very pleased with today's food choices

#been eating kind of shit the last week #which was making it hard to think clearly #brain fog.. made me think about what ppl in gaza are facing not having enough to eat daily for several months #when i cook eggplant or okra it makes me think of palestine somehow... actually most things i cook remind me of it #bc the prepation method is similiar #but yeah i had a chicken stew type thing #with okra eddo potato and tomato #i made two batches of different flavors & used a bunch of whole spices like coriander and cumin seeds black pepper bay leaves cinnamon stic #cloves etc.. and a bunch of whole green chillies #to add flavor.. but it wasn't spicy so i also added red chili powder #which made it perfect.. right amount of salt spice fat and vegetables #10/10 and i bought a big bowl today which made eating easy peasy #anyways i got sad for a bit too thinking about how easy food is to access for me bc i can get 5 leg+thigh for 6 bucks #and there was a post once about how this woman was pregnant and her husband had to pay like i think 20 bucks for a handful of meat #🧃 #but bro i bought sumac and then completely forgot about it and was racking my brain to think what my second flavor palette should be #i used soy sauce/oyster/fish/black vinegar along with the whole spices and also some lemonade for citrus.. bc i didnt have lemons #and pouring juice is easier than squeezing oranges #it was surprisingly good like a nice flavor it came together well #i am gonna use the sumac next bc i want to make some version of musakhan

[ID: A sandwich on a ciabatta roll; a plate of tomato sliced and a glass of mint lemonade are in the background. End ID]

Tofu sandwich with garlic-lemon sauce

A sweet, savory, and well-spiced glaze clinging to fried, crispy tofu. The zest and brightness of garlic-lemon mayonnaise complement the depth of the glaze. A great breakfast sandwich or weekend lunch option when eaten with your choice of bread and toppings.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

Ingredients:

For the sandwiches:

4 ciabatta rolls, or other bread

Bean sprouts or other greens

For the tofu:

1 block (350g) extra firm tofu

2-3 Tbsp potato starch, or cornstarch

Oil to fry

For the tofu slurry:

2 scallions, sliced (optional)

2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil, or olive oil

2 Tbsp soy sauce

2 Tbsp light soy sauce

1/2 Tbsp light brown sugar

1 tsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp Sichuan pepper

Pinch ground fennel

Pinch ground sumac

Pinch ground cubeb pepper (Piper cubeba; kabab chini; كبابة صينى)

Pinch smoked paprika

1 Tbsp cornstarch

Cubeb berries may be found in the spice section of a south Asian grocery store, where they will be labelled "kabab chini." They are sometimes mistaken for allspice, but cubeb berries are smaller and more consistent in size, are darker in color, and have a slightly 'wrinkled' appearance. They have a pungent, camphorous, and sharp aroma. If you don't have any, you may replace them with equal parts black pepper and allspice; or a pinch of ground Indian black cardamom.

For the garlic mayo:

1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise

1 large clove garlic, grated

1 tsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp table salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Water, if necessary

Instructions:

For the garlic mayo:

1. Mix all ingredients except water in a small mixing bowl. Add water or lemon juice until desired consistency is achieved. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.

For the marinade:

1. Pulverise scallion with salt in a mortar and pestle, and mix with other ingredients; or add all ingredients to a blender and combine.

For the tofu:

1. Drain tofu, wrap in a kitchen towel, and press under a flat, heavy object for 20-30 minutes.

2. If your block of tofu is particularly thick, slice it into two thinner slabs; then halve it widthwise to make four pieces. The tofu in the photo has only been halved widthwise to make two, thicker pieces.

3. Coat tofu in potato starch or cornstarch.

4. Heat 1/2" (1cm) of a neutral oil in a skillet on medium. Fry tofu slices, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Set aside.

5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (or remove the oil from the one you used earlier). Add tofu and marinade and cook, pushing the marinade onto the tofu slices and flipping occasionally, until marinade is clinging to the tofu.

To assemble:

1. Add cooked tofu to sandwiches along with greens, tomatoes, avocado, or sliced onion as desired. Top with garlic mayo.

i saw your post about native north american plants for birds in the winter. i’m from southern california so scrubland/chaparral. my neighborhood isn’t very friendly towards small ground animals but a two minute walk takes you to an undeveloped canyon. i’m aware most birds migrate further south for the winter but i’d like to know if you have any recommendations for plants and small trees that would be beneficial for them. my neighborhood does have some trees in communal spaces and some of those trees do have seedpods but i’d always like to help. i’ve seen neighbors who have bird feeders but do not currently have the resources to maintain one of them. do you have any recommendations for native flora? thank you very much for your time

Question about bird friendly native plants for Southern California...

For reference here's the original post:

And here are some resources for helping out wildlife in your own space with California Native Plants:

Pollinator Plants for California: 17-045_02_XercesSoc_Pollinator-Plants_California_web-3page.pdf

A list from Better Homes & Gardens: 15 Top Native Plants of Southern California (bhg.com)

Resources from the California Native Plant Society: Getting Started - California Native Plant Society (cnps.org)

From an Orange County Register article:

"Bird-friendly plants include California coffeeberry, a shrub with dark, red berries this time of year; California wild grapes that yield small, edible clusters in the fall, and toyon, also known as Christmas berry or California holly, with bright, red berries that generally ripen by mid-December.

