Curried Tofu Stir Fry

1 pkg (300 g) firm tofu (cut into half inch cubes)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp crushed garlic
1 1/2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
2 tbsp curry powder (or to taste)
1 sm. can baby corn
2 medium carrots (sliced)
2 stalks celery (sliced)
1 medium onion (sliced)
1 cup sliced mushrooms

Add half of the oil to a hot wok, add garlic and tofu.

Stir-fry tofu until it is lightly browned and then remove from wok and set aside.

Add remaining oil, stir in onion and cook until tender.

Add carrots and celery, stir at medium high heat for approx. 2 minutes or until tender.

In separate bowl mix hot chicken stock and curry powder. Pour mixture into wok and then add remaining ingredients.

Remember to keep stirring as you bring stir-fry to boil.

Immediately reduce the heat to medium low and simmer covered until all vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

Stir-fry should take less than 15 minutes

Secret: throw in any other vegetables left in your fridge!!!

Serving Suggestion: Pour over basmati rice or eat by itself. If you don’t like tofu you can always alternate with garbanzo beans.

Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie

Traditional Shepherd’s Pie is usually made with ground meat and white potatoes. I like this one because it has sweet potatoes mixed in and omits the meat filling. The curried lentil filling is sandwiched between two layers of creamy potato filling sitting on a crouton crust baked on top of sweet zucchini. You can serve this as an entree with a simple chopped tomato salad.

Makes: 6 servings

2 medium or large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
6 medium or large white potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

CURRIED LENTIL FILLING:
3 1/4 cups purified water
1 bay leaf
1 cup lentils
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 cup sliced onions
2 cloves garlic
1 cup sliced shiitake or button mushrooms
1/2 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup yellow or red bell pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 zucchini, cut in rounds (about 2 cups)
1 cup bread crumbs or premade croutons

GARNISH:
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions or green onion

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop the cubed sweet and white potatoes into the water and simmer for 45 minutes. They should be easily pierced with a fork. Strain the potatoes, reserving 2 cups of the water. Pour 1 cup of the water back into the pot and mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a large fork. Add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, and Cajun seasoning and mash again until seasonings are completely blended into the potatoes.

  3. Meanwhile, cook the lentils: Bring 3 cups of the water to a boil. Add the bay leaf, lentils, and Cajun seasoning and cook for 45 minutes. Remove from heat when completely cooked and let cool briefly. Drain off any liquid.

  4. Saute the onions, garlic, mushrooms, broccoli, and bell peppers in the olive oil in a large sauce pan until the onions are transparent and limp, about 4 minutes. Add the reserved cup of potato water, nutritional yeast, salt, and curry powder and stir until everything is blended in. Add to the cooked lentils. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/4 cup water and stir it into the lentil and vegetable mixture. Continue to cook for 3 more minutes, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

  5. Line the bottom of a casserole dish with the zucchini rounds. Sprinkle half of the bread crumbs or croutons on top of the zucchini. Spoon out 4 cups of the mashed potatoes and spread across the zucchini rounds. Spoon out 2 cups of the curried lentils and spread on top of the potatoes. Spoon the remainder of the mashed potatoes and smooth them out on top. Sprinkle the rest of the bread crumbs and the scallions or green onion on top. Bake for 50 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Vegetarian Chili

In the culture and cuisine of the Southwest, chili is serious business. But contrary to what many believe, good chili doesn’t require “carne” or meat. The key to great chili is knowing how to harness the fiery flavor of a wide range of available chile peppers to make the dish exciting yet edible. (“Chili” commonly refers to the dish made with “chile” peppers.) My favorites are the red New Mexican chile peppers traditionally tied in strings called ristras or available as ground powder, and chipotles which are ripe (red) jalapeños that have been dried and smoked.

Experiment with different amounts until you find a level of intensity you’re comfortable with. Be aware, however, that capsaicin, the active component in chile peppers that gives them their heat, is concentrated in the white tissue attached to the seeds. If you’re using whole chiles, you may want to remove that white tissue if you don’t want your chili too hot.

Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients:

7 1/2 cups cooked beans, like pintos, anasazi, adzuki, or kidney (roughly four 15-oz cans or 1 pound dried beans, cooked)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, diced
1 dried or canned chipotle pepper
1 tablespoon mild red New Mexican chile powder, or to taste
1 tablespoon dried whole oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 large can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes, undrained
5 cloves garlic, mashed
Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnishes:
Chopped raw onion
Chopped tomato
Shredded lettuce
Tortillas

  1. Drain beans in a colander.

  2. Heat oil in a large dutch oven or saucepan. Add the onions and sauté over medium heat until onions are soft and golden.

