4 tsp shoyu (optional)

2 tsp Barley malt syrup

1 ½ tsp Sea salt, or to taste,

1 tsp Thyme, fresh minced (½ tsp dry)

1 tsp Sage, fresh minced (½ tsp dry)

½ tsp Black pepper, ground to taste

½ tsp Crushed red pepper flakes

¼ tsp Cayenne pepper, or to taste

 

Loving preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place potatoes in a large pot with filtered

water. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are soft, approximately

15 minutes. Drain well, place in a large mixing bowl with coconut milk

and mash well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

2. While potatoes are cooking, place oil in a large sauté pan on

medium high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 3 minutes, stirring

frequently. Add carrots, celery, bell pepper and mushrooms, cook for

10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add water if necessary to prevent

sticking. Add tofu and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Place

in a large mixing bowl with remaining ingredients except potatoes and

mix well.

3. Place tofu vegetable mixture in a well oiled 9 " x 13 " casserole

dish. Top with mashed potatoes, using a spatula to create a smooth

surface. Score pretty designs on top with a fork. Bake until slightly

golden brown and completely cooked, approximately 25 minutes. Cool for

10-15 minutes.

 

Serving suggestions: Serve with Mushroom Gravy and a dollop of non-

dairy Sour Crème.

 

Variations : Potato layer may be placed on the bottom, topped with the

tofu layer. Once refrigerated, this creates a more solid foundation,

and allows for different sized pieces to be cut and served

individually.

 

45 min prep / 1 hour 10 min cooking / 9 " x 13 " casserole, serves 6-8
