Bobotie!

Oh, look, I cooked! Last week was lazy. Crock pot chili, sandwiches, leftovers, etc. Today, though, I got back on the horse and made two new things from World Vegan Feast, Bobotie (African Vegan Meatloaf) and African Yellow Rice.

The "meat"loaf was mostly tofu, which was frozen overnight, then thawed and crumbled. The texture when I was crumbling it was WEIRD. It did not feel like food. It was cottony or something. Anyway, I crumbled it up anyway and mixed it with the other things (bread crumbs, almonds, raisins, etc.) and put it in the baking dish. After baking for a half hour, you add a custard on the top made from almond milk and cornstarch. Look how it made a little pattern after baking!



She suggested pairing it with this baked brown rice, seasoned with cinnamon and sugar and turmeric, mixed with raisins and onion and garlic. It was GOOD.



We had a simple green salad with lemon juice and olive oil on the side.



This dinner was great! World Vegan Feast is proving to be pretty awesome.