  3. Crush the chipotle pepper if using dried, or mince if using canned.

  4. Add the chipotle pepper, red chile powder, oregano, cumin and allspice to the onions. Cook for 2 minutes.

  5. Add the tomatoes and beans. Simmer for 45 minutes, adding liquid if the mixture gets too dry.

  6. Add salt and pepper to taste, and more chili if you want a hotter dish.

  7. Serve in bowls with warm tortillas. Garnish with chopped raw onion, chopped tomato, and shredded lettuce.

Vegan Empanadas – Latin American Vegetable Turnovers

This vegan version of the traditional Latin American empanada recipe stuffs savory turnovers with a cumin- and chili-spiced mixture of seitan (wheat gluten) and vegetables. I like to prepare a batch of empanadas in advance and then reheat them for a quick and satisfying lunch.

Serves: 4 (entrée-sized portions) or 8 (appetizer-sized portions)

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup (113 g/80 ml) vegetable shortening
2/3 cup (160 ml) water
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (560 ml)
1 teaspoon salt
1 small boiling potato, peeled and cut in 1/4-inch (6mm) dice
1 medium carrot, peeled and cut in 1/4-inch (6mm) dice
1 stalk celery, cut in 1/4-inch (6mm) dice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 medium-small yellow onion, diced
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 pound (8 oz./227g) seitan (wheat gluten)
6 to 8 green olives, pitted and chopped
2 tablespoons raisins

Cut the shortening into chunks and heat with the water in a small saucepan over medium heat until the shortening has melted.

Combine the flour and salt in a bowl and gradually stir in the water and shortening mixture until incorporated into a smooth dough. If the dough is crumbly, press it together with your hands. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tea towel and let sit for at least an hour at room temperature.

Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the diced potato, carrot and onion and coil until just done – approximately 6-8 minutes. Rinse vegetables under cold water to cool. Drain thoroughly.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cumin, paprika and chili and heat the spices in the oil until they are fragrant and the cumin seeds start to pop.

Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onions are transparent.

Add the seitan and sauté for another 5 minutes or so, or until the seitan starts to brown.

Add the olives, raisins and the drained, cooked vegetables and stir gently to mix.

Remove the filling mixture from the frying pan to a mixing bowl and let cool. You can put the mixture in the freezer for five minutes to speed the cooling if desired.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Assemble the empanadas. Divide the dough into 8 pieces (16 for appetizer-sized portions). Roll out each pieces into a circle 6 to 7 inches (15 to 18 cm) in diameter (5 inches/13 cm for appetizer portions). If the dough is sticking to your work surface, you can roll it out between pieces of wax paper or baking parchment.

Place two tablespoons of the filling mixture (1 tablespoon for appetizer portions) onto the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch (1 cm) of space between the filling and the edge of the dough. Fold the dough over the filling to make a semi-circle shape. Roll the bottom edge of the dough up over the top edge and then press the rolled edges with the tines of a fork to seal.

Place the filled empanadas on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown. (The bottoms will brown before the tops).

Serve hot.

Mushrooms in Savory Sour Cream Sauce

Repost!

This Russian-inspired dish of mushrooms sautéed and served with a creamy sour cream sauce is a perfect accompaniment for kasha or tender, broad egg noodles. For a quick supper, you can even spoon the savory mushroom sauce over slices of toasted wheat or sourdough bread.

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS:

4 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 pound of fresh mushrooms*
1 cup sour cream (or soy-based substitute)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
salt, pepper and sweet paprika to taste

  • Use button mushrooms, wild mushrooms or a combination of button mushrooms with shiitakes, creminis and/or portobello.
    Heat butter in a large skillet over medium high heat until foamy. Add onion and sauté until just starting to turn golden.
    Add mushrooms and continue sautéing until the mushrooms release their juices. Stir in sour cream, soy sauce and seasonings and heat until the mixture begins to simmer.

Serve immediately with kasha or noodles or spoon over slices of toasted wheat bread.

Roquefort Popovers

Popovers and blue cheese are naturals in their own right with beef, but when combined into one, the results are incredible. This recipe is not complicated but it must be made and served at the last minute to ensure the best results. If you are not a fan of blue cheese, try using a crumbly goat cheese in its place.

Yield: 12 popovers

Ingredients:

Vegetable oil, shortening, or lard for the pans
1 1/2 cups whole milk
6 oz Roquefort cheese, crumbled
1 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper
9 oz (2 cups) all-purpose flour
6 large eggs

1 Set the oven rack to its lowest position in the oven. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously grease 12 popover tins (preferably nonstick) with oil, shortening, or lard (butter won’t work).

2 In a small saucepan, warm the milk and cheese over medium-low heat until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and whisk in the salt and pepper. (You can also melt the cheese in the milk in a glass measuring cup in the microwave on low power for 1 min.)

3 Put the flour in a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk mixture until just combined; it’s fine if the batter is a bit lumpy. Add the eggs one at a time to the batter, whisking well after each addition. Pour the batter into the prepared tins and bake on the lowest shelf for 20 min. at 400 degrees F. Don’t open the oven, but reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to bake another 15 min. until the popovers are browned and fully puffed. Remove the popovers from the oven and immediately take them out of the tin to keep them from getting soggy. Poke each popover with a knife to release steam. Serve immediately or reheat just before serving.
