Here at The Militant Carnivore Cooks for his Vegetarian Wife, we believe that health-conscious nutrition and irresponsibly wretched excess go hand in hand. Thus, our scientists at TMCCFHVW Labs have created the Ultimate Multigrain Waffle: It’s packed full of whole wheat flour, cornmeal and quinoa for all of the self-righteous fiber one could hope for [...]

Post-Thanksgiving Croquettes
Posted in Appetizers, Carnivorous, Entrees, Fowl, Side Dishes, Vegetables, Vegetarian on November 30, 2010 | 1 Comment »
When you’ve had all the turkey-cranberry sandwiches and reheated mashed potatoes that you can stand, it’s time to make croquettes with the Thanksgiving leftovers. Croquettes are essentially breaded and deep-fried anythings. Usually, these anythings include bechamel sauce as a binder. The key, then, to post-Thanksgiving croquettes is to make a big ol’ batch of rather [...]
Smoked Cheddar Waffles

Who knew that making waffles was incredibly easy? For some reason, I thought waffle-making was an almost impossibly difficult task, involving seasoning and re-seasoning a finicky waffle iron that was as likely to burn your waffle to a crisp as produce something edible. Maybe that’s never been the case, or maybe waffle iron technology has [...]
Buttered Popcorn with Garlic and Rosemary

A year ago, my Lovely Vegetarian Wife and I joined the late 20th century by acquiring a microwave. We had just moved across the country and were setting up our apartment, and our friends said that they had an old one which they didn’t use anymore. We accepted it, somewhat reluctantly: We had gone for [...]
Cornmeal-Quinoa Pancakes
Posted in Appetizers, Breads and Flatbreads, Breakfast and Brunch, Entrees, Grains, Side Dishes, Vegetarian on October 16, 2010 | 1 Comment »
OK, I’ll be the first to admit, the picture above does not look very appetizing. But trust me: This batter will produce whole-grain pancakes that you won’t even think of as “whole-grain pancakes”, but as a delicious breakfast treat which beautifully complements a range of sweet and savory accompaniments so well that you’ll find yourself [...]
Beet Gnocchi

Two questions: How could it possibly be October already? And why in the world is there a picture of raw ground beef on TMCCFHVW? Mea maxima culpa for the extended absence, my loyal and intrepid readers. Major events in the life of The Militant Carnivore have caused me to neglect my blog for a while, [...]
Cheddar-Chipotle Cornbread

It’s September already?? Where has the summer gone? To compensate for my prolonged absence from The Militant Carnivore, let me present a recipe for some pretty darn good cornbread. It’s adapted from a recipe on Epicurious for green onion-jalapeño cornbread, a batch of which I recently sampled at a Southern food party. I am greatly [...]
Garlic-Lime Butter with Smoked Paprika
Posted in Sauces and Condiments, Vegetarian on August 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
While I still believe that there is nothing better in August than fresh corn-on-the-cob with nothing more than butter and salt, this smoky-spicy-limey-salty butter makes a really nice change of pace for corncob slathering. This would also taste great on bruschetta (however you pronounce it), grilled vegetables, roast chicken, steak… Hell, I’d eat this on [...]
Frisee with Toasted Pecans, Blue Cheese and Burnt Cherries
Posted in Appetizers, Breakfast and Brunch, Entrees, Fruit, Salads, Side Dishes, Vegetables, Vegetarian on August 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »
One of my favorite brunch dishes is salade lyonnaise. Building off the theory that everything tastes better with bacon and a poached egg on top, it is one of the greatest salads around, but perhaps not one that is fit for weeknight dining, and certainly not one that is vegetarian-friendly. Removing just the bacon for [...]
Ricotta-stuffed Squash Blossoms
Posted in Appetizers, Vegetables, Vegetarian on August 2, 2010 | 2 Comments »
You might have to wait until next summer to make this dish, but if your zucchini or summer squash are flowering, grab the blossoms and use them for some of the tastiest vegetable fritters you’ll ever have. Squash blossoms are just begging to be filled with stuffing: A simple puree of soft cheese (ricotta, chevre, [...]
