An Amtrak Foodie Adventure and a Portobello French Dip Recipe

I’ve lived in America 11 years and up until a few months ago I hadn’t taken a train journey in this country. I’ve been on an amazing coast to coast road trip, I’ve visited about 25 states of this great country, but I’d never been on a train.

And then Amtrak called. They wanted to send me on a foodie adventure where I’d travel on Amtrak, and dine at the best restaurants at my destination. I said yes right away. And that’s how my first American train trip happened!

Read on for an account of my Amtrak adventure, and an amazing lunch at my destination, and a killer recipe from that restaurant!

Portland to Seattle on Amtrak

Amtrak said I could pretty much travel to any destination I wanted. The decision was easy. I picked Seattle. Seattle is an easy 4 hour train ride from Portland. Perfect for a quick weekend trip. Besides, I love the food scene in Seattle, which made it the perfect choice for my little foodie train adventure.

Now, we cant visit a city as vibrant and picturesque as Seattle without some special camera equipment, can we?! I’d always wanted to try out Lens Baby lenses (a company  based right here in my wonderful hometown of Portland, OR). So I rented a few from Pro Photo Supply in Portland to take on my trip to Seattle. I got the Sweet 35, Edge 80, and Fish eye. I loved the Sweet 35 and Edge 80 and used them a lot on the trip. Really fun effects, as you can see below.









I loved my train ride. For a good part of my trip, I just sank back into my seat and watched the beautiful Pacific Northwest pass by. Then I walked around taking photos, chatting with fellow passengers and hanging out at the cafe car.

Walking around Seattle and Lunch at Cafe Flora

As I didn’t have much time in Seattle, my only agenda for the day was eat, walk around, take photos. I was up early and meandered into Biscuit Bitch at Pike Place for coffee. Their name intrigued me, and I walked in to take a look. Their biscuits and menu looked interesting, and they even had veggie sausage patties, but I didn’t eat anything there. I was saving up for my much awaited lunch.



I asked my readers on Facebook and Twitter for vegetarian friendly restaurant recommendations in Seattle. The suggestion poured in. People recommended Cafe Flora repeatedly. So I decided I’ll go there. And I’m so glad I did – the food and atmosphere were lovely. My friend and I were seated in the beautiful, airy atrium. Cafe Flora is an all vegetarian restaurant, so there was plenty of choice for us! Here’s what we had..

 Masala apple fizz

Vegetarian French dip – portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, on a seeded baguette with mushroom garlic au jus. Served with seasoned yam fries. See Cafe Flora’s recipe below.

Spinach mushroom scrambled eggs with roast potatoes

Truffle pizza

We enjoyed our lunch so much at cafe Flora, that we decided to get a pizza to go so we could snack on the train later! And the truffle pizza we ordered got its own seat on the train ride back to Portland! The other passengers were jealous, I could tell ;)



Cafe Flora’s Portobello French Dip Recipe

Adapted from Cafe Flora Cookbook

I loved the vegetarian French dip at Cafe Flora so much that I’m sharing the recipe with you. Its from the Cafe Flora Cook Book. The original recipe involves several steps; here I have simplified it a bit.

This recipe is truly brilliant – a sandwich made with buttered, griddled  rustic baguette,  roasted portobello mushrooms, sweet caramelized onions, gooey melted cheese, all served with the most amazing mushroom garlic essence or au jus for dipping. Its the best vegetarian sandwich ever.







Serves 4
Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 portobello mushrooms
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large yellow onion, halved and sliced thin
1 rustic baguette (I used 3 demi baguettes instead)
1/2 stick butter
4 slices Swiss, mozzarella or provolone cheese
1 1/3 cups mushroom essence (recipe below)

Method
1. Pre-heat oven to 350f. Mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the garlic in a bowl. Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms (save them for making the mushroom essence). Brush both sides of the portobello mushroom caps with the garlic oil mixture. Sprinkle salt and pepper.

