Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Hi all, I wanted to thank everyone who posted such great Smoothie recipes when I asked for smoothies last month. I really appreciate all your great help! Also wanted to pass along a wonderful, positive vegetarian cartoon from Mutts. Go to the following link and scroll to the cartoon from Saturday, September 22: http://www.kingfeatures.com/features/comics/mutts/about.htm And, I wanted to pass along a recipe. This is from THE INTERNATIONAL TOFU COOKERY BOOK by Leah Leneman. I haven't tried this yet but plan to this week - I love Indian food and am always looking for Indian recipes! DAHL WITH TOFU 2 onions 2 - 3 cloves garlic 2 oz. (1/4 cup) vegetable margarine 8 whole cloves 1/2 inch cinnamon stick 2 tsp. cumin seeds 2 tsp. coriander seeds 1 tsp. poppy seeds seeds of 4 cardamons 1 tsp. chili powder 2 tsp. turmeric 8 oz. (1 cup) red lentils 1 1/2 pints (3 3/4 cups) water 8 oz. (1 cup) firm tofu 1 oz. creamed coconut -- I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS -- what is it? Is it vegan? If not, is there a substitute? sea salt to taste brown rice as required Chop the onions. Mince the garlic. Saute in half of the margarine until lightly browned. Put the cloves, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, poppy seeds, and cardamon seeds into a liquidizer or coffee grinder (or food processor) and grind thoroughly. Stir the ground spices into the onion and garlic, along with the chili powder and turmeric. Stir well and cook for a minute or two. Stir in the lentils. Add the water, bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes. Cube the tofu. Saute in the remainder of the margarine until golden. When the lentils have turned into a thick puree, stir in the creamed coconut, the tofu cubes, and salt to taste. Serve over brown rice with mango chutney.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 creamed coconut is thick coconut milk - usually bought in tins from asian supermarkets or the asian section of regular supermarkets. Not sure if it is vegan, but would imagine so.
