Gardein makes a wonderful product called Beef-less Tips, I used them in place of Beef in my Stroganoff recipe.
1 bag of Gardein Beef-less Tips
1/2 tsp Maldon Salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
4 leeks, sliced thin
2-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb mushrooms, portabello or white
4 oz Earth Balance
Heat Earth Balance add garlic, saute a few minutes, add beef-less tips, cook 5 minutes medium temperature, add sliced leeks, salt and pepper.
11 oz Vegetable Broth
3-4 tbsp lemon juice
4 tbsp wheat flour
1 tsp mustard
1 tbsp Nama shoyu
1/3 -1/2 c red wine
Heat all ingredients together on medium heat. Add mushrooms and simmer until desired consistency. Add leeks and Beef Tips. Salt to taste, mustard to taste, wine to taste.
1 cup raw cashews, soaked for two hours in spring water
Blend the cashews in the blender with a little lemon juice, this will be your vegan alternative to Sour Cream, but if you need a short cut use Dairy Free Sour Cream, about 1/3-1/2 cup added at the end
Serve with Pasta Rotini or Rice, whatever your preference!
Tomato soup is easy, it is in a previous post on the blog
Salad
I chop all of the lettuce, sprouts, cabbage, etc with scissors. You can eat three times as much salad this way. We all need more greens!!
I use to love Panera's tomato bisque , but after having it i would feel heavy and in discomfort due to the heavy cream and milk in it , and i am not lactose intolerant... after having Heather's soup.. i was ready to fly...
ReplyDeleteAbout the Strogannoff ... what can i say , i grew up in Spain and that dish is popular as well as beef... The richness and wholesomeness of this Heather's dish makes anything seem like.... nonsense....