2. Place the porobellos, gill side down, on a baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes.

3. When the mushrooms are done, let them cool a little so you can handle them. Then cut each mushroom cap into about 8 slices. Set aside.

4. While the mushrooms are baking, work on the onions. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for about 5 minutes. Turn heat down to low, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally till the onions are soft, brown and sweet. About 15 minutes. If the onions stick or burn while cooking, sprinkle a little water on them.

5. Cut the baguette into 4 equal portions. Slice each portion lengthwise in half, so you can make a sandwich. No you’ll have 8 pieces. Spread butter on all baguette slices.

6. Heat a large skillet, and place the baguette slices, buttered and cut side facing down. Griddle the bread till the buttered sides turn golden.

7. Now take 4 of the griddled bread slices, and place them on a baking tray, cut side facing up. Top each slice with one fourths of the portobello mushrooms, one fourths of the caramelized onions, and one slice cheese. Repeat for remaining 3 baguette slices. Bake in a 350f oven till the cheese melts. Top with the remaining 4 baguette slices. Bake for another 2 minutes.

8. Serve the sandwich with warm mushroom essence for dipping (recipe below)

Mushroom Essence Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 pound whole crimini mushrooms, stems on
6 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
2 tablespoons tamari

Method
1. Place the mushrooms and garlic, along with 6 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Then lower heat and cook on a low boil, till the liquid has reduced to about 2 cups. This will take about 45 minutes.

2. Strain the liquid, and add the tamari. Can be refrigerated or frozen.

Bread Upma Recipe

I’m very bad. I get midnight cravings for bread upma – a spiced, stir fried bread dish. Its very easy to make and there is always bread lying around that needs to be used up. So I can tip toe into the kitchen at midnight and quickly whip up this snack without waking up the husband (because I dont want to share my bread upma!).

Use white or brown bread. And if its slightly stale, thats fine too. This recipe is a great way to use up left over bread. If you find the upma is too dry (older breads will be drier), just sprinkle some water and toss to soften it.

Bread Upma Recipe

serves about 4 as a snack 

Ingredients
10 slices of bread, white or brown
4 tablespoons oil
1/4 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/2 cup minced onion (1 small onion)
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger, optional
1 green chili, minced
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon, or according to taste red chili powder
1 tomato deseeded and chopped
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro for garnish

Method
1. Cut off the crust of the bread. Discard the crust or save for making bread crumbs. This is optional, you can leave the crust on if you like. Cut the bread into cubes.

2. Heat oil in a large wok. Add the mustard seeds. When they pop, add the onion, ginger and green chili. Saute on medium heat till the onion is translucent.

3. Then add the turmeric and red chili powders. Stir for a few seconds.

4. Add in the bread cubes, tomato, lime juice and salt.

5. Stir gently till everything is evenly combined and the bread has absorbed all the spices and turned yellow. About 4 minutes,

6. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Tofu Skin Roulade with Sage Mushroom Stuffing. A Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipe

I wanted to come up with a vegetarian thanksgiving recipe this year that can be a beautiful centerpiece on the vegetarian thanksgiving table. Just because you are vegetarian doesnt mean you are doomed to eat a bunch of sides (or tofurky..ugh!) on thanksgiving day. Make this tofu skin roulade with sage mushroom stuffing a day ahead and reheat it by steaming it for 10 minutes or so.

The tofu skin forms a golden exterior with great texture, and the stuffing inside is moist and mushroomy. Your very own, home made vegetarian tofurky for thanksgiving!

You will generally find tofu skin in Chinese restaurants, it is usually braised or stewed in a sauce.

Tofu skin, also called beancurd skin or yuba is the skin that forms when simmering a pot of soy milk. It comes dried or frozen and is available in Asian stores. If using dried tofu skin or yuba, reconstitute it in hot water. If using frozen, simply defrost it for this recipe.

