Scrambled Tofu (1 serving)
2 fresh shiitake mushrooms  
⅓ red onion  
½ small red pepper, cored and
seeded  
1 clove garlic, minced  
Canola or olive-off based spray  
4 oz. firm tofu  
½ tsp. turmeric  
½ tsp. ground thyme  
Barbecue sauce
Finely chop the mushrooms, onion,
and red pepper. Spray a nonstick
skillet with oil. Saute the garlic,
mushrooms, onions, and red peppers.

Hummus (5 Servings)
1 cup dry chick peas  
1 carrot  
3 scallions  
2 tbsp. parsley  
⅓ cup (or more) water  
¼ cup lemon juice  
2 tbsp. tamari  
1 tbsp. Vegit seasoning  
½ clove garlic, mashed (optional)  
Dash of cayenne pepper (optional)  

Soak the chick peas overnight. Discard
soak water. Put the beans in 2 ½ cups of
fresh water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, partially
covered, for 1 hour or until the beans are
tender. Shred the carrot and set aside. (It
is a good idea to use a food processor, if
you have one, from here on.) Finely chop
the scallions and parsley. Add the cooked
and cooled chick peas and grind them,
with some water to help mash the beans.
Also add the lemon juice, tamari, and
Vegit, and mix. (Add more water if
necessary to achieve the texture you
desire.) By hand, mix in the shredded
carrot. For added flavor, add garlic and
cayenne. Use this as a spread for
sandwiches or as a dip for steamed
vegetables.
California Corn Salad (2 Servings)

1 large stalk celery, chopped  
½ tbsp. black walnuts, chopped  

This recipe can be prepared with raw or

To serve raw, chop the peppers, zucchini,
and squash (omit the eggplant) into corn
kernel size pieces. Remove the kernels from
the corn cob. Mix the vegetables together.

To serve cooked, cut the peppers into strips
and drop into boiling water for 1 minute.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drop into
cold water. Dice the zucchini, squash, and
eggplant, and remove the kernels from the
corn cob. Add to boiling water. Parboil for 2
minutes. Set aside.

Tear the lettuce leaves into pieces and mix
with the raw or cooked vegetables and the
cottage cheese. Garnish with chopped

separately. Combine all ingredients
with remaining buttermilk, parsley,
and onion in a large bowl. Chill.

Stuffed Bell Peppers in Beer Sauce (2 Servings)
Stuffed peppers:  ½ cup dry soybeans or 1 8-oz. can prepared soybeans  
2 medium green peppers  
2 medium red peppers  
½ oz., 2 strips, wakame, kombu, or kelp seaweed  
½ cup millet  
1 cup diced tempeh  
½ cup chopped onions  
1 medium carrot, grated  
¼ cup chopped parsley  
⅓ cup, 2 oz.+, tomato paste  
1 tsp. ground allspice  

Sauce:  ½ cup minced onions  
Canola- or olive-oil based spray  
⅔ cup ketchup or ½ cup tomato paste  
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce  
⅓ cup beer  
Black pepper to taste  


If using dry soybeans, soak overnight and simmer in a medium pot with 2 cups of water for 1 hour. Drain and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut
the tops off the peppers and reserve the tops. Clean out the seeds inside the pepper. Soak the seaweed in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain and cut it into
bite size pieces.

Cook the millet in 1 ½ cups of water for 30 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. Add the seaweed and tempeh for the last 15 minutes. In a large bowl
combine the canned (or fresh prepared) soybeans, the millet mixture, chopped onion, carrot, parsley, tomato paste, and allspice. Stuff each pepper until it
bulges. Top with reserved caps and bake for 40 minutes.

For the sauce, stir fry the onion in a nonstick skillet sprayed with olive oil. Add the ketchup or tomato paste and the Worcestershire sauce. If the sauce is too
thick, add beer for desired thickness and black pepper to taste. Simmer for a few minutes, then pour over the stuffed peppers and serve.
