Happy Herbivore on Emeril: The Recipes

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Press

Remember when I said I was on Emeril's show?! Well it aired last night. (Did you see me in his kitchen??). I promised I'd veganize all his recipes when the show aired and I have (mostly!).

On the show (Episode 6: Emeril's Heartland), Emeril made Lemony Spiked Sweet Tea, Ham Steaks with Red Eye Gravy, Sweet Potato Biscuits & Molasses-Pecan Butter, EJ's Simple Oven-Baked Ribs and Bourbon BBQ Sauce, Vegetable Pot Pie, Roasted Red Pepper Mac and Cheese and Deep-Dish Banana Pudding with Chocolate Sauce.

Luckily, Emeril & I seem to be on the same wave length because I had healthy & vegan versions of all his dishes already -- except for the biscuits which I was really excited to try my hand at.

For the ribs, use this vegan recipe with a tangy bourbon-based BBQ sauce (that's accidentally vegan). Then run a few roasted red peppers through your food processor or blender and add them to the cheese sauce in my easy mac n'cheese recipe . Substitute my whole wheat veggie biscuit pot pie for Emeril's pot pie and round the meal out with my instant banana-flavored ice cream and fat-free chocolate syrup . If your heart is set on a pudding, though, there are plenty of banana soy puddings on the market or you can make my ice cream with very ripe bananas (not frozen) and serve it in a bowl with crushed whole wheat gram crackers (but I do have a graham cracker crust recipe , too!).

Now for the biscuits! Mmm... sweet potatoes. check back tomorrow for the recipe!
