...the Man loves Green Goddess dressing (it's not vegan...but I remember it from the 70s)...it's sometimes difficult to find...and he got to searching for a recipe to make some...
...he found the
original recipe here...
...I was mainly concerned with replacing the anchovies...
...but came up with this substitution...for something with the right texture that would be salty and 'fishy'...
...this is the bag of TVP chunks that Mom got for me at the SDA store near her home...I keep it in the freezer...
...at the bottom of the bag are little bits...almost like the TVP burger...but more like slivers...and more the texture I was looking for...a little bit flat and slippery...
...so I added some Nori granules and poured on some boiling water...
...let it sit a few minutes...
...and you have 'anchovies'...
...We tossed that in the food processor...
...with the tarragon, chives, green onion and parsley...
...added some tarragon vinegar...
...then a bunch of Vegenaise...3 cups...
...stirred it all up...
...the Man decided that a whisk was the proper tool...
...let everything meld in the fridge for a couple of hours...
...and then we had Green Goddess Dressing...it wasn't bright green like the bottled kind...maybe we should have put it through the blender...part of it anyway...
VEGAN ORIGINAL GREEN GODDESS DRESSING
Makes 4 generous cups
Ingredients:
1/4 cup TVP granules reconstituted with 1/2 tsp Nori Granules for the 8 to 10 anchovy fillets
1 green onion
1/4 cup minced parsley
2 tablespoons minced tarragon
3 cups Vegenaise for the prepared mayonnaise
1/2 cup tarragon vinegar
1/2 cup finely snipped chives
-- Romaine
-- Escarole
-- Chicory
2 peeled garlic cloves, smashed
Original Instructions: Mince TVP with green onion; transfer to a bowl. Add parsley, tarragon, mayonnaise, tarragon vinegar and chives; mix well. The dressing can be made ahead.
...but I put all of the greens along with the TVP in the food processor and pulsed a few times to chop everything up nicely...
Just before serving, clean and cut romaine, escarole and chicory into bite-size pieces. Rub a wooden bowl with the garlic cloves, then add greens and toss with enough dressing to coat.
~Have a lovely day!
Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat does look yummy - I wonder if capers would add a fishy like flavor? I've always thought they were fishy. Love k
