Just yesterday I got Robin Robertson's new book " 1000 Vegan Recipes. " It

would take a long time to get bored with that book!

 

Stop by your local library and see what veg cookbooks they have on the

shelf. That will give you some new optoins.

 

I've listed a few recently on my blog:

This is what I made for dinner.

" Lapskaus " from Norway, my home country, kind of a stew

Traditionally made with meat, but just so much better without =)

8-10 medium white potatoes

4-5 carrots

1 medium rutabaga

1 leek

Peel and chop the vegetables into small chunks, slice leek.

Put everything in a pot together and add a good veg broth till it almost covers

the veggies, or maybe halfway.

Simmer till done

Mash like you would mashed potatoes, some like it chunky others smoother. salt

pepper. Done.

 

My kids and I love this, though not my DH favorite.

The recipe is very forgiving, easy, inexpensive and nice on a cold fall day

The VegNews recipe e-mail had a vegan meatloaf recipe last month. There's a bit

of prep involved but it's a good way to use leftover rice and lentils. My

2-year-old DD and meat-eating boyfriend liked it. I served it with mashed

potatoes and peas or broccoli and it's lasted for several meals. I think it

tastes better after sitting in the frige overnight but it's yummy either way.

 

Vegan Meatloaf

What You Need:

 

1/2 cup tomato paste

3 tablespoons tamari, divided

1 tablespoon dark agave nectar

1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons garlic, minced and divided

4 tablespoons non-hydrogenated margarine, divided

1 cup onion, chopped and divided

1 cup portabello mushrooms, diced into 1/2-inch pieces

1/2 cup celery, diced

1/2 cup carrot, finely diced

3/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 cup cooked brown rice

2 cups cooked French lentils

1-1/2 teaspoons vegan Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, minced

1 tablespoon arrowroot powder

3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs

 

 

What You Do:

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper and

set aside. In a small bowl, combine the tomato paste, 2 tablespoons tamari,

agave, liquid smoke, and 1 tablespoon garlic. Set aside.

 

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons margarine and 1/2 cup

onions. Sauté 5 minutes. Add the portabello mushrooms, and sauté for 7 minutes.

Transfer to a small bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons margarine to the skillet

and sauté celery, carrot, remaining 2 teaspoons garlic, salt, and pepper over

low heat. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 

3. In a food processor, pulse rice and lentils 10 times, then transfer to a

large bowl. In the food processor, pulse cooked vegetables, Worcestershire

sauce, remaining tamari, mustard, parsley, arrowroot, and 1/3 cup of the tomato

topping 10 times, then add vegetable mixture to rice and lentils. Fold in

reserved sautéed onions and mushrooms, breadcrumbs, and the 1/2 cup chopped

onion.

 

4. Press half of the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread the top with

half of the tomato topping. Then, press the rest of the mixture into the pan,

and coat with the remaining tomato topping. Cover with foil and bake for 45

minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes until top is browned. Remove from oven, and

cool for 20 minutes before serving.
