When I want to make something vegan, there are some fabulous vegetables that I can use as a main ingredient for my dish.
Mushrooms and cauliflower are some of those, my go-to ingredients.
Particularly these meaty king mushrooms are wonderful, because of their size and the “meaty” texture.
They certainly look important and it’s hard to not see them.
I love making curry.
I think adding little bit of this, and a little bit of that, while tasting and adjusting the flavors, trying to get closer and closer to what I’m looking for is such a fun process for me.
Also I shoulg mention that I finally got to use the wheat berries that I bought a while ago.
I first tried it at a restaurant in Chicago while we were visiting the city, and I fell in love with the texture.
By actually cooking it, I found out that it takes a long time to cook them through, but I still love them.
