Vegetable Broth

Post by 尼古拉前执事 »

Well normally one would use chicken or beef base/stock, but my local Shop-Rite carries vegetable base/stock, so I am able to use that for broth. On could also use water and add salt and tomato paste and pureed onions and celery to make homemade stock.

BLACK BEANS AND RED PEPPERS (Serves 4)

Black beans are a staple food in Asia and Latin America. They are absolutely wonderful with cumin, and are a good bean for soups. They're also good in dips; so be sure to try them the next time you're making a bean dip. Because of their intense dark color, some pretty garnishes are in order. Here, red peppers provide a flash of color and flavor.

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium red onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 pound red peppers, thinly sliced
3 cups cooked black beans
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Salt and pepper to taste

In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and saut

Shepherd's Pie

Post by 尼古拉前执事 »

Shepherd's Pie

Filling

1/2 cup light, natural oil
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
1 shallot or green onion, finely chopped
1 cup celery, diced
8 cups whole grain bread cubes (1/2" cubes)
2 tsp ground sage
1/2 tsp each marjoram, thyme, celery seed and sea salt
1/4 tsp paprika
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
1 tbsp veggie broth powder
2 cups boiling water

Crust

10 small-medium potatoes, cut into 2" cubes, peeling optional (should yield about 10 cups of potatoes)
1 stalk celery with leaves
1 bay leaf
2 large cloves garlic
3 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup soy milk
1/2 tsp sea salt
freshly ground pepper to taste

Bring potatoes, celery, bay leaf and garlic to a boil together in a large pot filled with water. Simmer, covered, for 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Prepare the stuffing while the potatoes are cooking. Heat the light oil in a large skillet or wok and saut? the onion, shallot or green pepper and celery until veggies begin to soften. Add bread cubes and all seasonings and mix well. Dissolve the veggie broth powder in the 2 cups boiling water and add to the stuffing, mixing well. Steam, covered, over very low heat stirring frequently, for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375. Drain potatoes and remove the bay leaf and celery. Mash the potatoes (with the garlic) with the olive oil and soy milk, sea salt and pepper to taste.

Place stuffing in an oven-proof casserole dish. Top with the mashed potatoes. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until potatoes have formed a golden crust. Serve with vegan gravy of your choice.

Serves 4
