Super weird. |
Day 4: Tell about a weird food combo that you love
Today's Vegan Month of Food topic is a tough one for me. I
mean, really, is there any food combo that's just too weird? It will be super
fun to click around and see what everyone else in the vegan world considers 'weird.'
(use #veganmofo or #vgnmf15 on instagram or twitter or facebook or google)
I kept tasting that weird little piece, just to make sure. |
I think a carrot hot dog might qualify as 'weird,'
especially for you non-vegans out there. It's like combining all the totally
nasty stuff in a 'real' hot dog with all the natural stuff in a carrot. Is that
weird? Not too weird for me. I think it's WEIRD to eat the ingredients in a
'real' hot dog. Trust me, these little carrot weirdos are super tasty and
completely free of all the 'weird' stuff you might encounter at a meat-eaters
BBQ.

Here's what you need:
(from Clean Eating Veggie Girl)
2 large carrots, peeled, cut to the length of a hot dog bun
1/4 C soy sauce
1/4 C water
1 T rice vinegar
1 T sesame oil
1/2 T cider vinegar
dash liquid smoke
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 t dried ginger
1/4 t black pepper
1/8 t granulated onion powder
Here's what you do:
Simmer the carrots till fork tender, but not mushy. Whisk
together the marinade and allow carrots to marinate for 24 hours. (Ziplock bag
works great here)
Brown the carrots in a tiny bit of oil, drizzling in some
extra marinade if desired. They should get nice and soft and brown, with small
burned places.
Serve with the usual suspects. :) Weird, right?
You know what, it is kind of weird. I keep seeing these across the vegan facebook pages and have always thought a carrot dog is an abomination! Surely it just tastes like a carrot in a bun?? hahaha. Maybe I should stop being judgey and try it!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this suggestion! Might have to try it!
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to try the carrot hot dog thing for a while. But I think I may have to keep it secret - can you imagine what the non-vegans would say to carrot hot dogs?!
ReplyDeleteYours looks so delicious though.
Just made these, minus the ginger. Ah-mazing!
ReplyDeleteRight? So strange, but they actually taste great! Especially with all the 'fixins'
