Earth day dinner
We are going veggie for Earth day.
We eat at least 2 veggie dinners a week this is an easy one.
Quorn fake chicken patties served on any good bread or English muffins etc. I had white bread from the Chez bakery in West TX smothered with mayo(mines homemade but Hellman's is good) lettuce, tomato, sliced onion or shallot(omit if kids don't like)pickles etc.
Served with homemade onion rings and corn.
Recipes
MAYO
egg yolk(mines from my own chickens but if not you can add about a tablespoon of very hot water to coddle the egg)
whisk,blend or food process in 1/2 c oil. I use grape seed for health benefits but use what you have. Olive oil is pretty strong in flavor so use something more neutral. sunflower, canola etc
small squeeze of lemon juice a couple of drops really
salt and pepper.
OR just use store bought!
ONION RINGS
slice yellow onions in big rings toss in seasoned flour,about 2 cups.
remove and set aside. now add some liquid to the flour like water, milk,buttermilk,beer or club soda(remember the onions have been taken out and set aside) make a thicker pancake batter consistency, about 1/2 -1 cup of liquid, add slowly whisk than add more till the consistency is thick but pourable.
toss in onion rings.
fry in a skillet with 1 inch of oil on medium high heat, turn when light brown and fry other side. You don't need to submerge them in oil and make sure the oil is hot when you put them in and they wont be greasy.
When done put them in the oven with the fakey bakey chicken and keep warm.
heat the corn or serve corn on the cob(my kids love! cob)
Serve with ketchup.
