This is making my new vegetarian resolve really hard to keep. And here I was doing so well….
I added carrots to it, and it was yummy that way. The sauce was a bit strong, and we didn’t need as much as the recipe makes. Sooooo. . . I bet you could to blackened carrots/leeks/zucchini in place of the pork. Firm tofu would probably do well, too. *grin* THe carrots were super yummy, btw–I ate more of them than the pork.
Hey, you might be interested in my fried chicken recipe Imposted a while back: Get Thee Behind Me Fried Chicken. I don’t cook it as much because it tastes way, way too good, and I eat too much of it.
