Curry Sautee

 

Ingredients:

 

+ 1 onion

+ 1/2 - 1 c. sliced mushrooms (I like baby bella)

+ 1/2 - 1 c. snow peas

+ 1/2 - 1 c. broccoli florettes

+ 1/2 c. celery

+ 1/2 - 1 c. chopped zucchini or green squash

+ oil or veggie broth to sautee

+ 1 - 2 Tbsp curry paste (to taste)

+ 1 - 2 tsp. cinnamon (to taste)

+ 1/2 - 1 package firm tofu

+ 1 cup brown rice (basmati works very well)

 

Directions:

 

Cook rice per package instructions (can take up to 45 minutes,

so be prepared).

 

Sautee onion in oil or broth until rich in color. Add in

mushrooms and sautee until tender. Add in snow peas and

broccoli and sautee until bright green in color, sautee in

celery, then the zucchini. stir in 1 tbsp curry paste for

milder flavor or 2 tbsp (or more) if you like it spicey. If the

paste seems difficult to stir in add a few tablespoons of water

or veggie broth. Add cinnamon to taste (adds a little

sweetness). Drain and Cube the tofu and fold in carfully. Let

simmer for a few minutes and serve over rice.

 

This dish goes great with a cool Mango Lassi!

 

Serves: 2-4

 

Preparation time: 30 - 45 mins.

PB & C Pie

 

Ingredients:

 

+ 1 box silken tofu (regular or soft)

+ equal amount of peanut butter (about 3/4 to 1 cup)

+ about 1/4 cup maple syrup (or more to taste)

+ pinch of cinnamon

+ Graham cracker pie crust*

+ TOPPING:

+ 1/4 cup peanut butter

+ 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

+ 2 or 3 Tbs. vegan margarine

 

Directions:

 

*If you make your own pie crust, you need about 1/2 box graham

crackers, 1/4 cup vegan margarine, and a bit of sugar and

cinnamon to taste (unless the graham crackers are already sweet

enough)

 

Blend the tofu, peanut butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon. The

mixture tends to be somewhat thick for a blender, so I usually

do it a bit at a time (maybe a quarter of the mix at once), or

use one of those hand held things. Scrape it into the graham

cracker crust (recipe to follow). In a saucepan, melt together

all of the topping ingredients over low heat, stirring

constantly (it's easy to burn, be careful!). Spread the topping

over the pie, and refrigerate until set!

 

PIE CRUST: Crush the graham crackers using a plastic baggie and

a rolling pin. Mix in melted margarine and sugar/ cinnamon. The

mixutire should be crumbly. Press into an 8 inch pie pan. I

have never actually measured out this recipe, I do it by sight

so the measurements may be a little off, but it SHOULD be

pretty much right on. Enjoy!

 

Serves: 6?

 

Preparation time: 30 min

Violet's Rosemary Stew

 

Ingredients:

 

+ 1 yellow onion

+ 1 c. broccoli florettes

+ 1 c. sliced baby bella mushrooms

+ oil or veggie broth to sautee

+ 1 large can stewed tomato (peeled)

+ 1 can kidney beans (light or dark)

+ 1 can corn

+ 2 tsp. dried rosemary (or chopped fresh)

+ 2 tsp. dried thyme leaves

 

Directions:

 

Sautee onion on medium-high flame in oil or broth until the

onions have a rich color. Add in the broccoli until bright

green in color, then add the mushrooms until tender. Add in the

can of tomato (drain liquid for thicker consistency or keep

liquid for a soupier consistency), kidney beans (drained) and

corn (drained). Stir in the rosemary (chop if using fresh) and

the thyme. Lower the flame, cover and let simmer for 10-15

minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve.

 

***Tip*** Store in the fridge or freezer - just add a small can

of stewed tomato when re-heating (tomato loses it's flavor when

refrigerated).

 

Serves: 2-4

 

Preparation time: 30 Mins.
