Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

I was shocked to learn today that there are people (particularly American people) who don’t know what Macaroni and Cheese is.  In case you’ve never heard of this wonderful dish, here is a recipe for Macaroni and Cheese from Southern Living just in time for Thanksgiving. Ingredients 2 cups milk $ 2 tablespoons butter $ 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour $ 1/2 teaspoon salt $ 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper $ 1  (10-oz.) block extra sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded $ 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional) 1/2  (16-oz.) package elbow macaroni, cooked Preparation 1. WHISK FLOUR INTO BUTTER Preheat oven to 400°. Microwave milk at HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes. Melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-low heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. 2. WHISK IN WARM MILK Gradually whisk in warm milk, and cook, whisking constantly, 5 minutes or until thickened. 3. WHISK IN CHEESE Whisk in salt, black pepper, 1 cup shredded cheese, and, if desired, red pepper until smooth; stir in pasta. Spoon pasta mixture into a lightly greased 2-qt. baking dish; top with remaining cheese. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

Vegan Mushroom Gravy

I may have posted this recipe last Thanksgiving, but it’s just that good. Since going veg, I haven’t really missed meat. When it comes to Thanksgiving food, I can do without the turkey but the gravy! THE GRAVY! I just can’t help but to cover everything in it. Knowing that I could not live without it, I tracked down a veg-friendly gravy recipe. And here it is!

Ingredients

- 3/4 cups mushrooms, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
-about 1/2-1 inch of fresh ginger, finely chopped
-1/4 cup Earth Balance
-2 1/2 c vegetable broth
-2 tbsp Braggs Liquid Amnios
-1/4 cup flour
-seasonings, in order of most to least (/to taste) : sage, marjoram, white pepper, nutmeg, and parsley

Instructions:

-If you don’t have canned or cartoned vegetable broth on hand, boil 2 1/2 cups of water (or a little more to account for evaporation) and toss 1 vegetable bouin cube in there.

-In a medium sauce pan, melt the Earth Balance. Once melted, add mushrooms, onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook on a medium heat until mushrooms are tenders and onions, garlic, and ginger are translucent. The mixture should have a creamy consistency.

-Add the veg broth, Braggs Liquid Amnios, and seasoning (to taste). Stir until everything is evenly mixed.

-Turn heat to low. Gradually add flour while stir with a whisk. DO NOT STOP STIRRING. That flour will not hesitate to clump up and make your life hell.

-If the gravy is thinner than you’d like, add a little bit more flour. However, the gravy will thicken up a bit as it cools.

-Put that shit on everything and ENJOY!

(Maybe next year, a vegan and gluten-free gravy recipe. Do you already have one? Let us know!)
