Split pea soup is one of those dishes you either love or hate. The split peas themselves do lend a rather distinct flavor, but for me, it's one of the most comforting, heart-warming soups during the autumn and winter months here in the Midwest.

Ah, enchiladas. I love Mexican/Latin-inspired cuisine and enchiladas have always been a favorite of mine. The crispy edges and soft interior ... plus, I love the endless possibilities for fillings; veggies, cheese, meat (if you eat it), shrimp, tofu, beans, rice, and so on. I went with a classic filling on this one but made it vegetarian by using Quorn USA "meat" crumbles. My husband - who loves a good steak - said these were delicious and wouldn't have known they were plant-based unless I'd told him.  I've been vegetarian for over a decade now, and one of my favorite things to do as a chef is take classic recipes - like Shepherd's Pie - and swap out the meat for plant-based alternatives. Despite the acceptance and push toward vegetarian and vegan diets in recent years, I think there's still an underlying misconception that flavorful, robust meals can't be achieved without meat. The good news is, that's entirely untrue -- and this comforting, filling, hearty dish is here to prove it.  |
