Chickpeas Are Vegan

I was feeling a little stressed after an afternoon at the bakery thinking about all the things we need to improve and eating a handful of cherries to console myself.

And then I danced.

I love that we have a (near) complete routine to do – dancing for 2 minutes non-stop is so much fun!! But now our summer class over 🙁 At least for now. Hope Faith can teach another class soon!! I always left with my spirits lifted.

PeaburgersBlog

Tonight, Matt and I Pea-ed it out with MamaPea’s Thai Veggie Burger recipe. I saw her make this on the morning show she was featured on in Seattle and they looked like my cup of tea peas. So we got to work-

IMG_5805-2Blog

And by ‘got to work’ I mean opened a few beers while we cooked in our typical ratio: Matt 80%, me 20%. These were both blog reader gifts and both were quite delicious for their genres!

Beerz-3Blog

The burgers were GOLDEN! As in they turned golden brown and tasted amazing!! You’ll have to get Peas And Thank You the book to get the full recipe since I can’t share. The flavors were really creative too.

IMG_5814-2Blog

I made the “dough” in my Vita-mix, which worked out well. You could use a food processor too. I loved the ginger and the PEANUT BUTTER and could taste both in the final patty! They were also easy to cook in a skillet and stayed together – I used a good amount of coconut oil and let them sit until I could shake them in the pan. There’s nothing worse than a dry, falling apart bean burger and these were anything but that. Moist and doughy.

IMG_5812Blog-2

They were supposed to be topped with pineapple but Karen did the grocery shopping for the recipe and came home with a kiwi instead. I wasn’t too keen on putting kiwi and ketchup together on a burger at the same time, so I actually used some Orange-Rhubarb Marmalade instead. HIGHLY recommended!!! The marmalade was smashing.

Dinner Conversation

“Are the Peas vegan?”

“Yeah, they’re beans…”

[strange look]

[me, puzzled]

“Ohhhh…you mean the Pea Family!!! Haha, yes they are vegan.”

IMG_5815-2Blog

On the other side, we had sautéed green beans and tomatoes in coconut oil with Garlic Gold nuggets and coconut flakes. I’m totally on a coconut kick and love all tropical-savory meals!

IMG_5816-2BlogIMG_5819-2Blog

After dinner I sampled an oreo truffle that my friend Meghan brought by the bakery. Perhaps she will leave the recipe in the comments? These were outstanding!!!!!!!! The middle was oreo ganache.

IMG_5808-2Blog

I couldn’t stop at one, so I had two!

IMG_5807-2Blog

Have a wonderful night, y’all!

      Oreo truffles are a container of oreos and 8oz of cream cheese blended in a food processor!

      Chill, roll into balls and freeze. Then coat with chocolate.

      To make them vegan, use Newman O’s and Tofutti cream cheese. So tasty and easy to make!

    Oh yes, we definitely need the recipe for those truffles! I’m not vegan but love Mama Pea! Would you say that her recipes are accessible as far as ingredients, or do they call for a lot of things that someone who maybe isn’t quite as careful with their animal product intake wouldn’t have?

      Can I butt in and answer this? VERY accessible ingredients!! The only slightly hard-to-find things I have seen called for are the fake meats, like Tempeh and Sietan (sp?) and vegan cheeses. But in my home I am cooking vegetarian, not vegan, so I can literally find everything I need in my super-tiny grocery store. LOVE Mama Pea’s book. Ok, hijack over.

    Yay! Glad you liked the truffles. When my friends and I discovered these, we named them “[oreo] balls of heaven!” They are NOT healthy… but are delicious 🙂

    Recipe:
    1 package oreos (crushed – we used a food processor)
    1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
    White almond bark
    Chocolate chips or desired (meltable) topping

    Mix crushed oreos with softened cream cheese. Form into small balls and place in refrigerator for at least an hour. Melt almond bark. Use toothpicks to dip individual balls into almond bark, draining excess liquid. Place on wax paper, and allow to solidify (we refrigerated them to speed this process).

    Drizzle with melted dark chocolate chips or your choice of decoration!

    I think the Oreo truffles that you ate might be the same recipe I have, except she used white chocolate–I use semi-sweet chocolate. I absolutely love those truffles, and can eat more than one of them–this is out of character for me to eat anything sugar-y, because I do not have a sweet tooth 🙂 But I <3 those truffles!

