It is good to have some Vegan meals among our meaty meals sometimes. today i've made my lunch with fresh beetroot and lentils, plus some olives and a piece of homemade malted bread, oh and a half glass of causal but good 'vino rosso' from Frescobaldi, why not? today is sunday, come on!
the plate is a bit messy coz i forgot to take photos until i started chewing for a few bites already. anyway, i still love the colour, it brings out an 'autumn' mood to me.
BTW, i prefer the fresh beetroot than the canned ones, the fresh ones are more chewy and taste much better. actually, i planed this lunch yesterday, so i boiled the beetroot yesterday night and let it cool down during the night. while we boil beetroot, we have to cook it in a whole piece, that means no peeling, no cutting before hand. we just need to wash off the dirt on the skin, that's it. otherwise, we have to deal with a horrible red color mess in our kitchen, no kidding. and eveytime when i cut the root, i do lay a piece of plastic wrap or a used clean plastic bag on the cut board and wear a plastic gloves. it's not a must but if i were you, i'll do the same. well, you will see.
Lentils is easy to deal with. the most simple way is just wash the amount of them you need, then boiled them in salted water until they are soft and then add them into anything you want, a soup, a salad etc. easy job.
one more thing i want to say: my dearest friends, please don't try to order a chinese dish "羅漢齋" for me when i say i need to have a vegan's day at the dinner table. sorry, my friend, that thing is the most horrible dish in the chinese veggi's world. for god sake, who wants a dark, oily, soybean-sauce-taste-only dish? my goddness, we have a lot of good things to eat from our mother nature and they are totally fresh, colourful, tasty and healthy.
enjoy vegan's meals!
