Black Bean and Corn Stuffed Peppers with Roasted Cauliflower, Millet and Jalapeno Cashew Cream

Black bean and corn stuffed bell peppers with raz el hanout roasted cauliflower, millet, jalapeno cashew cream and garlic chives. Yes it's vegan.

Bhindi Masala or Okra Curry


Last round of this season's small tender okra and probably the next to last round of decent tomatoes. Wanting to celebrate the fresh ingredients, I tried out Vegan Richa's very simple Bhindi Masala recipe and really enjoyed the delicate flavor. I served the okra with Basmati rice and a brown lentil dal. You can find the recipe here: http://www.veganricha.com/2016/05/bhindi-masala.html
