c]

Sweet potatoes, corn, chilies, breaded eggplant, and caramelized onions.

Basmati rice with heirloom tomatoes, tempeh, and corn.

Rice Salad (brown rice, heirloom tomatoes, avocado, basil, and corn), fruit salad (grapes, melon, and watermelon), and iced Ginger lemonade with honey

[4c]

Used one Trinidad scorpion in a meal for two… lightly sautéed it and added to caramelized onions and it had an excellent flavor and a perfect heat level. I far prefer the flavor of the scorpion to that of ghost pepper; it has an amazing almost floral fragrance.

Dry farmed heirloom tomatoes

This is a similar recipe to the one I uses yesterday, but this one has fresh basils, a Trinidad scorpion, and dry farmed heirloom tomatoes.

Melon and watermelon

Used these for another meal

Trinidad Scorpion Round #2:

One scorpion in a bowl of avocado.

The flavor is much like a Hungarian red habenero, except the flavor of the Trinidad scorpion seems deeper, richer, yet less sharp and a bit hotter.

Would eat the living shit outta that
