This tasty cacciatore was quick and easy to throw together, and really highlights the fresh & bright flavor of the ingredients. we used our own homegrown rosemary & parsley, subbed veggie broth (low sodium) for the wine,and added a pinch of hot pepper flakes. Instead of pasta we ate this over basmati. Next time, I'd add maybe a tsp of (vegan) worcestershire, some bell pepper, and would also carmelize the onions rather than just sauteeing briefly, to add a greater depth of flavor. The tomato gravy was delicious but thin, so if you like a thicker gravy, you might add something... nutritional yeast, or some corn flour, either would do it. light & completely filling.
Tofu Cacciatore - originally from http://www.vegcooking.com/recipeshow.asp?RequestID=59
1 lb. firm tofu
1 tsp. olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp. tomato paste
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 cup canned tomatoes, chopped (or 2 fresh tomatoes, chopped)
1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine or low-salt vegetable broth
1 tsp. dried parsley (or 1/4 c. fresh!)
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary (or 1 tsp fresh)
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. black pepper
pinch of hot pepper flakes, or to taste
• Cut the tofu into 1/2" thick slabs and dry-fry* by cooking on a no-stick skillet about 10 minutes per side, then remove from heat. Cut into 1/2" square cubes.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carmelize the onion by cooking low and slow for at least 20 minutes (original recipe had you sautee for just 2 minutes, which works - but this is better). Add garlic for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
• Add the tomato paste, broth, tomatoes, mushrooms, wine or broth, herbs, salt, and spices and stir until thoroughly blended. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring often.
• Add the tofu squares and continue to simmer (about 10 minutes) until the tofu is heated through. Serve with pasta or rice.
Makes 4 servings
* You don't need to press this - that's part of the genius of it - and you do not need to use oil. We started doing this after I saw this recipe and have never looked back! It's true - tofu cooked this way soaks up sauces and marinades like nobody's business, and saves on fat. We use a small Foreman grill to do this. Its nonstick grill does a great job on both sides at once.

Chickpea pot pie with a chickpea flour crust
This was definitely one of the tastiest non-Indian dinners we've had lately! We got the potpie recipe off one site and the crust recipe from another.
Pot pie I found we needed to add in 2 more tablespoons of besan flour & 1 of cornstarch. We also substituted one medium-sized potato for the noodles. This has the BEST gravy!
Crust 1 1/2 times this recipe made enough dough for 7 individual pot pies - and we now have 5 of them in the freezer for later. I love doing that for busy or lazy times.
We found this completely filling but I do think a green salad or other green leafy side would add to it.

Marinara Recipe
Makes ~ 4 cups
Gluten free, soy free, 30 minutes
1/4 cup olive oil (I reduce this to maybe 1 tablespoon - you might try to see what suits your taste)
1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
Fresh black pepper to taste
24 oz can crushed tomatoes (may be 28 oz can- one large can, or two small will work)
1/2 teaspoon salt (I usually omit this, the tomatoes and olives are salty enough for us)
Zest of one lemon
Preheat a 2 qt pot over medium low heat. Add the olives and garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add thyme, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), black pepper and sauté a minute more. Add tomatoes and salt (if using) and stir. Cover pot, leaving a little gap for steam to escape and cook for 10 minutes. Add lemon zest, stir, and serve!

Spicy sweet dipping sauce
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Hot-and-Sweet-Dipping-Sauce/Detail.aspx
this is the one! full of sugar, but it doesn't take much at all.
makes 4 servings - actually it makes much more than that. how often do YOU need 1/4 c of dipping sauce? 1/8 c would be more like it. this worked well with the pot stickers I made.
Ingredients
* 1/2 cup rice vinegar
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 teaspoons dried red pepper flakes
Directions
1. Bring the vinegar to a boil in a small, non-reactive pot, and mix in sugar until dissolved. Reduce heat to low, simmer 5 minutes, and remove from heat. Mash the garlic and salt into a smooth paste, and mix into the pot. Stir in the red pepper flakes. Cool to room temperature before using, or store up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

