"Mulatto" Hummus

This is not a recipe post because I already posted my recipe for Black Bean Hummus. This is, simply, an addendum to that post. I call it "Mulatto" Hummus since I mix black beans and white beans (sometimes called cannellini beans). That is the only difference; I also double the other ingredients since I use double the beans. The mixed beans have such a nice, rich flavor that I'm spoiled and need to make a monster-big batch every time now. Yummy for me! Try it and give your taste buds a ride. Blessings!

Curry Lust

Curry is one of those spices/sauces ... you either LOVE it or truly dislike it. I'm a nut for the stuff. Could eat it every day! So, here's a quick curry stir fry that is delicious and open, meaning you can add or swop out numerous ingredients for any of your favorites. Feel free to experiment. Many of the best dishes began as kitchen accidents. Also remember, my measurements are not exact. If you want more garlic, go for it!

Curry Stir Fry

1 medium onion, chopped
3 T. olive oil
1/3 cup bok choy, sliced
1/3 cup celery, sliced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
small piece chopped ginger
1/3 cup broccoli florets
Dollop of soy butter
1/3 cup soy milk
Dash of red curry, 2 dashes yellow curry, small dash of cinnamon
2-3 sprays of liquid aminos
3-4 dashes each of Italian seasoning, turmeric, coriander, cilantro, and garlic powder
2 tsp. cumin
Handful of broccoli slaw, pumpkin seeds, and raw spinach
Salt to taste (very light)

Saute onion in olive oil until clear. Add bok choy, celery, garlic, ginger, and broccoli. Stir. Add soy butter, stir. Add soy milk, red curry, yellow curry, cinnamon, liquid aminos, and all other seasonings. Add broccoli slaw, pumpkin seeds, and spinach. Stir. Add just a shake or two of salt, if needed. Enjoy!
