Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

2 Tablespoons olive oil

- (any vegetable oil is okay)

2 Tablespoons minced garlic cloves

3 Tablespoons flour

1 cup soy milk

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 cup cubed firm tofu or Tempeh

 

(makes 2 hearty servings)

 

This dish is guaranteed to keep vampires away. Use this as a sandwich

stuffing (good hot or cold) or serve over cooked noodles (how about

spinach or carrot pasta), steamed rice, or over a baked potato.

 

In a medium-sized frying pan, heat oil. Add garlic and sauté until

garlic is lightly browned. Remove from heat and whisk in flour to

make a paste.

 

Heat soymilk in a microwave or in a small pot until bubbly. Slowly

add paste to soymilk, whisking, to form a smooth sauce, over low

heat, approximately 5 minutes. Add tofu or tempeh and allow dish to

cook for 3-4 minutes, until heated.

 

Note: You can try flavored tofu or tempeh, such as barbecue, smoked,

or Cajun to add even more flavor.
