Sorry for being gone so long, I had one of the worst flu's I've had in a loooong time. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. let's just say food or anything hasn't been appealing for awhile, I'll tell you about what I made before I got sick.
I have to give a shout out to: Kyrs
For inspiring me to blog about this Bobby Flay recipe I veganized like 8 months ago.
She inspired me to blog about a Bobby Flay recipe: called Texas Dogs he makes it with the real stuff of course, and I changed the recipe a lot considering I never looked at the recipe until just now. I just liked the sounds of it and went for my own versions. Which is chipolte BBQ coated veggie dogs with Dijon dill pickle coleslaw.
I love the combination of the sweet-smoky-spicy BBQ sauce, and the contrast between that my tangy crunchy coleslaw.
I serve mine on homemade or store bought pitas, because I do not like Hot-dog buns.
Here's My recipe for it: If you make it I'd love a link-back to my blog! :)
BBQ sauce:
1 1/2 cup beer
4 chipolte peppers finely chopped (more or less depending on how spicy you like)
1 TBSP onion powder
1 TSP garlic powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 TSP mustard powder
3 TBSP white Vinegar
2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 TBSP ketchup
1 TBSP tomato paste
1 TBSP molasses
2 TSP Earth balance.
Directions:
1. Dump all the ingredients in a smallish pot and whisk till everything is combined. Cook on med-high for about 10 minutes.
2. Then take 1 TBSP water and 2 tsp cornstarch and mix well in separate container, then dump that into the sauce and whisk till everything is thick and the cornstarch has been cooked.
Coleslaw: (I just put everything through the slicing blade of my food processor)
1/2 a med-small head of cabbage finely shredded, I use red cabbage because its higher it vitamins and its pretty :)
3 carrots grated
4-5 stalks celery thinly sliced
1 big onion finely chopped
Make dressing in a separate bowl:
1/4 cup whole grain dijon (a really mild one)
a squirt of a ground dijon mustard
1/2 cup dill pickle juice
1/3 sweet pickle juice
4-6 dill pickles chopped finely
1 cup Vegan mayo*(if you would my low fat, very little oil recipe, just ask and I'll post it!)
a few pinches salt
lost of black pepper
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 garlic cloves grated/minced
Then just combine it all!
I fry the veggie dogs in a pan with a little oil, till they are super crispy and almost blackish, or they would good BBQ'd I'm sure.
I add the sauce into the pan, and coat them with a lot, then stick them in the bun and top with lots of coleslaw. I usually serve this with oven fries, this is my favorite way to eat veggie dogs.
Question of the blog: Have you ever Veganized a food network recipe?

Hope you're feeling 100% better!!
I LOVE Bobby Flay's recipes (and Bobby Flay himself - he's VERY good-looking, in my opinion ;-) ).
I've veganized some of Giada's, Ina's, and Emeril's recipes with great results!
Yum. Sophia, these sound terrific. I will have to give this recipe a try. Thanks for the shout out.
My greatest challange in the kitchen... veganizing Paula Deen's recipes. And I have. Several, well, lots of them actually. She's my hero even with the butter and bacon she's so fond of!! Alton Brown too, though he does lots of veggies and stuff aqnyway.
I'll have to look back thru my blog to see which ones. Yum. I mostly like LOOKING at Bobby Flay.
Yum! Those vegan hot dogs are making me hungry!!! I love your bbq sauce recipe, it sounds fabulous! I haven't ever veganized a Food Network recipe because we don't get it here. If you're interested in looking though, Tami at www.veganappetite.com veganizes one every Friday :)
Thanks, Sofia! That was really nice. Thnak you for being a reader.
I definitely veganize food network recipes from time to time. I like to challenge myself to tackle the most meat/cheese/egg laden dishes, and make them taste even better if I can.
I thought about doing a series of Paula Dean just to prove her recipes could be done sans cholesterol, but then I thought better of myself ;)