Tofu skin may look delicate, but it actually holds up very well to stuffing, rolling and steaming (which is what this recipe involves). If you cant find tofu skin or yuba, try making this recipe with seitan. See this recipe from the vegetarian times for seitan roulade or this recipe by vegan yumyum

Serve this tofu skin roulade with sage mushroom stuffing, along with my red wine gravy, kale and goats cheese mashed sweet potato (recipe coming up next!), and steamed green beans or brussels sprouts.

Tofu Skin Roulade with Sage Mushroom Stuffing

serves 2-3, with some left over stuffing to serve on the side.

Ingredients
three 9×12 inch sheets of dried or frozen tofu skin, also called yuba
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced carrots
1/4 cup diced celery
6 large button mushrooms, chopped
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
2 sprigs of thyme
1/4 cup vegetable stock
1 cup store bought stuffing. I like pepperidge farm.

Method
If using frozen tofu skin or yuba, let it defrost before using. If you are using dried tofu skin or yuba, boil a large pot of water, turn off the heat, and put the tofu skins in the water. Let them soak for 15 minutes. Then gently pull them out of the water, letting all the excess water drip away.

Lightly oil a clean work surface, so that the tofu skins dont stick.

Lay 3 sheets of tofu skin, one on top of the other, so that their longest side is closest to you. If the tofu skins tear a little, dont worry, just patch them up.

Now work on the stuffing.

Heat butter in a skillet, add onion, carrot and celery and cook on medium heat till the onions are soft. Then add mushrooms, saute till the mushrooms are cooked, about 3 minutes. Add the sage and thyme, stir.

Add the stock and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, and stir in stuffing. Toss everything till the stuffing is mixed well, and absorbs all the stock.

Now put the stuffing on the tofu skin layers, leaving a 1/2 inch border (see photo above). You dont have to use all the stuffing if it doesnt fit. Its ok if the stuffing is a little dry, it will moisten up when you steam the roulade.

Gently fold over the right and left sides of the tofu skins. Then pick up the longer side closest to you, and roll away from you. Keep the right and left sides tucked in as you roll away from you. Roll gently but firmly.

Place the roulade on a sheet of aluminum foil. wrap the foil around the roulade to make a log. Twist the ends closed. Repeat this with a second layer of foil.

Now the roulade is ready to steam.

Heat water in a large pot. Place a colander over the pot. Its brim must fit over the pot, but make sure the bottom of the colander doesnt touch the water.

Steaming method 1 – Put the roulade log into the colander, and cover with a lid. Bring the water to a boil, and steam on medium high heat for 1 hour or till the tofu skin is soft. Add more water to the pot as and when necessary.

Steaming method 2 - steam the roulade in a bamboo steamer. Steam till the tofu ski is tender, about 1 hour.

Steaming method 3 – this is what I used. take a skillet large enough to hold the roulade, pour 1/2 to 1 cup water in it. Bring to a boil. Place the roulade in the skillet. Cover it. Reduce heat to medium-high, and let the roulade steam, adding more water as it evaporates. Steam till the tofu skin is tender and no longer rubbery, about 1 hour.

When the roulade has steamed, removed it from the colander, and let it cool a little.

Then removed the foil wrapping.

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter in a non stick skillet. Carefully place the roulade on the skillet and sear all sides of the roulade till they are lightly golden.

Serve with red wine gravy, and kale and goats cheese mashed sweet potatoes.

Red Wine Gravy

serves about 4

Ingredients
1 cup red wine
1 cup vegetable stock
1 tablespoon flour
1 sprig of thyme, optional
1 tablespoon butter
Salt, pepper

Method
Whisk the wine, stock and flour together. Make sure there are no lumps. Add the thyme sprig. Pour into a sauce pan and simmer till the sauce has reduced to half its original volume. Whisk in the butter, salt and pepper. Strain and serve with tofu skin roulade.

Paneer Paratha Recipe – a step by step

I am vacationing in India right now and enjoying some fabulous home cooked food. Every time I visit India, I ask my mother’s friend Veena aunty to teach me her amazing recipes. Veena aunty has such a love for cooking, you can taste the passion in her food. This time she showed me how to make her paneer paratha recipe. Paneer parathas are Indian flat bread stuffed with cottage cheese. You wont be disappointed with this paneer paratha recipe!