Bhindi Masala
We went out for Mike's birthday last week to Kokila, a very good Indian restaurant specializing in Southern cuisine, and while I loved my dishes, his bhindi masala was just superb. Hopefully this one comes close!
Followup: Oh yeah. This was GREAT! I've never liked okra, but this rocked!
Copied with slight variations from this wonderful blog
1 lb bhindi (okra)
1 medium yellow onion
1-2 ripe tomatoes, (1 is enough if it is large)
2-3 T oil
1/8th tsp black mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp fennel seeds
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
¼ tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp amchoor (dried raw mango powder)
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt, or to taste
2 T chopped cilantro, optional
Clean okra with a damp towel, and after it is completely dry, slice into thin rounds, discarding the ends. Slice the onion thinly and dice the tomato finely.
In a large wok, heat the oil, and add mustard seeds. When they start to pop, add cumin and fennel seeds, followed by onion, and saute for a minute. Add turmeric and okra and saute till it starts to change color slightly. Let it cook for a few minutes, then add the tomatoes and chili powder, and continue to stir-fry on medium-low heat until everything is cooked together, which takes 5-10 minutes depending on the okra. At the end, add salt, and the remaining spices, and keep cooking for a few more minutes on low heat, stirring if required. Add cilantro.

Mango chicken curry with rice
I've been searching for a curry my mother used to make for a very long time. However, the base of it was a KnorrSwiss curry mix that isn't available any more (believe me, I've tried to find this!) and Mom added to it with curry powder she'd gotten in Johannesburg, asking a friend to bring some back for her, after we moved elsewhere. The curry used mutton or chicken, and stewed all day long in its sweet/savory sauce. It was served over rice with lots of 'sambal' accompaniments - chopped peanuts, tomatoes, bell pepper, raisins, onion, mango chutney. Now obviously, I'm not going to make a real chicken curry, but there is a new product on the market that's astoundingly similar to chicken - gardein. The texture is so very like chicken that with the right treatment it's a perfectly satisfactory replacement - otherwise, I think I'd use chickpeas, potatoes, or dry-fried tofu pieces in its place.
I found the following recipe here and got rather excited to see if it might be the same (or similar) to that early favorite of mine - in fact, it's what I used to beg for as a birthday dinner, year after year! I'll paste it in, with my changes:
Mango Chicken Curry Recipe
Ingredients
* 3 Tbsp (or more) of vegetable oil
* 1 large onion, chopped (1 1/2 to 2 cups)
* 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 2 Tbsp fresh minced ginger
* 2 Tbsp yellow curry powder
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
* 2 mangos, peeled and diced
* 2 Tbsp cider vinegar or white vinegar
* 1 1/4 cup water
* 4 gardein 'chicken' breasts, rinsed and dried, chopped in 1" cubes, or 1 container of tofu, cubed and dry-fried.
* 1/3 cup golden raisins
* 1/2 cup coconut milk
* Salt and pepper
* Cilantro for garnish
Method
1 Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and another tablespoon of oil, cook for a couple more minutes. Add the curry powder and cumin, cook for a few more minutes. The spices will absorb some of the oil, so if anything begins to stick too much to the bottom of the pan, add a little more oil to the pan. Add the ginger and garlic, cook for one minute more.
2 Add the vinegar, water, and a 1/2 of the chopped mango to the pan. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to maintain a low simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat. Scoop the sauce into a blender. Purée the sauce, pulsing until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan.
3 Add Gardein pieces and raisins to the pan. Return to a low simmer. Cover the pan and let cook for 8-10 minutes.
4 Add remaining mango pieces to the pan. Stir in the cream. Let cook at a very low temperature for another minute or two, uncovered. Do not let boil! Or the cream may curdle. Adjust seasonings. If a little too sweet, add a little more vinegar. If not sweet enough, you can add a dash of sugar. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over rice. Garnish with cilantro. Serves 4.

