FAJITA FAJITA!

I wasn't teasing, I really do have plenty of food porn to post. Here are fajitas I made when J2 came over a few days before my bike trip:

The produce before cooking, and:

after cooking, with the tempeh thrown in. Tempeh, you say?

Oh yeah, tempeh! Cubed and uncooked, and then:

fried with olive oil and salt.

Some reasonably good looking organic bell peppers.

And a side profile. You can see a seam on the green pepper, the kind of thing that "perfect" conventional peppers wouldn't make it to supermarket display with. You would probably have to dumpster them, if they made it as far as the store.

Cut and cleaned, and ready to FRY!

And the peppers, with a little olive oil and fry lovin'.

More before and after magic, with organic zucchini:

FRIED! Woo woo woo!

Green onions, and

broccoli.

Made for some damn tasty fajitas, lemme tell you what. So much so that when J got home from work last night, she wanted fajitas, too! So, with (no) apologies to a nasty pizza chain which shall remain unnamed for the play on words, I made fajitas fajitas!

Of course, any proper meal that any reasonable person would eat starts with ONIONS!

We were hungry, so I was working quickly and don't have many prep pictures this time. Suffice it to say that they look a lot like the prep pictures above. Here is the veggie mixture cooking.

And fully cooked.

And fully cooked.

And I had a hankering for more fried food, so I did a slightly lower-oil version of battering and deep fat frying. Here are some onions, about to get bathed in batter, and:

FRIED! I mean, for real: how can you not want to eat these?

Here are some similarly frying green peppers. J made a wasabi veganaise for a dipping sauce. Yum yum yum!
