Some Soothing Meals
Years ago, way back when I lived in PA., I came across a recipe for a sunflower seed "tuna" salad. It used raw, unsalted sunflower seeds that you soaked overnight. Then, you pulsed them in a food processor to kind of shred them so they resembled tuna. I remember loving it, and I was shocked that sunflower seeds could be used this way. I tried to find that exact recipe, and I couldn't so I kind of just made my own recipe.
I just used the usual no tuna salad ingredients. Vegan mayo, red onion, pickle, salt and pepper and also a little old bay.
I've been enjoying the salad on lightly toasted gluten free bread with clover sprouts. So tasty!
I was feeling a little blah the day after my road trip from all the snacks and junky food. I knew I wanted lentils for dinner, so I made a curry, peanut-y lentil and soy curl stew. So satisfying and very soothing on my stomach.

Last night I had to have baked tofu with some romaine, rice and spicy peanut sauce. Always makes my stomach happy!!

Oooh, that sunflower tuna sounds awesome. I never liked actual tuna because I don't like fishy flavors. But I always like homemade vegan versions (I tried the vegan Toono - maybe not spelling that right — in a can once, and it was nasty!). Love the idea of adding soy curls to lentil stew!!
ReplyDeleteI have a recipe like that! To me, it's more of a spread than a tuna salad thing, but I love it in its place. (Meanwhile, it amazes me that spicy things make your stomach happy!) http://foodfordissertating.blogspot.com/2018/03/lunchbots-quad-10.html
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated by the sunflower tuna, I have never heard of subflower seeds being used like that. I will have to try it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with The Student that it is amazing that spicy food makes your tummy happy, but I am glad that they do and you always make such great looking comfort food.
I'll have to try sunflower seed tuna sometime! Your post-road trip bowls look so comforting!