Tofu pot pie
This recipe was cobbled together from several others, and ended up being really good - as someone has said, pot pie's one of those all-forgiving recipes. Much credit to Vaishy, whose terrific pastry crust recipe we used, and to Susan, whose recipe supplied an herbal template for the filling - though I went my own way with how it went together, being somewhat short of time after a trip to a used bookstore! As an added note, I really wish stores would not use lard by default in their premade crusts. When we realized we'd be running late, I suggested getting one of those Pillsbury crusts, which are so great to work with - but none of those, nor any of the store brands, used anything but lard.
Pie crust
(original here):
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tbsp transfat-free vegetable shortening
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried herbs (Vaishy used rosemary and thyme; we used thyme, sage, onion powder, and poultry seasoning to go with the filling)
Mix together all the ingredients. Cut the shortening into the flour with a fork until no large lumps remain. Add just enough cold water and stir with a fork to mix. When the dough comes together, divide into two balls, wrap in plastic wrap, and put in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
Filling
original here
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 ribs celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice
4 cloves garlic, minced
-- saute these veggies in a little olive oil (about 1 tsp) til fragrant and just a bit brown, set aside
8 ounces portabellas
-- slice mushrooms. place in hot covered pan (I use my heavy cast iron for this) medium-high 'til mushrooms lose their liquid and become quite fragrant. set aside.
2 large carrots, diced
1 L potato, cut into 1/2-inch dice
-- boil in water sufficient to cover for 10 minutes, drain and mix with other veggies.
1 package extra-firm tofu
-- cube and dry-fry to lightly brown and let some water cook out. mix with veggies, set aside.
1 1/2 c veg broth
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper -- or to taste
1 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
-- bring to boil, simmer for around 10 minutes. remove bay leaves, then thicken by removing some of the hot broth and mixing it with the cornstarch slurry mentioned below.
6 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 4 tablespoons water
I found it still wasn't thick enough so ended up adding besan (chickpea) flour. Make sure you let the thickened mix cook for a few minutes, then remove from heat & stir in the last few ingredients.
1 cup frozen peas
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon mellow white miso
Assembly
Use deep-dish pan. fill crust and bake at 400 for 40 minutes or until top crust is brown and filling is bubbly. Remove from oven, let rest for 10 minutes.

hot dog!
Following a ppk post on variations for vegan sausage, I'd like to try these hot dog spice mixes. The idea is to amend Isa's sausage recipe in the (highly recommended!*) Vegan Brunch cookbook with the alternative spices.
FRANKFURTERS/HOTDOGS (1)
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp garlic powder or granules
½ tsp white pepper
½ tsp ground celery seeds
½ tsp mace (can sub nutmeg)
1/2 to 1 tbsp prepared mustard
FRANKFURTERS/HOTDOGS (2)
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder or granules
¼ tsp ground coriander
¼ tsp mace (can sub nutmeg)
¼ tsp marjoram
½ tsp ground mustard seeds
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp white pepper
2 tsp sugar
* The tofu scramble recipe in this book is our favorite so far - and in fact, I made it and shared it with my omni family Christmas morning, along with homemade pumpkin cinnamon rolls - everyone thought both were great! Also, the bagel recipe is one I've been using weekly & have done countless variations on - there's a batch of cinnamon-raisin bagels in the breadmaker right now, in fact. I made people bagels as gifts, giving each family 2 little bags with a total of 8 bagels, 2 of each kind: cinnamon raisin, pumpkin pie with walnuts, sundried tomato, and carmelized onion. I don't add extra sugar, just the spices, and that worked out really well.

Awesome Hoppin' John
Mike found a great recipe that he amended for our dinner tonight, and ate over some leftover basmati, plus a collard tester recipe for Isa (which will become a new favorite). You'll find the original recipe for the hoppin' john here, but here's how it was amended:
Adams Hoppin' John & changes
2 tablespoons safflower or other light oil
1 medium chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 - 14 1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes (Italian style w/basil & oregano)
for future efforts: add at least 1/2 can of tomato sauce to make sauce thicker.
1 - standard size can of Rotel (probably abt. 9 oz but I'm too lazy to check this)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bag cook-ready black-eyed peas (cooked in pressure cooker for 9 minutes using quick-release method; you could use 2 cans of b.e.peas instead)
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp vegan worcestershire sauce
1 tsp chopped chipotle with about 1 tsp adobo sauce from the can
Directions:
Heat oil in a very large skillet. Add the onions and saute over low heat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to saute until the onions are golden. Add the tomatoes and herbs and cook until tomatoes have softened a bit, about 5 minutes. Add peas & stir together well, simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Serve over rice.
Serves: 6-8