Tree of Life Nursery recommends other natives for songbirds including manzanita, fourwing saltbush, coyote brush, barberry, California lilac, buckwheat, brittlebush, chaparral honeysuckle, laurel sumac, hollyleaf cherry, oak trees, lemonade berry, currants, gooseberries, wild rose, wild blackberry, and elderberry..."

Good luck!

Garden update!!!

YEAH BABEY I GOT (at least) THREE NATIVE PASSIONFRUIT IN MY YARD!!! ILOVE NATIVE PLANTS!! (Really interesting side note, it’s amazing how quickly you can pick out certain plants after studying them- the yard is a bit overgrown so I was actually surprised how I managed to see them!)

I also have a wing leaf sumac growing as well! I might have to make sumac lemonade :)

My fig tree is starting to leaf out, I thought I killed it over the winter so yay!

And!! Only one of my blueberry bushes flowered but it is producing blueberries! Just a handful but it’s only the second year I’ve had the plant so!!! I can’t wait for the future harvests!!

I planted out my biggest tomato seedlings! The other ones need to grow a bit more to be planted :)

And I don’t know if I mentioned it but I got a Catawba rhododendron! I love the flowers and so do native pollinators! (Peep the poison oak in the background yuck)

#garden update #gardening #I gardened during the eclipse :)

some of my favorite spreads from my field journaling frenzy over the past day. the members of the anacardiacea family we covered in this field course, and then schists (favorite rock from this course) and some plutons.

[I.D. Two photos of spreads of a field journal. The first has common names, latin names, drawings, and barely legible notes for Laurel Sumac, Lemonade Berry, Sugar Bush, and Pacific Poison Oak. The second has a page on schists, partially covered by a diagram, with another underneath it. The other page is on La Posta and Cibbett Flat plutons, with a map in the top left corner, a diagram in the center, and a doodle of a cat in the corner of the page. End I.D.]

#it speaks #my art #i assigned myself this journal btw the profs for this class did not request this #they are not expecting this #im going to hand it in and they're gonna go ''ANOTHER ONE???? REALLY???'' #field journal

Just a couple of great (Eastern) North American native seasonings, which sadly usually get completely ignored outside Native culinary traditions. You've got essentially a different species of Sichuan/sansho pepper, and "Appalachian allspice" which especially deserves more attention.

As discussed here, the young twigs and leaves are also good in teas. Usually to add a nice flavor in with other herbs. You could do worse than to try it with mint or rosehips. Also good to throw some into sumac "lemonade".

Also often combined with native bay leaves to season meats and stews!

(I am honestly not sure what species of bay leaves grow where I'm from, only what it looks like. Not finding much info right now, on the fly. The level of biodiversity can actually complicate things sometimes!)

Another useful Eastern North American plant, which can unfortunately be trickier to grow than any of the shrubby ones above if you don't have good access to the wild stuff:

As mentioned, that also combines great with the spicebush berries. Usually in sweet dishes, but I don't see why it wouldn't work well in savory recipes too. They're suggesting the combo in seasoning rubs. It would probably work well with sumac for that. Throw in some bay leaf and possibly some Sichuan pepper-alike, and you're set! 😁

Oh apparently you can make a drink that tastes similar to pink lemonade out of staghorn sumac. I want to try so bad. I'm gonna be SUCH a menace to the campus plants when I get back. Sowwy.

Plants I learned have edible parts

- White Oak acorns (can be eaten raw or boiled)

- Staghorn Sumac Berries (didnt know those red cones where clusters of berries until yesterday, makes good tea)

- Pinecones (can be made into a syrup)

- Grape Hyacinths (the flowers and buds can be used to make purple lemonade!! thank you miss alexis of blackforager)

- Yellow Birch (makes syrup like maple syrup)

- Sweet Crabapple (makes good jelly)

will make a more detailed post about my regions native plants later, i need to research more

yesterday I tried omnivore in Montreal for the first time, it was good!

Besides dissociating for a while before going, I had a fun time the restaurant was empty around 5:30 on a Monday, the interior design was nice but a little boring compared to how maximalist the outside sign of the restaurant was like.

I liked their hummus alez and their crispy spicy potatoes, both very good both hard to fuck up and they didn't!

For a main I got their chicken sandwich with the pineapple chutney, I feel as though it was missing a component that would've brought everything together, the pita was nice the chutney was fun but the chicken itself felt like it was missing.

one thing I noticed was that the pita for the sandwich and the pita for the hummus side seemed different obviously one was toasted and the other wasn't, but they both felt like two different versions of store bought pitas which was weird! neither was bad, but coming off of my experience at Sumac in St Henri anything besides a homemade pita at that price feels off.

I also had the house lemonade, which was ok I don't think it was exactly for me as was missing some sugar but I still really enjoyed it.

Overall I think this is a spot with a lot of ambition to be a step-up version of Boustan's in the nicest way possible. I love Boustan's, but Omnivore falls inbetween something like Sumac or Falafel Yoni, with smaller menus but more precise execution.

I think Omnivore needs a breath of fresh air, bring those cooks closer to the window!! they're so far away. let them see the light and hopefully there will be a little more light in the food as well!

#hi kathryn #food review #omnivore #Montréal #Montréal food #oh boy oh man #i think i couldve worded somethings better but i just wrote this to avoid taking a shower #i love my boyfriend #hes so nice we went there together he says this about omnivore “i really liked the hummus!” and his drink was “underwhelming #too much cucumber not enough juice #it was like a half cucumber in that drink tho #kinda crazy