    Huge comment ahead…

    “I loved the ginger and the PEANUT BUTTER and could taste both in the final patty!” == NICE! Lots of times things disappear, glad to hear they didnt.

    And “There’s nothing worse than a dry, falling apart bean burger and these were anything but that. Moist and doughy.”– that would be why I almost NEVER make bean burgers b/c that’s my experience OR they never get crispy enough in the oven or I char them in the oven. No happy medium. So this is great news!

    Orange-Rhubarb Marmalade = I WANT IT!! I eat TJ’s mango chutney by the jar load!! I want that marmalade. Source??!

    Oreo Truffle Balls…I make those too! I have never dipped mine in white choc though. Only dark. Will try the white.

    I’ve noticed that you, and several other bloggers, use coconut oil. Is it healthier than olive oil? or do you just like the taste? I’m just starting to get into cooking so I’m not sure about all this stuff! I love coconut so it sounds like something I’d like!
    Also, my sorority sister (and best friend from college) makes the BEST oreo truffles! I’ve missed her baking, and her cooking, since I left Charleston, SC!

    I love the addition of the cocnut flakes t the green beans… sounds like a perfect pairing with the Thai veggie burgers.

    Just curious.. what time do you usually eat dinner?? How long does it typically take you to prepare?

    Because I get out of work at 5, run after work, do errands, then get home around 7… I like to lounge around and usually don’t get around to dinner until 9!! Yikes.

    Hi Kath!
    MUST try this recipe! I seem to have recently developed a soy allergy, which is SO annoying. Now I am on the look out for *soy free* meal ideas. And when I mean soy free, I mean even the little traces of it found in commercial chocolate… yikes! Anyway, thanks again for the recipes!

    I think that pea daddy and pea kiddies are vegetarian since they eat organic cheese etc…?

    It’s almost like the “Flinstones” and the “Jetsons”!

    gah! I absolutely CANNOT wait to get Mama Pea’s cookbook! It should arrive any day now but it feels like it’s taking SO long!

    Also I totally agree with you about dancing – it really can just lift your spirits so much.

    As did your detailing of the dinner conversation up there. hahaha. I feel like I can just picture Matt’s confused face when you said that. I probably wouldn’t have realized he meant the family either and would have answered the exact same way.

    I give you credit for stopping at two of those oreo truffles – I think all three would’ve gone down for me before I even got a picture in 🙂

    We made the Thai Veggie Burgers last night and they were great!! It was my first time making veggie burgers so I think I need to work on getting them “crispier” as mine was kind of mushy… I think it is because I made the patty too thick. It was great topped with pineapple! When you blended the ingredients in your Vitamix did it not get kind of stuck? Mine did…
    I also made her blackberry and basil smoothie which was amazing 🙂 Love this cookbook

      Yeah it was hard to get out of the vita-mix and I had to use the plunger to blend it. Food processor might have worked better, but then it might have not been as smooth of a dough?

      I liked the burgers crisp on the outside and mushy on the inside

    I love oreo truffles! Only make them at Christmas though, they are too tempting. I like to use Double Stuff Oreos or the Peanut Butter or Mint kind to change up the flavoring. SO GOOD.

        Texture thing. I’ve never really had a veggie burger before though so maybe it’s just a texture that I’m not used to. My fiance tried one bite and wouldn’t eat anymore. I ate half of mine and couldn’t finish it haha.

    “Oreo truffles” sounds much more appetizing than what I’ve always heard them called – “Snowman poop.” Either way, they are delicious! When I make them, I use a tub of ready-to-eat cheesecake filling (Philadelphia) instead of cream cheese.

    This is the second blog that I’ve seen that burger made. Looks delicious!

    BTW – That IPA looks soooo good. Those are my absolute favorite. I hope you’re okay with me coveting your beer.

    How weird, I was just looking at amazon and checked out if Peas and Thank you was still available in the UK, then reassured myself that it was still there, with the thought of buying it in the near future, then went to catch up on old posts of KERF and the first one I read was this one! I think it is a sign I must go and buy the book NOW! 🙂 Those burgers look great!
