White Bean and Barley "Risotto" with Kale and Tempeh

This recipe comes from Robin Robertson's "Vegan On the Cheap". I turn to this cookbook time and time again, it's becoming well loved and shows on the dog-eared pages and notes made in the margin. A little more time consuming than a week night allows, made for a lovely Sunday evening.
And best of all, plenty of leftovers.

Bean and Rice Burritos

Not the prettiest or most photogenic dish made, but quite good. Sauteed mushrooms and onions and jalapenos, added black beans and drained fire-roasted tomatoes. Rolled into burritos with rice and Queso sauce from Lindsay Nixon's Happy Herbivore cookbook. Served with kale salad. Nice and warm on a chilly evening.
Back to tax season....
