Needed better/fresher cinnamon. Ended up a little thin, so don’t squish them too much when pressing them into sugar mix. It was a good idea to add chili to sugar/cinnamon mix!
Seitan Mushroom Stew
Journal
Put fresh mushrooms in (quartered) instead of dried. Really like getting the contrasting bites of them in the stew! Was a little bit appetizingly brown/white after adding the flour mixture. Baby carrots were not a great idea but we used what we had!
Topped with green onions and microgreens.
