VeganMoFo: Iron Chef #2.

Sorry this is so late, my uterus took me prisoner and forced me to watch Firefly and eat tater tots all day.  It was miserable.

We had a lot of desserts this time, and I can’t tell you how hard it is to look at all of these pictures when all I want to do is fall face first into a chocolate cake.

All of the bases were covered.  We had strudel, muffins, caramel sauce (holy crap), more caramel, sandies, pancakes, cheesecake, a galette, dessert pizza, baked pears, mini-pies, and more muffins.  I hate you all for torturing me, you inconsiderate jerks!

On the savory side we have a pear and hazelnut feta salad, stuffed squash, and stuffing.

There are two honorable mentions.  First, Jenn because she didn’t make just one dish, she made a complete dinner from drink to dessert.  Second, A-K for making this amazing looking raw dessert.  Not only does it sound good, but the pictures are amazing.

As for what I made, it’s not pretty but it was good!  I spent the day playing Rock Band and got home starving, so I threw this together pretty quickly.  I grilled my pears (which you should do, because holy crap is that good).  I made my sauce with almond butter, soy sauce, ginger sauteed in hot chile oil, and coconut milk.  I threw in some fried tofu and eggplant for good measure and then sprinkled almond meal on top.  In hindsight I should’ve added more color.
