Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

2 packages bean curd stick (at Asian markets -- (8-ounce)

don't

confuse it withbean curd sheets)

2 tablespoons warm melted margarine

1/4 cup peanut butter -- (or more)

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

2 tablespoons miso paste

2 teaspoons paprika

2 cups barbecue sauce

 

Soak bean curd stick in warm water 4 to 6 hours. When bean curd has

softened, drain, squeezing out excess water, and cut into 4- to 6-inch

lengths. In large bowl, mix together margarine, peanut butter, nutritional

yeast, miso and paprika to form a paste. If mixture is too thick, add 1

teaspoon of water at a time to thin it.

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add bean curd ``ribs'' to paste and mix

together, coating thoroughly. Place ``ribs'' side by side on large baking

sheet and bake 25 minutes, turning them so they bake evenly, until bottoms

are crisp and brown.

 

Remove from oven and brush with barbecue sauce. Return ``ribs'' to oven and

bake 10 to 15 minutes longer. From ``The PETA Celebrity Cookbook'' (Lantern

Books, $20) ARTICLE: Vegetarian cookbook gets to the meat of what's `meat'

By Carolyn Jung Mercury News: Even vegetarians can have their ``meat and

potatoes.''

In ``The Vegetarian Meat & Potatoes Cookbook'' (Harvard Common Press,

$16.95), a former chef and vegetarian cooking instructor, Robin Robertson,

serves up vegetarian fare as hearty and stick-to-your-ribs as any comfort

food.

Whip up 275 meat-free recipes for burgers, steaks, chilis, casseroles, pot

pies, curries, pizza and pasta. After all, Robertson explains, the word

``meat'' originally meant ``meal.''

``Not long ago,'' she writes, ``it was correct to `sit at meat' when it was

time for dinner. When you get up from the table, having enjoyed a nutritious

vegetarian meal, you may consider yourself `well-meated.' ''

With her book, indeed you can. (x-posted)

19th annual ``Great American Meatout,'' dedicated to getting people to try

eating vegetarian, at least for that day. For more information, go to

``ribs'' (see recipe, left) from ``The PETA Celebrity Cookbook'' (Lantern

Books, $20). For more information about veganism, go to www.goveg.com.