Paneer Paratha Recipe (Cottage Cheese Stuffed Flat bread)

makes 6-8 parathas

for the paratha dough

Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
1/3 cup all purpose flour (maida)
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup water (you may not need all of it)

Method

1. Combine the wheat flour, all purpose flour, salt and oil in a large bowl

2. Sprinkle a little water at a time till the dough binds together

3. Knead the dough, sprinkling water, until it forms a soft, elastic ball

4. Make sure the dough isn’t too wet. If it gets too wet or sticky, add more flour

5. Knead the dough till it is smooth and elastic (think pizza dough)

6. Drizzle a few drops of oil over the dough ball, and spread it all over the surface

7. Cover the dough with a damp towel

8. Let it rest for 15 minutes. In the meanwhile, make the paneer filling

for the paneer filling

Ingredients
7 oz paneer, finely grated (about 1 1/2 cups when grated)
1 small onion, minced
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, optional
1 green chili finely chopped or according to taste
salt

Method

1. Combine all paneer filling ingredients in a bowl

2. Taste the filling and adjust salt and seasonings if needed. If you like it spicier, you can add more minced chilis or garam masala at this point

Make the paneer parathas

1. Keep a small bowl of wheat flour near you

2. Remove the dough from the bowl, and knead it a few times

3. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. If you don’t have much experience making parathas, divide the dough into 8 parts, so each paratha is smaller, and therefore easier to make.

4. Take one piece of the divided dough and form it into a ball

5. Dip the dough ball in wheat flour

6. Place it on a clean, flat surface for rolling

7. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a round using a light touch

8. Turn the paratha 1/4ths of a turn each time you roll it. This will keep it round.

9. Sprinkle a little flour as and when needed.

10. When the paratha is thin and even (see picture above), stop rolling, and spread 6 drops of oil

11. Sprinkle a little flour on the oiled side, dust off the excess flour

12. Place 2 tablespoons of the paneer filling in the center

13. Gather the edges of the paratha and bring them up, and pleat them over the filling, to form a parcel. If you feel the parcel can hold more paneer filling, add a little more now

14. Pinch the top to seal the paratha

15. Dip it in flour, flatten it a little, and gently roll it using a rolling pin

16. Roll gently till the paratha is about 1/4 inch thick

17. Heat a tava, or cast iron skillet on medium heat

18. Place the paratha on the skillet. Cook on medium heat till pale brown spots appear on the under side

19. Then flip the paratha and let pale brown spots appear on the other side

20. Then increase heat to medium-high and drizzle about 1/4th teaspoon of vegetable oil (you can use less oil or oil spray)

21. Cook paratha on both sides till the dough is cooked and lightly browned (but not too dark)

Serve paneer parathas with yogurt or my grandmother’s multi colored raita and my apple pickle.

Paratha making tips

- add enough water to the dough so that it is soft (but not sticky)

- sprinkle wateron the flour a little at a time, this way you are more in control of the final result

- a hard dough will make your parathas stiff

- when kneading, aim for a soft, smooth, elastic dough that is not sticky

- it important to cover and rest the paratha dough for atleast 15 minutes before rolling

- when rolling parathas use a gentle touch

- make sure you chop the filling ingredients very fine. For paneer parathas, the paneer must be grated finely, and the onions and cilantro must be minced. For aloo parathas, the potato must be mashed with no lumps. If you leave large pieces in your filling, it will tear the dough when you are rolling out the parathas.

- when stuffing parathas, you need to use about equal amounts of dough and filling. So if you are using a lime size ball of dough, use about a lime sized mound of filling. However, if you are new to paratha making, lesser amounts of filling may be easier to deal with it, but you will compromise on taste.

- the more you practice making parathas, the better you will get!

Cucumber Cream Cheese and Cilantro-Mint Chutney Sandwich Recipe

When the weather is nice, we will pack ourselves some sandwiches and lemonade and have a little picnic in our back yard. These cucumber, cream cheese, cilantro-mint chutney sandwiches are our favorite. I’ve made these for several picnics and I really dont know anyone who doesnt like them.

