Boston 2013 Vegetarian Food Festival

This was my first time attending the BVS. It's a free Saturday and Sunday Food festival event. They also offered 100 people to enter at 10:00 am  for only $5.00. Otherwise the food festival starts at 11:00 am at no charge to the public. I paid the $5.00 so I could start sampling the food early. There was a lot of different food, jewelry, clothing, arts, drink vendors in this one big large circular room. The restaurant owners was cooking and giving away free food. They ask that you bring your own big shopping bag for the many free food samplers. I also purchased some food items I've never had before like, Prepared mocked meat sold in little packages from Loving Hut. The Citris mocked chikin was my favorite which sold for $3.00 for 8 0z bag. 

We also purchased a vegetarian burger from Roots and I must say the burger didn't fall apart while I was eating it on a bun, We will definitely be checking out their other mouth watering food items on their menu at their restaurant which I read a lot of positive reviews on yelp's website.

Follow your heart gave a lot of free samplers of their vegan mayo. Mah Wah also gave a lot of their fried spring rolls, mocked fried Chikin. Vitamix was giving away samplers - like fruit smoothies, ice cream, and soup. I was to full to indulge but it was fun to watch. I notice he was rinsing the pitcher he was serving customers in a hugh trash bin lined with a black garbage bag. He did this in between making recipes and serving it to the customers. I didn't see a sink near by...

I guess that's what they do? Besides that we had a blast also I forgot to mention there were a few food vendor trucks outside so, on our way out we purchased our first vegan vanilla ice cream on a cone from like no udder. Very tasty

My Version of Chickpea Salad




Ingredients 
recipe makes 4 Servings

2 cups cooked garbanzo beans (chickpeas), cooled, or (2) 16oz cans, rinsed and drained  and chopped 
2 tbsp follow your heart soy free vegenaise
nori seaweed crumbled or seaweed snacks
1 tbsp dulse flakes
1 cup spring water
1/2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 or 2 green onions, chopped
1/2 celery chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
1) Place dulse flakes in a small stainless steel tea infuser. In a small pot add 1 cup of spring water and add the infuser with the dulse flakes. Boil for 3 minutes and let cool.

2) Remove the infuser and add the water mixture in a glass bowl, add 2 cups of beans. It's ok if you get a few pieces of dulse flakes in the bowl. Cover the bowl and marinate for an hour or in the refrigerator overnight. (I did and it gave my chickpeas more flavor)

3) Remove the cover from the garbanzo and drain some of the liquid leaving 1/4 cup left with the beans
Using a dough cutter mash beans but not like mashed potatoes. It should be a little lumpy or crumbly like tuna. (sorry for saying that word) :(
Combine garbanzo beans,vegenaise, mustard, relish, chopped green onions, chopped celery, salt and pepper. Mix well. If this mixture is to wet, drain it before adding it to bread or salad,

Add some nori seaweed crumble or seaweed snacks and enjoy!

Or you can just open two 16oz can of garbanzo beans. Drain the water and rinse the beans. Add the beans into a food processor and place in the bowl. Peel the skin of an onion, cut in quarters and add to a food processor along with celery. Add the onions and celery to the chickpeas, add your choice of seasonings. I like seaweed flakes. Add about 1/4 or 1/2 cup of vegan mayonnaise and mix.

Baked Seasoned Tofu




1 block extra-firm tofu, pressed and drained (choose organic/non-GMO)
2 Tbs. coconut amino 
2 Tbs. vegetable broth
sea salt
Kelp flakes
Old Bay Seasoning
2 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. earth balance
Lemon slices

Cut the block of tofu in half and then cut each half in two width-wise. You should have 4 thin rectangles. I used a 1.75 inch-cookie cutter to press 2 circles out of each rectangle of tofu. Save the leftover tofu pieces for a stir-fry or tofu scramble
Combine the coconut amino and the broth in a shallow bowl. Marinate the scallops for at least 30 minutes. Remove them from the marinade and pat the scallops dry with a paper towel. If they are wet, they will not sear in the pan. Sprinkle the scallops with a bit of salt, kelp flakes and Old Bay Seasoning on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and the butter to the pan. When the butter melts, carefully place each scallop in the pan. You should be able to see the bottom of the scallop browning.
After about 4 to 5 minutes, carefully flip the scallops over and cook on the other side. While the 2nd side is cooking. You should see the sides of the scallops turning brown like pretty rings. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain before serving. Sprinkle lemon juice and serve with vegan tartar sauce. I use soy free veganaise
