okay so my favorite vegetarian recipe is my grandmother's dafina ( a moroccan jewish sabbath dish). it's usually made with a calf's foot but because my mother won't eat red meat, my grandmother makes it for her with wheatberries. essentially you add layered slices of onion, potato, sweet potato, cinnamon, paprika, a cup and a half of wheatberries tied up in a cheesecloth bag, a whole garlic bulb (unpeeled), raw eggs (in their shells), some olive oil and some water, put it all in a slow cooker and let it simmer for about 14-16 hours. by the next day everything has browned and caramelized so deeply even meat lovers go nuts for the dish. the eggs turn dark brown inside and the paprika gives everything a smoky flavor.
gah! i'm so homesick!

when i'm feeling out of sorts and not quite right or if i just want some comfort food i make a batch of stir fry.
i pretty much always use the same ingredients: 4 or 5 cloves of garlic, minced; minced chilies (scotch bonnet if i can get it or jalapenos if not); minced ginger -- saute these in a generous glug of olive oil. then add 1 block firm tofu, cut into cubes. sprinkle on dried basil and a good glug of soy sauce -- i use pearl river xtra dark. let this cook for a couple of minutes and then add a couple of handfuls sliced shitake mushrooms. finally, add a bunch of chopped greens -- my faves in order of preference are: curly kale, red chard, beet greens, cavolo nero, spring greens. add a dash of rice vinegar and 1/4 cup water and cover to let the greens steam until tender. when the greens are as you like them sprinkle on some gomaiso, and nutritional yeast and eat on top of a bowl of fluffy brown rice. if you're feeling indulgent add a spoon of greek yogurt on top. HEAVEN!

Black figs with basil, olive oil and balsamic, perched on grilled bread covered in chevre.
Awesome mix of tart, savory, and sweet. Not to mention crunchy and soft.