We used to get these sandwiches in India – white bread spread with a little butter, cilantro mint green chutney, and cucumber slices. It is India’s version of English tea sandwiches. I like to use cream cheese in this sandwich recipe; it goes great with the cucumbers and chutney.

Cucumber Cream Cheese and Cilantro-Mint Chutney

Sandwich Recipe

Makes 4 whole or 8 half sandwiches

½ an English seedless cucumber (the one with the plastic wrap)
8 slices of white or soft wheat bread
8 tablespoons cream cheese at room temperature, I used the low fat kind.
½ cup cilantro mint chutney. Recipe below.
Salt

Cut the cucumber into thin rounds.

Take 2 slices of bread. Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese on one slice. Spread 1 teaspoon (or more if you like) chutney over the cream cheese. Arrange 4-5 slices of cucumber on top. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt over the cucumbers.

Spread one tablespoon cream cheese and then one teaspoon cilantro mint chutney on the other slice of bread. Place this on top of the cucumbers, to make a sandwich. Repeat for all bread slices.

Spreading the cream cheese first, and then the chutney will prevent the chutney from soaking through the bread. Serve immediately.

Cilantro Mint Chutney Recipe
Makes about 1/2 cup, enough for 4-6 sandwiches

1 cup cilantro leaves, tightly packed
1/2 cup mint leaves, tightly packed
1/2 fresh green chili or Thai hot pepper, chopped*
1/8 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt
2 tablespoons water

*This makes a spicy hot chutney. Use less chili or leave it out if you don’t want it spicy.

Place all ingredients in a food processor and process into a smooth sauce, scraping down the sides of the food processor now and then.

If you are using a blender, you may need to use a little more water. Store the chutney in an air tight container in the fridge.

South African Bunny Chow – my vegetarian version with Chickpeas

South African cuisine is a titillating mix of Indian, British, Malay, Portuguese and Indonesian food. Every group of settlers has left its own mark on the country’s cuisine. Bunny Chow, also called ‘bunny’ is one of the Indian community’s contributions to South African cuisine. Indian immigrant laborers are credited with inventing this dish nearly 200 years ago. They used hollowed out loaves of bread to put their curries in – an easy way to transport their curries while working in sugar cane plantations. The concept of bunny chow is not unlike India’s own pav bhaji – bread eaten with curried vegetables.

Camps Bay in Cape Town

When I first heard about Bunny Chow from a taxi driver in Cape Town, I was intrigued. But this African street food is usually made with meat, and I couldn’t find a vegetarian version while I was in South Africa (I should have searched harder because the original bunny chow was vegetarian!). I was disappointed to say the least. When Meeta announced South Africa as the theme for her monthly mingle, I jumped at the opportunity to make a vegetarian bunny chow.

I used chickpeas as the filling. I also decided to go with a more elegant presentation and used mini ciabatta rolls, instead of the traditional white bread loaf. The mini rolls worked well, they looked cute, were easy to eat and reminded me of panera style bread bowls! The bread ‘bowls’ soaked up all the curry and got finger licking good!

If you dont want to bother hollowing out bread or dont want use as much bread, you could serve the chickpea filling on top of slices of crusty bread – tapas style! But ofcourse, it wont be bunny chow anymore ;)

South African Bunny Chow with Chickpeas Recipe

makes about 6 mini bunnies

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon garlic paste
1 tablespoon ginger paste
1 carrot, diced (1/2 cups when diced)
1 small green pepper, diced (1/2 cup when diced)
1 large tomato, diced
1 tablespoon curry powder ( may need more or less depending on the brand)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric, optional
1/2 teaspoon paprika, optional
1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1-2 cups water
1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
salt
cilantro for garnish

6 mini ciabatta or other bread rolls (or 1-2 regular sized loaves of white or crusty bread)

Heat oil in a pan. Add chopped onions and cook on medium heat till the onions are brown. Then add ginger and garlic paste and saute 30 seconds. Add carrot, green pepper, and tomato and cook till the vegetables are soft. Now add salt, curry powder, turmeric and paprika if using, cook 1 minute on medium-high heat.  Add chickpeas, tomato paste, 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Stir to make sure tomato paste has dissolved. Boil for about 2 minutes. Add more water if the curry it too thick. Turn off heat. Taste,and add lemon juice according to taste.

