mkiojon Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I just made some Ethiopian style collard greens and they were quite good. I made a berbere paste "similar to Indian curry paste, but with cayanne and paprika as the main ingredients" and added that to my normal collard recipe with sauteed onions and tomatoes. This is great with injera "Ethiopian flat bread" made from Teff "a grain high in protein with no gluten" and the lentil dish that I made. Collards are really cheap right now because they are in season, so I am trying to eat a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hmmm berbere paste...I had it for the first time last week and it was delish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkiojon Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah, I am a big fan of Ethiopian food. There are some great recipes online to make Ethiopian greens and beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 How easy is it to make injera and how much does teff cost out where you live??? I can't find it anywhere out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravi Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I had ethiopian food for the first time last week. The food was amazing. IN SEATTLE: There is a place called Pan-Africa right near pike place market (on 1st ave). They have a great Veggie Combo that is all vegan. Super-hea;thy too, nothing is fried or cooked in much oil. I could eat that stuff all day long. Good live music at night as well. GREENS: I take a green powder in the morning. 1 serving of vega in the evening and usually a large head or two brocolli or some kale/mixed greens with dinner.

Guest Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 The place near me is great...I wish I went there sooner(although its very pricey). Maybe 1/3 of the choices have meat at most and a little over half of the non-meat dishes are vegan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneyvegan Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I usually eat a lot of greens, it is usually around 4 cups a day. I pile a big mound under what I am having for dinner, and usually have some at lunch time as well. Young fresh growth packed full of nutrients seem to really agree with me.

mipooh Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Most of the greens here I have never seen before and don´t know their names. Some greens are in my food when I go to the "restaurant" (nearly daily).I am going to order a bio-snacky from Germany as I liked to eat alfala and green soja sprouts.And I am thinking about having some in the garden, the seeds I bought already, only I am very lazy... Oh, sometimes I eat salads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganmomma Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I eat 4-6 cups of cooked collard greens a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Philippines the only leafy green you really see is Bok Choy and you almost never see anything else(not even frozen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkiojon Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi Veganpotter, To answer your question about Teff, they have it at Whole Foods here in Los Angeles for about $4 a package, that is about a 24 oz...I think. You can also buy Teff in Little Ethiopia here in LA near where I live and it can be cheaper depending on where you get it. The stores sell the grain as well as the flour. Also, making Injera is difficult for me. I have tried some recipes online and haven't achieved the results that I get when eating at an Ethiopian restaurant. If I come across a good recipe, than I'll be sure to post it. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Veganmadre has made some yummy looking injera....maybe you could check with her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mipooh Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 How are the leafy greens in Thailand.You know, here we don´t cook much, we go to the restaurant (most people do as it is cheaper than cooking, I pay 20-40 Bath for a meal, one us$ should be around 32 Bath) and yes there are some leafy greens inside the food. Some taste good but you don´t have much greens inside a meal.In the markets, to me it looks like they have about 10-15 different kinds of greens, surely not much more.The vegetables I know is carotts, cauliflower, broccoli, chinese leaves and tomato, the rest I don´t know by name, some I never ate knowingly. It looks different in the market than in a meal.I just start to find out what I can buy or have in the garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Wow I can't believe its cheaper to eat out than in...I've gotta move out there. In the Philippines food is super cheap and I'd probably be nearly completely raw there(with the exception of occational visits to the lone vegan restaurant. Just for a price comparision an extra value meal is about 35 pesos and when I was there the rate was 52 pesos to the dollar. Its still very cheap to eat out but still cheaper to eat in in the Philippines...a mango(not the crappy mangoes people in the states think taste good) costs 2 pesos at most markets....sometimes 5 to Americans but even thats rare.

pamela Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 When I'm around Brendan Brazier my plate is green all the time and I'm having salads like crazy. This made me laugh. I saw Brendan last night and will be seeing him a couple times next week and it's having the same effect on me! He inspires those around him to be healthier. I generally have 1-3 servings of greens a day. Probably not enough, but I'm working on it. Also, I'm totally on an Ethiopian kick these days too. I think the local ethiopian restaurant will let you buy injera if you ask nicely, so I'm going to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveliberate Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Fruit, Ethiopian & Thai - Oh My! I vary widely on daily greens intake... I have at least a small portion most days plus a Vega shake. Ideally, I'd eat more like Brendan but cost and/or laziness often gets in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I like green gummy worms, green apples, green salsa (verde), and gang grene. Oh and avocados yum! Green tea is good. Fried green tomatoes, mint, and limeaide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
