I am not myself a vegetarian, but I do use a lot of grains and legumes
in my cooking and these are so very compatible with pepper sauces
that I find one can be very inventive.
I have found a mail order source for some very unusual varieties of
these items.
Red Colusair rice, Himalayan red rice. Tiger Eye beans, chestnut lima
beans, Black Barley (very hard to find) and Black garbanzo beans
(almost impossible to find) Israeli couscous, which is very different
from anything else I have tried.
They also have red and blue posole for only $4.25 a pound which is a lot
cheaper than the place in Santa Fe.
They have a lot of sampler packs so you can try a variety of their
wares.
I make a vegetable casserole "medly" of cooked beans, rice, green
beans, onions, celery, cubed extra firm tofu and vegetable broth with
chopped green chiles that is very tasty.
I don't go by a recipe as it changes all the time. Sometimes I add
shredded jicama or yucca or even taro root. This is something you
have to experiment with yourself. it is more fun that way.
The company is Indian Harvest and they have a web site.
www.indianharvest.com
I usually just phone in an order
