-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 tablespoons safflower oil

1 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped celery

1 clove garlic -- minced

1 medium green bell pepper -- chopped

1 can peeled tomatoes (28 ounces) -- chopped

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 teaspoon file powder -- (see Note)

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

4 ounces tempeh

4 ounces prepared seitan -- cut into 1-inch

4 ounces soy sausage links -- cut into 1-inch

In large pot, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery,

garlic and bell pepper. Cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato

paste, file powder, salt, parsley and hot pepper sauce. Stir, cover and simmer

20 minutes. If sauce becomes too thick, add 1/2 cup water. Meanwhile, poach

tempeh in small amount of water for 10 minutes. (Or steam tempeh in metal

steamer.) Drain and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in

large skillet over medium-high heat. Add seitan, soy sausage and tempeh and

cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Stir meat alternatives into sauce and

cook 5 minutes. Serve over rice. Makes 6 servings. Note: File powder is a

seasoning made from the dried leaves of the sassafras tree. It has a woodsy

flavor, reminiscent of root beer and is used mostly in Creole and Cajun cooking.
