Rhubarbecue tofu with porcini/vidalia duxelles, butternust squash and coconut mash and chipotle peanut collards in a saffron broth


Rhubarbecue tofu (rhubarb, chili, cumin, black pepper, sea salt, orange juice, agave nectar, vegan white wine, cider vinegar, garlic) with porcini/vidalia duxelles (thyme, vegan red wine, vegetable stock, evoo/flax oil).

Butternust squash and coconut mash (allspice, cardamom, nutmeg, sea salt, palm oil).

Chipotle peanut collards (garlic, vegetable stock, lemon juice, palm oil) in a light saffron broth (vegetable stock and saffron).

With a little baguette at the end, the broth didn't go to waste. Next time, I'll replace the cider vinegar and agave with molasses and white vinegar just to give the whole rhubarb a little more flavour depth.

Very nicely done! I've got some kale and I would to love to try your chipotle peanut recipe. I think some molasses would definitely give you a truer barbecue flavor.

Rhubarbecue! I love it. Sounds wonderful!

1) I can never read the first comment since your food titles are so long.
2) sounds good but where did the "que" come in, was it cooked outside or something?

Thanks, ATXVegan. The chipotle peanut sauce is barely a recipe. Maybe a teaspoon each of chipotle and palm oil and a tablespoon each of peanut butter, garlic, lemon juice. Maybe a quarter to a half cup of stock. Nothing especially fancy.

Thanks, Carrie!

DB, 1) I don't understand why blogger doesn't understand that long titles are a necessity for the narcissistic, but it's a source of annoyance for me as well and 2) the 'cue' is really more about the sauce (so, more of an adjective rather than a verb in this case). As to whether or not it's proper barbecue, I'm sure it would be hotly debated.

nice...I like verbs disguised as adjectives..vinager and sweet do make a sauce but smoke makes a barbecue.

Actually, there was some liquid smoke in the rhubarb sauce. Does that count? I'll have to add that to the list of ingredients. It often slips my mind, but I put it in almost everything.

That meal was really amazing. With some molasses in the rhubarbecue sauce it would have been absolutely perfect!!
