You Can Make What???

I L❤️VE the versatility of Epicure. Recently I made 3 meals that were so very far from what the back of the package had intended.  I encourage you to check out the recipes on my site.
I made Vegetarian Black Bean Soup with the Pulled Chicken seasoning Packet!


Search your meal solution HERE for tons of alternate recipes.

EASY BLACK BEAN SOUP


Perfectly Balance Your Plate

Serve with 1⁄4 sliced avocado, 1⁄2 cup tortilla chips (try crushing them over your soup!), and 1⁄2 cup sliced veggies.

Ingredients

4 cans (19 oz/540 ml each) low-sodium black beans
2 bell peppers
1 yellow onion
1 can (28 oz/796 ml) no salt added diced tomatoes
4 cups water

Toppings (optional): diced red onion, 2% plain Greek yogurt, sliced avocado, hot sauce

Preparation

PROGRAMMABLE PRESSURE COOKER 

  1. Drain and rinse black beans; add to an 8-quart programmable pressure cooker.
  2. Dice peppers and onion. Add peppers, onion, diced tomatoes, water, and seasoning to pot. Stir to combine.
  3. Secure lid. Place steam release valve in SEALING position. Press MANUAL button, select HIGH, and set the time to 10 min. This will take some time to get up to temperature before the timer starts to count down.
  4. When the cook time has finished, naturally release pressure for 10 min.
  5. Using a long-handled spoon, push the steam release valve to VENTING position. Release pressure completely before opening lid.
  6. Using an immersion blender, purée most of the soup, leaving some chunky bits. Taste and season with salt as desired.
  7. Serve with additional toppings, if desired.

SLOW COOKER 

  1. Drain and rinse black beans; add to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Dice peppers and onion. Add peppers, onion, diced tomatoes, water, and seasoning to slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  3. Cover; cook on high 4–5 hours. The liquid should be bubbling and the onions soft.
  4. Using an immersion blender, purée most of the soup, leaving some chunky bits. Taste and season with salt as desired.
  5. Serve with additional toppings, if desired.

The 3rd recipe We tried that was fantastic! I love the Easy Peasy Bolognese over noodles or to dip french bread in it as an appetizer

 Vegetarian Bolognese Pizza


Ingredients

1 can (28 oz/796 ml) crushed tomatoes
1⁄2 cup water or broth
1⁄2 cup plain non-dairy creamer or half and half cream (10%)
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1⁄2 red onion
2 (12" each) thin whole-wheat pizza crusts
1 1⁄2 cups grated mozzarella cheese, parmesan, or a mix of both

Toppings (optional): chopped black olives, fresh basil or arugula

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 450° F.  
  2. In a large Multipurpose Pot, combine mix, crushed tomatoes, water, and creamer. 
  3. Cover; simmer on medium heat for 15 min, stirring occasionally. It will thicken near the end of the cook time; stir more frequently at that time to prevent sticking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.  
  4. Meanwhile, slice tomatoes in half. Thinly slice onion.  
  5. Place pizza crusts on two separate Sheet Pans lined with Sheet Pan Liners. Spread 1 cup sauce over each crust (save remainder for use at a later date). Top with tomatoes, onion, and cheese. 
  6. Bake until cheese melts, 8 min. Remove from oven. To serve, cut each pizza into 8 slices.

Chicken Souvlaki in 20 minutes

Join me as I whip up a greek-inspired dish. I would never have had the spices to make this at home. Love Epicure for giving me the ability to cook things from around the world and get us out of our dinner rut!  I did this both vegetarian and with chicken.  Epicure really is for everyone.  We don't like tomatoes, so I added Zucchini and extra peppers.  Make it however you and your family will eat it.

You Can Make Anything Vegetarian

YES! You can make pretty much any Epicure Meal Solution- Vegetarian.  This is why I love Epicure- I am #vegetarian, my family is not!  Today I used a crab cake packet that I received in one of my Subscription boxes to make Chick Pea Cakes! YES!! They were delicious.
I just followed the recipe on the back and instead of crab, I mashed up chick peas. 


Chick Peas are an amazing alternative to meat.  Check it our for yourself:For the recipe I used a tad bit of mayo, the seasoning,
and mashed chick peas. I used a little less than a can of chick peas. I pressed into mini muffin tins, although you could use the regular sized Silicone Muffin maker (you get 2 of these). 

Ingredients

oil, for greasing
about 10 oz chickpeas (less than 1 can)
1 egg
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 pkg Classic Crab Cake Seasoning

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Generously oil Muffin Maker. Set aside.
  2. Drain crab meat well. Set aside.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together egg, mayonnaise, and seasoning. Fold in crab meat. Don’t overmix; leave some chunks.  
  4. Divide mixture evenly between 6 wells in Muffin Maker. Press to lightly pack.
  5. Bake 15 min, or until cooked through and tops are golden-brown.
  6. Let cool slightly before unmolding.
