My treasure hunt for ingredients took me to Trader Joe's & Earth Fare. And I never found umeboshi plum vinegar. So I just used red wine vinegar instead.
Other odd ingredients: white miso paste, dandelion greens, & brown mustard seeds.
The most fun part of this recipe...put brown mustard seeds in hot oil and wait for them to pop!! It was like popcorn or like little bullets trying to get you!
Finished product below
My overall rating is a 3 out of 5. It was soooooo flavorful with 7 cloves of garlic, a jalepeno, and red pepper flakes. I would make it again except use kale instead of the dandelion greens. They were a little too bitter for me. I hate to say but it would have been great with a good little steak :)
The cookbook says it is a good savory side for the blue cornmeal pancakes that I am making tomorrow. So we will see about that. I ate it just by itself and it needed something else because the flavors were intense. Maybe a good piece of toasted vegan bread.
Let me know if you want the recipe & I will send it to you.
Sorry it wasn't as good as it could have been. You are a trooper for trying it!
ReplyDeleteYou can get that plum vinegar at Healthy Home Market. It's amazing.
