Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 Recipe from regina_bee 5 Star Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Ingredients: * 1 pkg. firm or soft silken tofu(I use firm to make a more decadent texture, similar to cheesecake) * 1 pkg of vegan chocolate chips (Tropical Source makes really appropriate chocolate-peanutbutter chips) * soy milk (at least a cup will be used) * powered sugar (1 box) * peanut butter (preferably a natural blend) * graham cracker crust (you can make an easy one with vegan marg. and crushed graham * crackers) Directions: Put the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat them for a few minutes. It is very crucial that you watch carefully and stir to avoid burning. You don't want the chips to be completely soupy liquid, you are going for a more molten melted effect. Put the chocolate in your blender where, as waiting for the chocolate, is the slightly broken up silken tofu (which you already pressed to get rid of excess juice). The next process must be done quick as to avoid the hardening that the chips like to do. Have your soy milk container open and near the blender to pour in when the mixture is too thick to stir, but don't add too much. You want a thick pudding when the blending of the chocolate and tofu, with a little soy milk, is finished. It should be basically pourable, so go ahead and pour it into your crust. Place in the fridge for 30 mins. While the chocolate pie is setting up, melt about a cup of peanut butter in the microwave. Stir in some of the powered sugar until thick, then add some soy milk, then add some powered sugar and so on. Continue this process until you have a sweet, thick peanut butter paste that is not too sticky. Carefully spread the peanut butter mixture on top of the pie. There should be enough that it becomes the top layer of the pie. Let it set for about 3 hours. It will be like a cheesecake and wonderfully rich. Serves: 8 Preparation time: 30 min. -- Recipe from My Mom TinkerBelle09089 Betsy's Potato Goulash Ingredients: * about 4 large baking potatoes * 2 small yellow squash * salt to taste * 1 green tomatoe * fresh, canned, or frozen cut okra * 1 Tbsp cornmeal * salt and pepper to taste * oil for frying Directions: Cut potatoes into about 1/2 inch cubes. The smaller they are cut the better. Add yellow squash (one will do, you can really just add it to suit your own taste). Add one green tomatoe chopped into about 1/2 inch cubes (if they do not sell them in your part of the country you can leave them out). Add about 1/2 cup of sliced fresh, frozen or canned okra, and one Tbsp of white or yellow cornmeal. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix it all up. Preheat vegetable oil until it is very hot. Fry, or sautee mixture until soft or golden brown. Tastes great and is very versatile. Serves: 4 Preparation time: 20minutes -- -- Recipe from a college friend sharky8mup Coconut Curry Stew Ingredients: * 3 cups cooked brown rice * curry powder * 1 small bag dried or two cans cooked kidney beans * 1 green pepper * 1 large onion * 2 cans coconut milk (unsweetened) * salt and pepper to taste * olive oil * 1 tomato * 1/2 cup water Directions: If kidney beans are dried, soak overnight and cook in fresh water for 1 hour before adding to recipe. Slice peppers and onions lenghtwise. In a large soup pot saute onions in olive oil and some curry powder (I like to use alot and buy curry in bulk from the local Indian grocery store). Add peppers (and more olive oil and/or curry powder if needed) when onions start to get soft. Add tomatoes when other veggies begin to brown. Soon after adding tomatoes, add coconut milk, cooked brown rice (make sure it is very thoroughly cooked), cooked kidney beans, and water and simmer for 30 minutes. You may need to add more water, as this soup can get very thick very quickly. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve. This stuff is very filling!!! My family loves it, and the leftovers get spicier and spicier. Serves: 8 Preparation time: 1 hr -- Recipe from Bunnicula Don't Need No Stinkin Cheese French Bread Pizza Ingredients: * 1 large unsliced loaf of sourdough french bread * 1/2 tub of tofutti better than sour cream * 2-3 cloves garlic * pizza seasoning to taste * Earth Balance spread (margarine like spread) * frozen spinach, thawed and well pressed * thinly sliced red onion * sliced mushrooms * olives * marinated artichoke hearts * whatever other toppings you like Directions: In a food processor whizz together the sour cream substitute, garlic, pizza seasoning, and half of the marinade from the artichoke hearts, until smooth and about the consistency of ranch dressing (don't try using ranch dressing, I tried it, and rather than that nice cheesy type flavor and rich sauce, it tasted like...well, hot ranch dressing), set aside. Slice the loaf of bread in half, and then split both halves through the middle. Spread each piece with Earth Balance, and then a small amount of the Ranch type dressing. Top with the spinach, and red onion, and drizzle with more sauce. Make a new layer of olives, and mushrooms, and drizzle more sauce, and top with artichoke hearts and whatever else, and you guessed it...drizzle with the remaining sauce. Bake on a cookie sheet at 350: for 12-15 minutes, until the sauce forms a brown skin over it. I don't know what I did, but my husband SWORE there had to be cheese in the sauce, and now gets all sparkly eyed when I say I'm making it :-) Serves: 4 Preparation time: 30 mins -- Recipe from Bunnicula Falafel Hoagies Ingredients: * 1 package fantastic foods falafel * 4 hoagie rolls * vegan ranch dressing * sandwich veggies (optional): * tomato * lettuce * onion * pickle * whatever else you like Directions: Prepare falafel according to box directions, forming mixture into 8 2 inch long, 1/2 inch thick patties, rather than balls. Fry until brown, turn, and fry the other side, drain well on paper towel. Coat top half of hoagie rolls with ranch dressing, place two patties on bottom half, and top with desired sandwich veggies. Serves: 4 Preparation time: 25 mins -- Recipe from Jessica [j3ssica] Jessica's Hardcore Banana Nut Muffins Ingredients: * 1 cup flour of your choice * 1/2 cup oatmeal or wheat germ * 1/4 to 1/2 cup Sucanat or sugar * 2 teaspoons baking powder * 1 egg replacer [powder goes with dry ingredients, liquid goes with wet ingredients] * 3/4 cup soy milk * 1/4 cup cooking oil * 3 medium-size bananas, mashed * 1 handful or so of walnuts, however much you like * 1 Tablespoon or so of cinnamon [optional] Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease muffin tins. Stir together the flour, oats, sugar [adjust the amount depending on how sweet you like muffins], baking powder, walnuts, cinnamon, and the egg-powdery-stuff (if you add the dry), in a big mixing bowl. Be sure to mix the egg replacer powder really well - otherwise you'll end up with crunchy egg-replacer bits in your muffins. Not cool at all. In another bowl, peel and slice the bananas. Now mash those suckers with a potato masher or a couple forks. Put in the egg replacer liquid (if using the liquid instead of the dry), milk and cooking oil, and mix it up. Then dump this stuff into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, not too long - you know the drill. Then spoon the stuff into 12 muffin cups about three quarters full. Bake 'em for about 20 minutes, or until they just start to brown and look done. These ROCK. Serves: 12 Preparation time: 20 minutes -- Recipe from Marie-Claire Ross/marie-claire Marie-Claire's Bean and Barley Soup Ingredients: * 1-1/4 cup soup mix (or equal parts of barley, red lentils, yellow split peas, green split peas) soaked overnight * 1/4 to 1/2 cup dulse or shredded kelp/kombu * 6 cups water * 1/2 cup green beans, topped and tailed * 1/4 red cabbage, sliced * 2 stalks celery, with leaves, chopped * 1 garlic clove, crushed * 1 inch piece of ginger, finely chopped * 1 onion or 1/4 teaspoon of asafoetida powder * salt and pepper to taste Directions: Drain soup mix.
