There are people who think they understand olives but have never tasted kalamatas. Sad but true. Great post OP; you made me get up to eat.
Vegan Home Cooks
Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!
Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.
This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Adults Only.
While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult. If you have a gross and profane username you will be removed.
And there might even be better olives than them that I have no idea about (or cannot get where I am), but Kalamata are indeed out of this world already! Thanks!
That looks delicious, do you have a recipe?
The ingredients are noted above if you didn't notice - but if you want more detail, here you go:
The onions (300g but I will use more next time) were caramelised without oil (just water and stirring at high then medium then low heat for like 30min a nonstick pan), the nori were rehydrated, capers cut into small bits, and it's just all placed on top of the dough (olives being put upright and herbs and salt and msg sprinkled on top) which is cooked for 20min at 250°C in a pie pan. The dough is a normal pizza dough that my partner made, here is what she wrote on how she did it:
"Ww (whole wheat) flour + pinch of salt in a bowl
I make a mix of flour + water + yeast+ pinch of sugar to start it off.
Then incorporate the starter in the rest of the flour and I add water until it the dough is watery enough to me, knead it 10 min and let rise as long as you want."
I think it was 250g of dough? It was left over from the day before. Not much capers, and 150g of olives but doesn't really matter.
And thank you!
The nori substitute for anchovies is just brilliant.
Try deep frying nori for a short moment - I think it´s the most fishy flavor vegan food can have :P
Sounds delicious! Such a flavorful topping - I love everything about it except the artificial flavor enhancer. However that is ofc not important as long as you enjoyed it I´m happy for you!
