This is one of those " sort-of " recipes, no real recipe/measurements,

I just made it up.

 

Creamed Un-chicken and Biscuits

 

1 tub of extra-firm tofu, well drained (frozen and thawed is better)

1/2 c diced onions

2 stalks diced celery

1 cup sliced mushrooms (or 1 can drained)

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup diced carrots

1 can cream-of-mushroom soup

milk or soy milk, about one soup can full

Un-chicken broth or veggie broth as needed

Thickener, if needed

 

Dice the tofu and fry it in a little oil until nicely browned and

chewy. Let drain on paper towels and perhaps rub/press to get out

the excess oil. Set aside.

 

In a large pot fry onions in a little oil until they begin to brown.

Add celery, mushrooms, peas and carrots, Add some veggie broth and

cover and cook until veggie dices are mostly tender. Stir in

mushroom soup, soy milk and tofu, and heat through.

Serve over your favorite biscuits.

 

If it seems too thin and watery for your taste, you can thicken it by

adding one of these standard thickeners:

- instant potato flakes

- a mixture of cold water and flour (about 1/3 c to 2-3 Tbsp flour)

- cornstarch and cold water

This sounds very good. I am always so impressed by

people like you who are able to just " make-things-up "

cook. I usually have a recipe card infront of me as a muse

of sorts, then I add or take away/alter it according to my

taste. But I have very rarely just winged it. Bravo to

those of you who can. I think it must be a gift.
