Gochujang Lentils with Mozzarella Grits

January 7, 2020 2 Comments

January is in full swing and decadence has left the building. Yes, welcome to the month where cooler heads, common sense, and will power prevail…Or at least, that’s the plan. Depending on who you are, January might compel you to skip the booze, bid adieu to meat, or clip a few extra coupons. But even if don’t subscribe to dry January or the like, the beginning of a new month, new year, and a new decade has likely left you contemplating the state of the foot you’re putting forward. Is it all that it could be? Well, with that spirit in mind, allow me to introduce you to these Gochujang Lentils with Mozzarella Grits. They’re meat-free, healthy-ish, and easy on the wallet. In other words, they’re the ultimate January-friendly food.

Okay, show of hands, who got sick this holiday season? Well, if you’re waving your hand in the air, stop because I can’t see you and you might be in public, but also know that I share your pain. I almost always get sick around Christmas. Most of the time I’m gifted a cold but this year I was thrown a curveball in the form of a stomach flu. A stomach flu is hard to write about on a food blog. Truth is I didn’t eat much save a few saltines while I sick. And since this post is not sponsored by Premium Plus, I won’t say much more about the flu. I will instead give you the recipe for the soup I make when I have a cold, which I affectionately call Death’s Door Rice Noodle Soup.

There was a time when planning Christmas dinner was a straight forward affair. You’d order the turkey, pick up a big bag of potatoes and quibble about what kind of stuffing to make. Well, it’s simply not that simple anymore. Our holiday tables have never been so diverse. Almost everyone I know has a vegetarian or vegan coming to dinner. And you know what? I’m all for it. I don’t think that making a dietary choice, moral or otherwise, should isolate you. On the flip side, I do feel for the omnivorous host who may find themselves short on veg-heavy ideas. So, I give you this Curried Lentil Pot Pie to make the season less confusing and far more merry and bright.

Vegetarian Scotch Eggs with Mushy Peas

Scotch eggs, in their original form, are among my favorite guilty pleasures. For the uninitiated, a scotch egg consists of an egg enrobed in sausage meat, rolled in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried for good measure. It’s a fairly debaucherous snack to be sure, but oh so worth it for every greasy bite. But for the vegetarians in the crowd, the scotch egg is a no-fly zone. And I think that’s too bad because, to me, the sausage meat in a scotch egg is far from the main attraction. The mark of a good scotch egg, in my books, is a crisp exterior matched with a gloriously runny yolk. So, I nixed the sausage meat and replaced it with a homage to another British classic – mushy peas. And boom! These Vegetarian Scotch Eggs were born.
