Udon with Gingered Peanut Sauce

It’s Giveaway Day Three!!

Hubs and I usually eat pretty well. I can very happily say that as we’ve been cooking through the Grains and Greens on the Deep Blue Sea Cookbook this week, we’ve been eating exceptionally well. One of our favourites so far? Millet, Pecan and Watercress Salad -with orange zest- = out of this world. Sadly, there’s not enough days to post every single delicious item in the book (Arugula Salad with Smoked Tempeh and Ranch Dressing, I’m looking at you!!) so if you’re looking for a fab book that’s user friendly and has great recipes, pick this one up.

As we’re all deep into the craziness of the holiday season, I wanted to share something with you that is uber fast and easy, and can be made to suit a variety of dining situations. Serve these bad boys up as an appy, as part of a multi-course buffet meal, or as we did today, with the addition of fried tofu, steamed greens, quickly blanched julienned carrots and daikon, along with strips of nori to make a one bowl meal. Fast and easy. And of course, delicious too. Plus, they pair brilliantly with what’s in store for you tomorrow… See you then!!

Here’s the deets for this week’s giveaway-

You can enter more than once!!! Just leave ONE comment on each individual post this week. That’s up to five chances you have to win! You have until December 19th at 11:59 PM to leave an eligible comment.

I’ll mail the cookbook anywhere in the world, so even if you’re reading from Russia, Alaska, China or Japan, you too can have a taste of the tropics!

The winner will be picked by random and announced here on the blog on December 20th. You likely won’t receive the cookbook until after the holidays, but you should get it in time to start cooking up some delicious recipes in the New Year.

Ok, I definitely have to try this one, even if I have to go the extra step and find unshelled organic peanuts (seems like an impossible task here). I usually avoid them because of the aflatoxins, but they´re so yummy!! :)

nice pictures, I’ll go investigate whole your website :)

Chuck Lowery - December 14, 2012 - 10:40 am

Ignore the (excellent) photos. Get right to the recipe! Though I like peanuts, they don’t like me so I’ll be subbing almond butter.