Cut the tops off the mini bread rolls and gently scoop out the bread inside. Fill the bread ‘bowls’ with the chickpea filling. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve along with the scooped out bread for dipping.

If using larger sized loaves of bread, halve or quarter (depending on the size) the bread loaf. Scoop out the bread to form a bread bowl. Fill with chickpea filling. Be careful not to scoop out too much bread, your filling might leak out!

Double Layer Summer Vegetable Sandwich with Hummus and Pesto

 double-layer-summer-vegetable-sandwich-with-hummus-and-pesto

 This is an easy sandwich for a sweltering hot day, when you don’t feel like turning on your stove. With all the raw summer vegetables and brown bread, this sandwich is healthy too. Its a double layered sandwich, so its quite filling. I love the combination of creamy hummus and the basil pesto in this sandwich.

basket-of-garden-vegetables

 You’ll need a carrot, some baby radish, cucumber and tomatoes. All you have to do with the vegetables is slice them thin and toss them in olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Store bought hummus (I used Tribe 40 spice hummus) and pesto act as sandwich spreads. Use whatever bread you like. I prefer soft brown bread slices or pita pockets for this.

See my new flexible chopping mat  from Bed Bath and Beyond in the pictures below? I recently bought two of these and  I love them! They’re great if you are cutting a small amount of stuff. They’re flexible, take up no space at all and the best part is, you can throw them in the dish washer! 

hummus-and-veggies-on-sandwich

 You’ll need 3 slices instead of the usual 2 slices of bread. Start with the first slice. Spread some hummus on it. Then pile on the chopped carrots, cucumber and radish. I like to load the sandwich with lots of veggies!

place-second-slice-of-bread-on-top

 Put a little more hummus on the second slice of bread and place it over the veggies, hummus side down. Then spread some pesto on top of the second bread slice. See where I’m going with this?!

assemble-tomatoes-and-third-bread-slice

 Now come the tomatoes. Place them on top of the sandwich. Spread more pesto on the third slice of bread and top the tomatoes with it. I like to put the tomatoes on the top layer of the sandwich and spread pesto on the top slice of bread. The science behind that is that tomatoes taste great with pesto. Just like how I think the vegetables taste great with hummus. So each sandwich layer is assigned its own vegetable-spread pairing!

double-layer-summer-vegetable-sandwich

 Press down on the sandwich gently to compact everything. Then cut it in half. This sandwich will get soggy on you if you let it sitting around. So serve it immediately.

Double Layer Summer Vegetable Sandwich with Hummus and Pesto Recipe
makes 3 sandwiches (or 6 if you slice each in half)

9 slices of bread
1 small carrot
4 baby radishes
1/2 an English cucumber
1 small tomato
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
about 5 tbsp store bought Hummus or enough to spread on the bread slices
about 4 tbsp store bought Pesto or enough to spread on the bread slices
Salt and Pepper
Slice the carrot, radishes, and cucumber into thin slices. You should have about 2 cups (loosely packed) of chopped vegetables in total; chop less if you want fewer veggies in your sandwich. Combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and set aside. Slice the tomato into rounds.

Place one slice of bread on a work surface. Spread about 1 tbsp hummus on it. Arrange the vegetable slices on top. Spread a little more (about 1/2 tbsp) hummus on the second slice of bread and place it hummus side down on the vegetables. Spread about 3/4 tbsp pesto on the second slice of bread. Place tomato slices on top. Spread a little more pesto on a third slice of bread and place it pesto side down on top of the tomatoes.
