This is another recipe I tried from The Moosewood New Classics. The combination of artichokes, dry sherry, and orange and lime lime juice sounded appealing. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that great. I found it was lacking flavor, but I can’t really figure out what I would add to it to make it better.

So I then figured out a nice way to serve it, added a little brandy for some extra flavor, and a little bit of that magic xanthum gum to thicken it up. Trust me, it’s a real hit.

Clare gets most of the credit for this recipe. The combination of corn, beans, and vegetables makes a tasty, healthy, and quick meal. It is particularly nice in the summer, since it does not require any cooking.

This recipe comes from the Vegetarian Starter Kit, which convinced me to go vegan. Be sure to use whole wheat pastry flour. Regular whole wheat flour produces a very dense flapjack.
