Thanks dawg ive fed 4 people today and i'm ready to go home

There's too much shit in a kitchen to clean and my coworkers are all fucking slobs so it's built up

Edit: i actually don't know how many people i fed but at least 15 portions were gone the one time i checked my station before i fucked off to lightspeed home to summer break

Not a bad ratio honestly when we only had like 28 people show up for breakfast total, the faculty loves my shit

Top one looks good as long as those are not tomatoes (I cannot eat tomatoes unless in a sauce) bottom looks amazing. Mid is probably good I just dont like cauliflower

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

Why can't you eat tomatoes

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

They trigger an involuntary vomit response when I smell them fresh cut. I used to eat cherry tomatoes off the vine as a toddler in my aunt's garden and our best guess is I accidentally ate a rotten one and now the smell and taste makes me gag. I love salsa and pizza/pasta sauce though just no salsa fresca or pico de gallo

That really sucks im sorry for your loss :[

[-] Crucible@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

I'm the same way, there's even a terpene in some types of weed that smells like raw tomato and it makes me gag

there's gotta be something that can be done for y'all because it's sad that you can't enjoy the delicate floral flavors of a fresh tomato

what about sundried tomatoes? idk how much they caramelize during drying so idk if they'd register as fresh or cooked for y'alls tomato avoidance syndromes

and what about tomato powder? like if you take fresh tomatoes and just dehydrate them until they're like paper and then grind 'em up (shit's good) would that be different enough from what's setting it off or nah

[-] Lowleekun@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

This all looks amazing. God damn it i am hungry.

[-] Zombie@feddit.uk 7 points 3 weeks ago

Leeerooooy Jeeenkiiins, I am not jealous because you've got chicken, I'm jealous because that vegan food looks dope AF!

Any chance of some recipes?

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Sorry the recipes they give me are all very bad (i don't think i can remember a single recipe they've given me where there isn't too much/too little of something or just a lack of depth of flavor) so i kinda just freestyle everything and all i write down is what allergens i added

To the best of my recollection for the chicken, it's gardein brand "chik'n" which i steamed (you can probably skip this unless yours is also frozen) and chopped up before marinating because it has a kind of gross appearance and texture otherwise. I marinated in Franks (i think, whatever we get it's vegan) buffalo sauce. That's all the recipe called for but i hate buffalo sauce because it tastes how i imagine pepper spray to and idk i like flavor. So i added some garlic and onion powder and a little bit of soy sauce and roasted garlic i blended into it (i like garlic and pro tip garlic powder and roasted garlic have different flavors). I marinated it for a bit in the sauce before roasting until it just started to brown and had a consistency as close to cooked chicken as this stuff gets before cooling it down.

The rest of the wrap is just fine chopped celery, romaine, and sliced cherry tomatoes tossed in a spicy aioli that was basically just vegan mayo with sriracha, chili powder, cayenne, paprika and onion and garlic powder added (and more roasted garlic)

The green beans i just like made a vinaigrette with red wine vinegar and lemon juice, garlic/onion and i don't remember what else honestly other than a biiiig squeeze of dijon mustard.

To prep the green beans you just steam them for like 6-7 minutes and then cool them down in an ice bath to stop them cookinh, then toss in the dressing. Itd probably be better to dry them first though so the added water doesn't fuck up the dressing

The cauliflower i just roasted with garlic and onion powder and thyme and then cooled down and tossed in pesto. It's actually the one thing i do have a recipe for and this recipe is very good.

You can cut some basil and fill it in with spinach or arugula but idk why you'd want to unless you're super cheap or hate basil

I always make it with sunflower seeds because we don't use nuts at my job

[-] Zombie@feddit.uk 6 points 3 weeks ago

Oh wow! Thank you! I'll definitely be giving some of this a try soon :D

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

Np i hope my vague descriptions bring you successfully to flavor country

[-] Sulvy@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

Would smash

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

holeh moleh i wish i hadn't just eaten dinner because now my mouth is watering.

[-] beanocene@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Never tried the Gardein stuff, if you want to try something else I swear by the Butler Soy Curls. My absolute favorite vegan meat substitute (not considering tofu and tempeh), it's just dried whole soybeans with a really nice, chewy texture. Rehydrate in veggie stock and chefs-kiss. You can buy them in 12 pound bulk since you work in a kitchen. Link

Love your vegan slop posts btw

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Wait, they're whole soybeans? Not like a tofu esque thing? How are they different from edamame then or are they just dry edamame

[-] beanocene@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

They probably are basically dried edamame: "Soy curls are made by boiling and dehydrating whole, non-GMO soybeans, which creates a texture similar to chicken. They are then processed into fibrous strands and packaged for use as a meat alternative." Whatever they do to them the texture is incredible - I use them whenever something calls for chunks or strips e.g. stews and curries but they've very flexible.

Pictures on this website give you a good idea of what they're like? Ignore the recipe Link

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

yeah i'm really confused why it looks like shredded strips of chicken but yeah that could be cool, i was going to say they might be too expensive but I think 12Ib of those are cheaper than the 10Ib cases of the beyond beef crumble that we buy (i don't buy or pay for shit I just get to call myself chef and shower myself with praise)

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

That cauliflower gives me memories of my childhood, my mom would always fry it for dishes and the whole house would smell like a fart but it's comforting

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

what if farts smell like cauliflowers

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

if you're ever doing ground beef-like consistency I really like mixing (precooked) lentils and tvp at 1:1 + whatever seasoning/sauce

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

we get this Beyond branded beef crumble but something like that might also be good because the Beyond stuff tastes beefy but also with this weird fruity sweetness

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

Reminds me of my go-to chipotle burrito, sofritas + veggies with hot sauce. 10/10 would eat.

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Never heard of it, i think i'll try that if i remember when im doing vegan food again in like... August
