Categories : Side

Soyfoods

Vegan

 

Amount Measure

Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

 

6

medium yukon gold potatoes -- peeled and cut into 1/4-inch

slices

 

3

garlic cloves -- peeled and finely minced

3 tablespoons

extra-virgin olive oil

sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup

plain soy milk -- (optional)

 

In a large saucepan, place the potatoes and add enough water to cover.

Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and

cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the

potatoes and return them to the pot. In a small bowl, mix together the

garlic, oil, salt and pepper to taste, then add them to the potatoes.

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher to make a fairly smooth puree. If

a creamier texture is desired, add the soy milk. Serve immediately.

 

Variations: For wasabi mashed potatoes, omit the garlic and add a

teaspoon of wasabi paste. For rich, buttery mashed potatoes add a few

tablespoons of Soy Garden or Earth’s Balance buttery spread.

Amount Measure

Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

 

1

cup garlic cloves -- peeled

 

1

cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup

balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup

sherry wine vinegar or red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon

white miso

2 tablespoons

minced fresh thyme -- or

1

teaspoon dried oregano

 

1

pinch grated nutmeg

1

teaspoon sea salt

2

teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

 

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

 

Put the peeled garlic cloves in a baking dish and cover with the olive

oil. Cover the dish with foil and roast approximately 25 minutes, or

until golden brown. When cool enough to handle, remove the garlic with a

slotted spoon and transfer to a blender. Reserve the roasted garlic oil

for another use (see note).

 

Add 1/2 cup water, the vinegars, miso, thyme or oregano, nutmeg, salt,

and pepper and blend until smooth. Add a bit more water if necessary. The

dressing will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for up to a week. Note:

The reserved roasted garlic oil will keep in a covered container for up

to a week. Use it to drizzle over pasta, vegetables, and salad greens.

It’s also excellent when used in sautés and stir-fries.
