BLT Mac and Cheese (Vegan)

Jump to Recipe
BLT Mac and Cheese with Eggplant Bacon

A little over 10 years ago, I moved from the Southern part of the US to Boston with Jeff. I was so excited to start a new life in a new place with a new-to-me culture and scenery, and it seemed like nothing could stand in the way of my happiness. But fast forward a few months later, and I found myself sitting in a cubicle in a job I wasn’t thrilled about, and my happiness quickly turned into frustration. I craved the opportunity to do something that had meaning and would give me a sense of fulfillment that was overwhelmingly lacking in my current 9 to 5 life.

BLT Mac and Cheese with Eggplant Bacon

During that time, I was also starting to learn how to cook. I failed miserably at almost everything I tried to make, but something kept me coming back to the kitchen to try it again, and I eventually got better over time. When I went vegan, I felt like I was starting all over and made the same kind of dumb mistakes and choices in the kitchen, but again, felt the urge to come back and try to work them out. Over more time, planning and making dinner became something that I looked forward to—a ritual that got me through the work day and gave me something to focus on, plan and create. I loved discovering new-to-me vegan ingredients and following recipes I found online.

One day I was looking online for something to make for dinner and stumbled across a website called The Post Punk Kitchen, run by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. It had recipes! It had a cooking forum! It had other vegans on it! Isa was relateable, funny and would answer cooking questions that were posted in the forum. She also had a cookbook called Vegan With a Vengeance that I ordered as soon as I heard about it. Once I received it, I bookmarked everything, and began to cook my way through it. Isa’s methods were approachable, affordable, easy and delicious. It became my go-to resource for cooking, and made me feel like it was “okay” and “normal” to be vegan. (At that time, I didn’t know any other vegans and felt pretty marginalized among friends and family.)

Because Vegan with a Vengeance made vegan cooking so fun and approachable, it played a big part in why I fell in love with and continue to love cooking. Now, fast forward 10 years later, and Vegan With a Vengeance has been re-released as a 10-year anniversary edition. Some recipes are reworked, some are completely new and it contains all-new photography by Kate Lewis. It couldn’t have come at a better time, because my old copy is pretty shabby:

Vegan with a Vengeance, by Isa Chndra Moskowitz

You can’t really tell from the picture, but the pages are all warped, the spine is about to give out, and all of the pages are stained. If your old copy of VwaV looks like mine, or you don’t have one, today’s your lucky day because the nice folks over at Da Capo Lifelong are offering a free copy of the new edition of Vegan with a Vengeance to two readers through this post … it’s so shiny and new!

Description

From Vegan with a Vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Reprinted with permission from Da Capo Lifelong, © 2015

BLT Mac & Cheeze! Do I have your attention? If it’s summer and you have a garden, or a CSA, or just want to use some in-season produce from the grocery, maybe you can relate to the challenge of Too Many Tomatoes (though, really, can you have too many?). After moving to Omaha, I began growing tomatoes and looked for any reason to put them in everything. And so BLT Mac was born. I made the “B” out of eggplant (remember: vegans will make ba-con out of anything). For the “L,” arugula is always prolific in the garden, plus I love its muskiness, which goes per-fectly with the bright and smoky flavors of the other ingredients.


Ingredients

FOR THE CHEEZE

  • 1 cup cashews, soaked in water
  • for at least 2 hours or overnight
  • 1 cup vegan vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground
  • black pepper

FOR THE BLT MAC

  • 8 ounces small shell pasta
  • or macaroni (gluten-free, whole wheat, or any type)
  • 4 cups baby arugula
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes (or chopped regular tomatoes)
  • 1 recipe Eggplant Bacon 

EGGPLANT BACON (makes 2 cups bacon)

  • 1 pound eggplant
  • Cooking spray
  • 1⁄4 cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke

Instructions

TO MAKE THE CHEEZE

  1. Drain the cashews and place with all the sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend away until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides with a spatula to make sure you get everything. Depending on the strength of your blender, this could take from 1 to 5 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper, keeping in mind that you want it just a little saltier than you think because it’s going to be poured over all of the other ingredients.

TO MAKE THE BLT MAC

  1. Prepare the pasta according to the package directions. When the pasta is tender, drain it in a colander. Immediately place it back in the pot you boiled it in and stir in the sauce. Place the pot on low heat and stir for 3 minutes or so, until the sauce is thickened a bit and everything is deliciously creamy. Taste for salt again.
  2. Now toss in the arugula, tomatoes, and eggplant bacon, leaving a little extra aside to garnish, if you like.

EGGPLANT BACON

This recipe is so easy you’ll be making eggplant bacon in your sleep! The perfect slice has varying textures from crisp and browned in some spots, to tender and chewy in others. To that end, hand slice these babies instead of using a mandoline and aim for 1⁄8-inch slices, but don’t worry about perfection. The varying degrees of thickness will work to your advantage here. Just don’t cut it too thick, the eggplant needs to crisp up, and slices that are much thicker will just get soggy.

 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Prep the eggplant while the oven is preheating. Eggplants vary in size, so if using baby eggplant that is 2 inches wide at its widest, just slice into 1⁄8-inch-thick circles. If using large eggplants, first cut in half lengthwise, then slice the halves into 1⁄8-inch-thick half-moons. Now, what we’re going to do is bake it at a high temperature with just a bit of cooking spray, then let it cool, then give it smoky salty flavor and reheat.
  2. Spray the lined baking sheets lightly with cooking spray. Arrange the eggplant pieces in a single layer and spray lightly once more. Place in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, keeping a close eye. Rotate the pans about halfway through baking. Remove from the oven and flip the slices. They should be browning already, and if any are slightly burnt, don’t worry; just transfer them to a plate to cool.
  3. Return the remaining strips to the oven for about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven. The eggplant should be dark brown to burnt in some places, and yellowish white and tender in some places. Transfer to a plate to prevent further baking.
  4. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Mix the soy sauce and liquid smoke together in a large bowl. Dip the eggplant slices in mixture a few at a time and return to the baking sheet. Bake for about 3 more minutes, until heated through. Serve! Keeps well for a few more hours, but definitely use these the day of.

    My favorite comfort meal happens to also be an Isa recipe: the Curried Peanut Bowl with Tofu and Kale (I think that's what it's called in the book!) from Isa Does It. I fell in love with it during testing and I had a hard time moving on to new recipes because I wanted to eat it every night. It's so quick and easy, and totally customizable. I still make it all the time.

I would absolutely LOVE to get my hands on the new VwaV cookbook. That's the only Isa book I've never had, neither the old version or the new one. I hope I win! ? Jen.manriquez@gmail.com

I still cook Isa's recipes at least once a week (usually 3-4 times a week). I LOVE that BLT mac 'n' cheeze with arugula recipe you posted. I usually make it on nights that I work late and just want to veg out with some super easy tasty noms. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

    oh man. it's pretty much impossible to pick a favorite Isa recipe. So many of her recipes have become absolute staples for me. I think my #1 favorite recipe from VWAV though is the Fronch Toast. When I went vegan 15 + years ago, I was prepared to live a french-toast-free life style. And when VWAV came out, and I had that first piece of french toast after 5 years, I went running around the house in circles hooting and hollering. I was so happy and so grateful for that recipe.
