Whole Wheat Flatbread (Chapati) 0

Posted on October 24, 2007 by admin

2 1/4 c Durum flour

1/2 ts Sea salt

1 tb Canola oil

2/3 c -Very warm water

Combine flours and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Mix in oil and
water to form a stiff dough, adding more water if necessary.
Remove
dough from bowl and knead on a lightly floured surface until
smooth, about 5 minutes.
Return dough to bowl, cover with a towel
and set aside in a warm place for one hour.
Turn dough out onto a
lightly floured surface and divide into 14 equal portions.
Roll
each piece into a ball and cover with a damp towel.
Heat an
ungreased griddle or large frying pan over medium heat.
Working
with one ball of dough at a time, flatten it, then roll into a 6″
circle, using only enough flour to keep dough from sticking.
When
griddle is hot, pick up dough, shake off excess flour and place it
on a hot pan.
Cook until brown spots appear, about one minute.
Flip
dough over and cook on other side.
(Chapati may puff up while
cooking.) Cover and place in a warm oven while cooking remaining
chapatis.

Bring all ingredients except the oats to a boil.
Turn heat to
low and stir in 4.5 cups rolled oats.

add some oats at about 5 minutes and cook for only a few more
minutes until thickened.
Fill a rectangular non-stick baking pan
with the mixture (makes square patties, easier than forming little
circles).
The pan could be anywhere from 9 x 18 inches (22.5 X 45
cm.), 12 inches (30 cm.) square or larger to make patties about a
half-inch (1.3 cm.) thick.
If too thin they’ll be tough and will

minutes.

giant burger into 3.5″ to 4″ (10 cm.) square burgers and flip them
over.
Cook another 20 minutes.
Serve in buns or as a main course,
hot or cold.

vegetables & barley are tender, about 45 minutes.
Preheat the
oven to 350F.
Transfer the cooked mixture to a lightly oiled
casserole dish & top with alternate diagonal rows of both kinds
of potato.
(For a more decorative look, try piping the potatoes).
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the edges bubble & the
potatoes are golden brown.
Serve immediately.

2 1/2 lb Raw Seitan

- (2 boxes Seitan Quick Mix) 1/2 ga Water

1 1/2 c Tamari soy sauce

1 7-inch strip kombu

– (sea vegetable) 6 sl Fresh ginger (thin slices)

Sauce — (such as Bordelaise — or Miso sauces) Prep time: 30
minutes Place Seitan in an 8-inch square cake pan.
Allow to rest
until it takes the shape of the pan.
Place this pan inside a
second, larger pan that is half-filled with water.
Cover the larger
pan.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 F.
for 1 hour.
When Seitan is
done, remove from the pan.
Divide into eight equal pieces.
To 1/2
gallon water, add tamari, kombu, ginger, and Seitan steaks.
Cover
pot, bring to a simmer, and cook for about 45 minutes.

to 25 minutes).
You may leave steaks in the stock for several
hours, if you wish.
Remove steaks from stock and drain.
Brush with
a little sauce, and broil so they will be lightly browned.
Serve
steaks hot with additional sauce.

Vegan: Bread Pudding 0

Posted on October 24, 2007 by admin

2 c Grated apples

Juice of 1 lemon 4 c Whole grain bread, cubed,

-small 1/3 c Raisins

1 ts Cinnamon

1 1/2 c Soymilk

1/2 c Maple syrup

Some vanilla if you use -plain soymilk Egg replacer to equal -one egg Mix lemon juice with grated apple.
Blend the soymilk, egg replacer, maple syrup and cinnamon (and vanilla, if you use it) together.
Put one third of the bread in the bottom of a greased 8″ by 8″ baking dish and cover with 1 cup of the apples and half the raisins.
Pour one cup of the liquid mixture over these ingredients.
Repeat the layers of bread, apple and raisins, ending with a top layer of bread.
Pour the rest of the liquid ingredients over it.
Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Let pudding sit for a few minutes (original recipes called for 20 minutes, I let it sit for 5).
Bake, covered, at 350 degrees F (325 if you use a glass dish) for 45 minutes.
Let stand for 10 to 20 minutes at room temperature before serving.
Was great for breakfast.
Notes: I used a whole wheat cinnamon raisin bread, which combined with the vanilla soymilk and maple syrup made it fairly sweet, which I like but others might not.
The orginal recipe called for margerine to be dotted on top before baking.
I cut it out because of fat considerations, but I guess it would make the top crisper.
Heavily adapted from a recipe in the original Laurel’s Kitchen.
It creates a soft, moist, but yummy pudding.
This was my first attempt to veganize a baked recipe, and I think it turned out fairly well.
