It's been a while since I made any, and this turned out great! Not too spicy, but just enough heat for me. ]]> http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2011/02/24/dias-famous-chili-totally-vegan/feed/ 2 http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2010/01/07/veganrisotto/ http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2010/01/07/veganrisotto/#comments Thu, 07 Jan 2010 19:45:55 +0000 Administrator http://diadesigns.com/blog12/?p=637 If you are like me, you are constantly trying to veganize dishes you remember from your pre-vegan life. I for one have been obsessing on how to make the perfect vegan mozzarella. I'm pleased to say I've finally cracked the code, and managed to make a ball of vegan mozzarella, and I will be sharing that recipe with you soon. While obsessing on things like that, I forgot that the best part of being vegan is staring right in front of me-All the wonderful fruit and veg I get every week. So, today it's back to basics with this very simple spicy risotto. If you've never made risotto before, this is a good starter recipe, and then as you get more confident, you can add whatever you like to it. ]]> http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2010/01/07/veganrisotto/feed/ 8 http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/08/19/fresh-sweetcorn-and-chili-soup/ http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/08/19/fresh-sweetcorn-and-chili-soup/#comments Wed, 19 Aug 2009 23:25:26 +0000 Administrator http://diadesigns.com/blog12/?p=478 http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/08/19/fresh-sweetcorn-and-chili-soup/feed/ 13 http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/07/30/thai-sweetcorn-cakes-gluten-free-and-vegan/ http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/07/30/thai-sweetcorn-cakes-gluten-free-and-vegan/#comments Thu, 30 Jul 2009 18:46:40 +0000 Administrator http://diadesigns.com/blog12/?p=466 When I got home from my trip, the first thing I made was Thai Sweetcorn cakes, the way they should taste in my opinion. And they finally satisfied that 3 day long craving of hot chili with the sweetness of the corn. ]]> http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/07/30/thai-sweetcorn-cakes-gluten-free-and-vegan/feed/ 24 http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/06/16/dias-noodle-soup/ http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/06/16/dias-noodle-soup/#comments Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:54:32 +0000 Administrator http://diadesigns.com/blog12/?p=392 Even in nice weather, people get unwell. There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of noodle soup. Many have come to associate noodle soup with chicken, but as someone who does not eat meat I had to improvise. ]]> http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/06/16/dias-noodle-soup/feed/ 14 http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/05/29/rolled-aubergine-eggplant-dolma/ http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/05/29/rolled-aubergine-eggplant-dolma/#comments Fri, 29 May 2009 17:31:33 +0000 Administrator http://diadesigns.com/blog12/?p=268 I have been wanting to make Dolma for a while now, it is an Eastern European way of hollowing and stuffing vegetables which have the typical appearance of looking rolled. Most cooks will stuff their chosen vegetable with cheese and meat, or cheese and fish. I decided to stuff mine with Orzo, a rice shaped pasta, sweet peppers, chili peppers, tomatoes, garlic and onions. Why not just use rice instead? Orzo has the most delicious flavor, that even the finest risotto rice cannot duplicate. I use this a lot in my pasta dishes and soups. Be sure to try it some time!]]> http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/05/29/rolled-aubergine-eggplant-dolma/feed/ 5 http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/01/10/dias-paella-pie/ http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/01/10/dias-paella-pie/#comments Sat, 10 Jan 2009 02:01:17 +0000 Administrator http://diadesigns.com/blog12/?p=126 Nothing is better to come home to on a cold winter's day than a nice warm dish of paella. In this recipe I have mixed it up a bit by turning it into a pastry less pie. I have also used Spanish ceramic dishes that are good for individually sized portions.]]> http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/01/10/dias-paella-pie/feed/ 3 http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/01/03/veggie-fresine/ http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/01/03/veggie-fresine/#comments Sat, 03 Jan 2009 19:44:45 +0000 Administrator http://diadesigns.com/blog12/?p=84 Here is another wonderful and tasty vegetarian meal that I made up one night with left over ingredients. I now make this often, sometimes substituting the fresine for spaghetti, but it still tastes just the same. You can even add aubergines and zucchini to the mix because this recipe is so versatile. ]]> http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2009/01/03/veggie-fresine/feed/ 0 http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2008/12/28/baby-corn-and-chili-stir-fry/ http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2008/12/28/baby-corn-and-chili-stir-fry/#comments Sun, 28 Dec 2008 19:03:07 +0000 Administrator http://muffinmania.wordpress.com/?p=36 http://diadesigns.com/blog12/2008/12/28/baby-corn-and-chili-stir-fry/feed/ 4
