Italian Medley

This week is turning out to be be a magical mystery tour of food.

Spanning three cookbooks and the country of Italy: Grilled red-wine marinated tofu (adapted from the trusty Veganomicon), smoked garlic pesto (a smidge different than Isa’s recipe in Vegan with a Vengeance), and chickpea pizza from Madhur Jaffrey’s World Vegetarian.

This was the first time for the chickpea pizza, and I was impressed by the flavor and texture. It’s gluten-free as well, which gives it some points. It doesn’t need a lot of toppings, or even sauce; the crust is the focus here. Add some fresh herbs to the dough and maybe a scattering of the veggie of your choice on top.

For dessert was super-secret nut bars. They were amazing. I would post the recipe but I believe the ninjas would come after me if I did, so you’ll have to settle for a picture.

  2. What about the ninja’s that might come after you for NOT posting the nut bar recipe? ;) It looks absolutely delish!
