- .RH REC.FOOD.RECIPES-#170 PASTA+TOMS MV "17 Aug 91" 1991
- .RZ "PASTA + TOMATOES, BASIL & GARLIC"
- This is an easy, yummy pasta dish that contains no animal products. Quantities
- are approximate. Fresh ingredients are very important: if you can't get
- fresh basil and tomatoes, it won't turn out yummy.
- .IH "1 serving"
- .IG "1 clove" "garlic"
- .IG "~15-25 leaves" "basil"
- (fresh)
- .IG "~2 Tbls" "olive oil" "30 ml"
- .IG "2 small/med" "tomatoes"

- .IG "1 large" "tomato"
- .IG "" "pasta"
- (enough for 1 large serving - I prefer shapes that hold sauce well, such as
- radiatore)
- .IG "" "salt"
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Chop up the garlic finely. Cut the tomatoes into small chunks. Wash the basil
- and tear up the larger leaves (leave smaller leaves whole).
- .SK 2
- Heat up the olive oil in a frying pan (use enough oil to more than cover the
- bottom of the pan), and start sauteeing the garlic, but don't let it get
- brown. After it has sauteed for a minute or two, add the tomato chunks and
- some of the basil.
- .SK 3
- Cook on low heat, stirring, until tomatoes get soft, but haven't yet fallen
- apart completely (10-15 min.). Throw the remaining basil in while the
- tomatoes are cooking. Add salt to taste.
- .SK 4
- Serve over cooked pasta.

- .RZ "TEMPEH SANDWICH"
- Here is one of my favorite recipes that use tempeh.
- .IH
- .IG "1 piece" "tempeh,"
- about the size of a piece of bread (you may cut it in half to make 2 thin
- pieces if you like)
- .IG "" "oil"
- .IG "~1 tsp" "soy sauce"
- .IG "" "chopped onions and mushrooms"
- (with or without seasonings)
- .IG "2 slices" "bread"
- .IG "" "mayo"
- or the equivalent
- .IG "" "tomato slices/other raw veggies"
- as desired
- .PH
- .SK 1
- (I usually use 2 pans (because I add an egg) but you can make this with one.)
- Heat oil in pans, saute onions and mushrooms, put aside when done.
- .SK 2
- Fry tempeh on both sides. When nearly done, add a teaspoon or so of soy sauce
- to each side and turn over to cook (it will splatter).
- .SK 3
- While this is all cooking (and try to time it to all come out at the same
- time), toast your bread and spread liberally with mayo (any variety),
- spaghetti sauce or something gooey.
- .SK 4
- Construct a sandwich with bread, tempeh, tomato, onion/mushroom mixture, and
- other veggies (optional). Serve hot.
- .NX
- For an incredibly messy (and non-vegan) option, try adding a runny fried egg
- to the sandwich stack. [BTW, it's messy even without the egg - cut sandwich
- in half for easier eating].
- .PP
- Tempeh only keeps in the fridge a couple of days. But it keeps in the freezer
- for months. To defrost: poke hole in the plastic with a knife tip or fork
- (both sides!) and put in the microwave for about 1 minute (depending on
- thickness). Or soak unopened package in hot (from tap) water for about 10
- minutes.

- .RH REC.FOOD.RECIPES-#170 TEMPEH-CYNDI MV "17 Aug 91" 1991
- .RZ "CYNDI GLOP" "Tempeh pasta sauce"
- Here is one of my favorite recipes that use tempeh. It is named by friends who
- had to eat it.
- .IH
- .IG "" "a variety of chopped veggies for stir fry"
- (try carrots, radishes, broccoli, mushrooms, string beans, zucchini, summer
- (yellow) squash, eggplant, etc.)

- chopped
- .IG "" "fresh ginger"

- cut in cubes
- (you can also use firm tofu)
- .IG "Tahini"
- (not optional, this is the \fIglop\fR)
- .IG "" "seasonings"
- to taste
- .IG "" "pasta or rice"
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Use a wok if you have one. Add oil to pan and heat. As it is heating, grate
- (or add finely chopped) as much fresh (or frozen) ginger root as you can stand
- (you can grate the garlic too). Add any spices (except fresh herbs) you plan
- to use - try curry based seasoning or sesame seeds/oil. Mix.
- .SK 2
- Add onions and garlic. Stir continuously (or near to it) for a few minutes.
- Add the veggies (longer cooking ones first) and the tempeh (a better
- alternative is to saute the tempeh until brown in a separate pan and add at
- the end). Cook until done.
- .SK 3
- Add soy sauce (liberally).
- .SK 4
- Turn off flame. Add tahini. Stir well. The amount to tahini you add depends
- on your courage. Start small (a few teaspoons) if you've never had the stuff.
- The soy sauce helps thin it out. You can also use water. If the tahini is
- very thick (canned), you might want to stick it in a blender or hand blend it
- with a little water first. You should end up with veggies with a thick clingy
- sauce.
- .SK 5
- Serve with noodles (try multi-colored pasta twists, regular spaghetti, or rice
- noodles - my favorite are the twists or fresh tannish noodles you find in an
- Asian market) or rice. Serve on top or mix in the veggies.

- melting.
- .SK 2
- Stir. Add milk in small amounts, microwaving for 20-30 seconds between
- additions, until you get the consistency you like. I don't use more than

- .SK 3
- Chop up the tomato and peppers and add them to the cheese sauce. Heat for

- .NX
- We use this for topping chicken, burritos, enchiladas and other entrees, in
- addition to dipping chips or pouring over a plate of nachos loaded with
- onions, peppers, olives, tomotoes, pepperoni, whatever. It's a pretty basic,
- but versatile sauce. It will keep and reheat for a short period of time -
- usually to the limit of the milk and butter.
