[Guest guest]

These are the recipes from the newsletter that fraggle posted. Does anyone know what slat is?

 

This is our recommended Vegan Thanksgiving Menu. Please feel free to comment or share your favorites. 1) Tofurky roast 2) Mashed potatoes and Gravy 3) "Stuffing" 4) Yams with Cranberries and apples (optional) 5) Pumpkin Pie The Tofurky roast is easy - that can be purchased at most natural food stores, and sometimes the larger Safeway stores even carry them. Optionally, you could choose to use a simple baked squash as a centerpiece instead of a Tofurky roast. Mashed Potatoes and Gravy from The Peaceful Palate by Jennifer Raymond 4 lg potatoes, peeled & diced 1 1/2 c water 1/2 tsp slat 1/2 c soymilk 1 tbsp margarine 2 tbsp margarine 1/2 c chopped onion 1 c sliced mushrooms 2 tbsp flour 2 tsp soy sauce 1/4 tsp black pepper Place potatoes

in kettle with water and 1/4 tsp salt. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and reserve liquid. Mash the potatoes, then add salt, soymilk, and margarine. Cover and set aside. In a large skillet, saute onions and mushrooms until onions are soft and transparent. Stir in flour; the mixture will be quite dry. Whisk in cooking liquid from potateos, then add soy sauce and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat until thickened. Serve over mashed potatoes. Serves 6. For stuffing, I find this veggie pate recipe has all the seasonings associated with Thanksgiving and tastes alot like stuffing. "Stuffing" or Veggie Pate This recipe from Vegetarian Tastes of Toronto by Toronto Vegetarian Assoc. is called "Veggie Pate" but it reminds us more of stuffing! Yum. 1.5 cups sunflower seeds .5 cup whole wheat flour .5 cup nutritional yeast

flakes 2 tbsp lemon juice 1 raw potato, grated small red onion, diced or 4 green onions, sliced 1 stalk celery, diced 1 carrot, grated 2 tbsp oil 1.5 cups warm water 2 tsp sage

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp basil

salt/pepper to taste

Unless you have a food processor, you'll get a workout! Dice/grate the ingredients as needed, grind sunflower seeds, then mix with remaining liquids, flour, and seasonings. For the herbs, we like 2 tsp sage, 1 tsp ea. thyme & basil, and salt/pepper to taste. Bake at 350F for 1 hour until golden brown. Let cool. Pumpkin Pie Another recipe from Peaceful Palate, one of our favorite vegan cookbooks 1 1/2 cups soymilk 4 tbsp cornstarch OR 3 tbsp agar flakes 1/2 cups cooked pumpkin 1/2 cup turbinado sugar or other sweetener 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp ginger 1/8 tsp cloves We usually use cornstarch but this can also be done with agar flakes. Here's the instructions: Preheat oven to 375 If using cornstarch: In a large bowl, whisk together soymilk and cornstarch until smooth, then blend in

remaining ingredients. If using agar: Combine soymilk and agar in a saucepan and let stand 5 minutes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and ook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining ingredients and blend well. Then, pour into an unbaked 9-inch pie shell. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. We usually use a premade crust, like Keebler crusts or if we're at a natural food store, we'll buy a more wholesome crust. Yams with Cranberries and Applies from The Peaceful Palate My friends who love cranberries and yams love this dish. 4 lg yams, peeled 1 lg green apple, peeled & diced 1 c raw cranberries 1/2 c raisins 2 tbsp turbinado sugar or other sweetener 1-2 tbsp margarine 1/2 c orange juice Cut peeled yams into 1-inch chunks and place in a large baking dish. Top with diced apple, cranberries, and raisins. Sprinkle with sugar or other sweetener, dot with

margarine, then pour orange juice over all. Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until yams are tender when pierced with a fork. Serves 6 to 8.fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote:
