👍 Bravo You Chefs 👍

     The amount of quality recipe posts you all share with me each week is mind-boggling, and sometimes I don't even have time to look at them all. This is a good problem to have though, and as always I thank you all for keeping my creative culinary fire stoked.

Congratulations @aswita

Stuffed Peppers Recipe

by: @stellify

     These stuffed capsicums caught my eye, and am usually used to seeing this dish done in an Indian style, this Mediterranean take on stuffed peppers was very refreshing, and makes use of seasoned rice as the stuffing. The post contains easy-to-follow instructions and photography to help you get your technique right, as it there is a little bit of knife-work involved.

Chinese Bean Croquettes

by: @marianis

     I usually refer to this Venezuelan Hiver as the "Herbal Tea Queen of Hive," but now she's gone and surprised me with these lovely croquettes. She can brew a mean cup of herbal healing and she has some chefery skills too, and this post is a perfect example of that. Mung beans are something my family and I eat very often, but usually in dessert for, so this recipe is a nice departure from the way I am used to consuming these beans.

Making of Mango Fruit Leather (Aam Papad)

by: @chetanpadliya

     Mango leather is so much more delicious than it sounds, but I understand why the word "leather" doesn't really make it sound appealing. I used to purchase these sheets of golden-honey goodness in Cambodia by the kilo, and boy how I miss those days. This chef's technique involves a little cooking, a little pureeing, and a little sunlight, all to make such a dense flavor of mango that you have to try it to believe it.

Coconut Chia Pudding w/ Steamed Fruit

by: @zo3d

     When I saw this post I thought the berries might've acai, something common here in Suriname. This chia pudding looks very similar to a common breakfast porridge, and it reminded how awesome chia and basil seed desserts are. This is one is coconut flavored and topped with steamed fruit, and the layers make it a visually appealing dish to put in a clear glass or bowl.

Steamed Pumpkin and Soy Sprouts

by: @anggreklestari

     This chef is always full of creative ideas. A little Indonesian imagination on her part landed these soy sprouts in a steamed pumpkin bowl. There's kaffir lime leaves and chili paste for some punchy flavors, and some turmeric to keep it beautifully orange. Do check this dish out, especially if you have pumpkins in abundance like we do at our place.

We hope you get involved with posting lots of yummy #plantbased #vegan #naturalmedicine #ecotrain recipes! Both communities are now also supported by OCD, so good quality posts might also get a little bit of extra love. Stay healthy, stay safe, and stay happy!
