Green Rice 2 cups cooked (in veggie broth) brown rice 1 package frozen chopped spinach 1 onion chopped Small amount of olive oil Handful chopped pecans or almonds, salt (if needed, veggie broth is usually salty enough) & pepper Cook rice. Cook spinach and drain. Saute onion in a small amount of olive oil until translucent. Add spinach and cook briefly until flavors blend. Add spinach mixture to rice, add seasoning and nuts for crunch and a nutritious boost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I've made this a few times. Even my omni husband eats it. Tofu and Spinach Vegetarian Lasagna ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8 servings (from " Frozen Assets Lite & Easy " by Deborah Taylor-Hough) Sauce: 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup green pepper, chopped 1/2 cup onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 bay leaves, crushed 1 teaspoon basil 1 (16-oz.) can tomato sauce 1 (8-oz) can tomato paste 2 additional cups water Filling: 1 pound medium tofu 2 bunches fresh spinach (or 10-oz. package frozen spinach) 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon dried basil pinch of sage 1 (16-oz.) package lasagna noodles, uncooked To prepare sauce, in large saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water, green pepper, onion and garlic. Heat to boiling. Turn down heat to medium-low and simmer until soft, stirring frequently. Stir in crushed bay leaves, basil, tomato sauce, tomato paste and 2 cups water. Simmer for 15 minutes. To prepare filling, rinse fresh spinach in cold water. Cut off thick stems. Keep the water clinging to the leaves. Place in large stockpot. Heat covered over high heat, stirring frequently until spinach is soft. Drain spinach and squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside. Drain tofu slightly (don't squeeze out excess water). Place in blender container or food processor. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape sides of container frequently. Spoon blended tofu into mixing bowl. Add spinach, oregano and basil. Mix well. To assemble, spread 1 cup sauce over bottom of 9x13-inch pan. Top with 1/3 of the uncooked noodles, then 1 more cup of sauce. Spoon the tofu mixture by dollops over top of sauce. Add a second layer of noodles, followed by 1 cup sauce, and then spooning in the remaining tofu mixture. Add a third layer of noodles, pressing down firmly all over the lasagna. Spoon the remaining sauce over noodles, making sure that the noodles are completely covered with sauce. If preparing to freeze for eating later: wrap, label and freeze. To serve: If frozen ahead, thaw completely. Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake covered for 40 minutes. Uncover lasagna and continue baking 15 more minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Cut into squares to serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
