Picadillo. Sweet raisins add a lovely offset to briny olives, ground beef, spices and tomato. Need a vegan version of this dish? Click here.

Mango Chutney. Some folks on the fence about raisins find golden raisins easier to love. And they're beyond easy to love with tart-sweet mango, cranberries, some spice-heat and vinegar zing in this flavorful condiment.

Mary Berry's Orange Tea Bread. Becky Krystal loves raisins and Mary Berry, and she gets both in this tea bread. If you make it, you can too. Soak raisins and currants (or all raisins!) in hot tea so they rehydrate slightly and absorb tea flavors.

Fruit and Nut Energy Bars. Ellie Krieger needed to develop a homemade energy bar after finding the store-bought ones "too sweet, too pasty, too artificial-tasting." These rely on raisins, dried apricots and dates for gentle sweetness and plenty of nuts and seeds.

National Meatball Day is March 9, so we've compiled these vegan meatball recipes that are sure to satisfy your taste buds. Whether you're looking for a meal that you can throw together quickly or something made from scratch, there's something for everyone. You can now find tons of delicious vegan meatball brands at your local grocery stores, but they can also be made at home with ingredients such as beans, tempeh, textured vegetable protein, or veggies—the culinary options are vast. However you make them, choosing vegan meatballs helps prevent cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys from being raised and killed for food.

This easy weeknight meal is made with store-bought vegan meatballs, so all you have to do is throw everything into your slow cooker.

Next time you take a trip to Trader Joe's, pick up these four ingredients to make easy, mouthwatering meatball subs.

This traditional Mexican meatball soup has a flavorful tomato-based broth and tons of healthy veggies.

SF Chronicle Columnists Battle Over ‘Life Stories’ Within Recipes - Eater SF

Posted: 08 Mar 2021 12:08 PM PST

Welcome to p.m. Intel, your bite-sized roundup of Bay Area food and restaurant news. Tips are always welcome, drop them here.

  • We are a nation divided in so many ways, but for our purposes today, let's talk about the issue of textural content — which some refer to as "life stories" — that one can find written above free-to-read online recipes. The angst that some feel at having to scroll was satirically approached by Eater.com's Jenny G. Zhang last year, when she sarcastically wrote "Memo to recipe bloggers: No one wants your life story, says me, an asshole." Then, just a few months ago, SF Chronicle Datebook columnist Tony Bravo took the opposite approach, writing a non-sarcastic piece commanding "Food bloggers: Stop telling us your life stories. We just want the recipes." It's hard not to read Chron food critic Soleil Ho's latest piece without thinking of Bravo's headline, as Ho writes today that "I am once again asking you to stop complaining about life stories on recipes." Ho isn't directly responding to Bravo, one assumes, as she references the recent ratio/scandal over abortive context-stripping-startup Recipeasly (here's the deal with that whole mess). But it'a hard not to think about Bravo's recent screed when Ho writes lines like "this is a conversation that comes up again and again, often among people who think that 'I just want the recipe' is an original thought," and delivers a blistering kicker worth the cost of, say, a subscription to your local paper.
