Meatless Monday Recipe–Bryant Terry Two Rice Congee
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 30th, 2012 in Authors, Chefs, Food & Drink, Meatless Monday Recipe, Recipes.
Vegan chef Bryant Terry is out to entice those looking to make diet changes that are better for human, planet and animal health with his newly released cookbook, The Inspired Vegan.
Terry is best known for his genius of transforming traditional southern African-American cuisine rich with meat, butter and cream into dishes that lack the animal products but not the taste.
The Inspired Vegan continues that tradition, but also explores plant-based Asian entrees, such as the “Two-Rice Congee with Steamed Spinach and Other Accompaniments.”
Congee is a type of rice porridge popular in many Asian countries. It is often garnished with a variety of condiments to enhance the flavor. Terry adds shoyu, caramelized onions, preserved turnips, roasted peanuts, minced cilantro, and fried bread sticks known as youtiao, something his wife refers to as “Chinese doughnuts.”
No stranger to discussing the political aspects of food in both interviews and his book, Terry’s recommended reading to accompany this recipe is a book that examines the relations between African-Americans and Asians, “Afro Asia: Revolutionary Political and Cultural Connections Between African Americans and Asian Americans,” edited by Fred Ho and Bill V. Mullen.
Grab the recipe here and Afro-Asia here and enjoy good reading with sips of Two-Rice Congee.
