Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook

Fresh Dill - Basmati Rice with Chard and Chickpeas : page 116

I'm a bit hesitant about recommending this dish. For me, it was an odd medley of flavors that, reluctantly, came together at the end. The dill, lemon, and cumin lends a fresh spring flavor and the chickpeas and garam marsala gives depth. Alone, I didn't like the dish. However, to the dismay of Isa, I loved it paired with grilled salmon.

I'll likely make this again but not anytime soon. The recipe takes over an hour, like most in this book.

Just note that if you're using brown Basmati rice, double the amount of liquid since brown rice takes much longer to cook than white.

Quinoa Salad with Black Beans and Mango : page 84

This recipe is light yet packed with tropical flavor and nutrition. Plus, it only takes about 15 minutes to make! I didn't have scallions on-hand so I substituted it with red onions and shallots, still coming out lovely.

Try it. You won't be disappointed.
