Roasted asparagus with sea salt and nutritional yeast; ratatouille with beluga lentils and chipotle over brown rice;

Roasted asparagus with sea salt and nutritional yeast (with a little evoo/flax oil).

Ratatouille with beluga lentils and chipotle (zucchini, eggplant, tomato paste, green peppers, vegetable stock, vegan white wine, garlic, nutritional yeast) over brown rice herb pilaf (vegetable stock, herbs de Provence).

I'm tempted to dub this main: ratachili. Was it spicy ratatouille with lentils or was it really chili with zucchini and eggplant?

Dinner 5 April 2007. I had company for dinner and some vegetables that I wanted to get rid of (so, I went for a full five courses):

• Vegan cream of asparagus soup (asparagus, soy milk, sea salt, orange juice, black pepper);
• Sweet potato and portabello mushroom milles feuilles with chipotle and lemon catsup (sea salt, tomato paste, lemon juice, chipotle, sunflower oil, garlic, stevia) with basil and oregano;
• Salad of roasted fennel, clementines, green pepper and walnuts dressed with citrus and oil (clementine juice and zest, minced fennel fronds, sea salt and sunflower oil);
• Ratatouille with cannelini beans (garlic, onion, green pepper, grilled eggplant and zucchini, tomatoes, cannelini beans, brown rice, sea salt, basil, oregano, thyme) garnished with walnuts;
  
• Strawberry sorbet (frozen stawberries, stevia and soymilk)
• And finally, espresso and cognac.

The wine was Eyrie's Pinot Noir.
