Gobi Manchurian, from Saveur No. 108


(Photo by Andre Baranowski, in Saveur Issue #108)

Saveur always has such interesting short articles about little-known foods and ingredients. My uncle gets me a gift subscription every Christmas so I keep an eye on it, and found this delicious recipes for Indian-Chinese Sweet and Spicy Fried Cauliflower on page 46 in issue No. 108. It contains ingredients easy to find in the winter, like cauliflower, chile powder, ginger, onions. It's a simple but spicy recipe and just the thing for a warming winter meal. No veganizing necessary, this recipe has nary an animal ingredient.

If you get thirsty from all that spiciness, try the Fresh Lime Soda, on the same page. (And on the previous page, check out a guide to common weeds that you can eat. Just ignore the part about sauteing them with bacon.)
