Oh, yum!

We made sriracha and maple lentil/brown rice/wild rice with shitake mushrooms yesterday that was amazing. We served it with sausage and kale.

On day two I made roasted carrots and parsnips to go on it and it was heaven. Spicy, sweet. The wild rice, which had been a little crunchy, had finished cooking all the way reheating.

I'm going to save the recipe here for the veggies, though I still think it needs something green.

Orange roasted carrots and parsnips:

Preheat the oven to 450o F
"some" carrots and parsnips. I think I used four of each
1 navel orange
1/2 - 1 tsp sriracha to taste.
1-2 tbs olive oil
1-2 tbs soy sauce (I used tamari for gluten issues)
1/2 tsp salt (I used chipotle spice mix instead)
cracked black pepper

Peel and chop the veggies
cut the orange into 8 slices
toss everything together
Throw in a 450 degree oven for 20 minutes

If everything turns out right the oranges should be scorched around the edges. Juice a couple of the now jammy slices over everything. Try to decide which tastes better, the carrots or the parsnips.

It really needs something that's green. Parsley or the tops of green onions should be added at the end. I bet sliced grannie smith apples would go well tossed and baked in the oven, but coming out wouldn't be that bright flash of colour that it needs.
