Spinach salad with artichokes, raisins and red peppers; chick pea and pepita veggie burger with sweet potato mash


Spinach salad with artichokes, raisins and red peppers (lemon juice, black pepper, nutritional yeast, sea salt, liquid smoke).

Chick pea and pepita veggie burger (chick peas, pepitas, yellow split peas, allspice, five-spice powder, onion powder, cumin, garlic, vegetable stock), with artichoke/macadamia cheese (garlic, cilantro, sea salt, nutritional yeast) on a whole wheat beer bun (whole wheat flour, Heineken, sea salt, baking powder, evoo/flax oil).

Sweet potato mash with cilantro and chipotle (garlic, evoo/flax oil, sea salt).

The photo doesn't really capture it, but the burger was simply massive. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to eat it all. Against all reason and decorum, I decided to make a vegan version of the American superburger thing.

That big burger is funny. And so's your description.

The sweet potato mash looks yummy. I never thought to add cilantro to sweet potatoes but I'll bet it tastes awesome! Thanks for the idea!

Thanks, Elaine.

Thanks, Carrie. I liked it in combination. Similar colour for a nice white look, good flavour, etc.

Thanks, Vegan_Noodle. I thought it went together pretty well, and I'm not overly fond of cilantro!

I'm trying to think of something witty or intelligent to add to the conversation, but all I can think of is OH YUMMY! You are an inspiration to vegetarian improv chefs everywhere. :)
