Vegetarian Breakfast Burritos with Potato Lentil Fritters

May 9, 2020 No Comments

I know these Vegetarian Breakfast Burritos in no way resemble high-tea-fare, and yet I am putting them forward as a potential Mother’s Day brunch idea. I know, I’m so controversial. I’ve always found the difference between “Mother’s Day Food” and “Father’s Day Food” to be out-and-out hilarious. Only mothers could possibly enjoy the likes of lemon curd, smoked salmon, and peeled asparagus spears. And fathers? Well, that meal had better involve beer, pretzels, and a rack of ribs. How else would you know it was for dad?

Caramel Tofu Tahini Dumplings

If there is one thing lockdown has taught me, it’s the importance of dumplings. Whether they’re store-bought or homemade, dumplings are the chill dinner we all need and deserve. They store long-term in the freezer and take mere moments to cook directly from frozen in a nonstick pan. And if you treat your nonstick right, it’s the easiest piece of equipment to clean in all of modern cookery. I realize I posted a potsticker recipe just a few months ago. But desperate dim-sum-free times call for frequent dumpling recipes, so I hope you won’t find today’s Caramel Tofu Tahini Dumplings too repetitive.

Cacio e Pepe Pierogies with Radicchio & Crispy Shallots

For the past couple of years, Cacio e Pepe has been having a moment and it’s not hard to see why. A tangle of pasta dressed in pecorino and a cascade of black pepper – who can be mad at that? But I often wonder what life-long lovers of Cacio e Pepe think about this phenomenon. At first, I’m sure it was a “Duh, where have you been?” feeling. But with the onslaught of Cacio e Pepe-ized foodstuffs, I’m sure they’re feeling a little attacked. Cacio e Pepe chips, fries, pizza, even beignets – it’s probably a little too much. I can sympathize, but I have to be true to who I am and I am incapable of reading a room. So, here I am, adding fuel to the blasphemous fire, with my Cacio e Pepe Pierogies.

Peanut Butter Kale Potstickers

Ah, the potsticker! Endlessly adaptable and impossible to pass up. Sure, almost every dumpling could be described this way, but I do think the potsticker, with its irresistible crispy bottom, is a special case. The Japanese borrowed the guotie cooking-style to make the gyoza for a reason. But I hesitate to call today’s Peanut Butter Kale Potstickers guotie or gyoza because the filling is far from traditional. So, the Chinese to English translation of the word “guotie” (literally: ‘pot stick’) is probably all these dumplings deserve.
