Raw Vegan lasagna

Cashew Cheez:
1 cup soaked cashews
1 cup soaked pine nuts
1 small handful of onion
1 clove of garlic
2 tbsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Process all together in a good blender until creamy. You will have to stop and start it and push down the edges a lot because the cheese is so thick but that's how you want it.

Tomato sauce:

1 cup soaked Sun-dried tomatoes
1 small tomato
1 small handful chopped onion
1 small sprig rosemary
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Process this in the same way as the cheese. Again, this should be very thick.
Pesto:

2 large handfuls of basil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup pine-nuts
2 tbsp. olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Process in a blender or a food processor

Thin slices of fresh zucchini and heirloom tomatoes.
If you don't have a good mandolin, use a potato peeler to get extra thin zucchini slices and then use a couple of layers in each layer (if that makes sense). Cut the tomatoes by hand.

Line a plastic container with plastic wrap.

Sprinkle the bottom layer with a little pesto and a little cheez. This will end up being the top so this is for garnish. Arrange the prettiest tomatoes you have on the next level. Next, layer the zucchini and then the tomato sauce, then more tomatoes, then pesto, then zucchini, then cheez, then pesto, then more zucchini, then tomato sauce, then more zucchini, then more pesto and finish with a layer of tomatoes.
Cover with the plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool. When cooled place a plate over the whole thing and invert. Remove the wrap. Cut with a serrated knife.

MINUTE VEGAN BUTTER: Deeeeeeeeelicious!!!!!!!

If you want the best tasting thing next to real butter, you have to try this recipe. Now I'm going to warn you, it is high in fat, but it's all plant fat. There is ZERO CHOLESTEROL in this recipe. However, you still want to use it sparingly. THIS STUFF TASTES JUST LIKE THE REAL THING, AND MELTS LIKE IT TOO. It's better than the Vegan butters on the market because it doesn't have hidden MSG(hidden under the name of pea protein or soy protein), Canola Oil, food coloring, etc.
THERE'S ONLY 5 INGREDIENTS...

YOU CAN USE IT FOR:
1. spreading on corn-on-the-cob
2. spreading on toast
3. Use in cookie recipes
4. It even pops popcorn
5. melting on your steamed veggies
6. saute' mushrooms
7. saute' onions and/or garlic
8. use in just about any recipe that calls for butter.

RECIPE:
1 1/4 c. coconut oil
3/4 c. olive oil
2 T. lecithin Oil (not the granules)

***Put the above in a blender, but do not blend as of yet. After you put those 3 ingredients in the blender, in a container, measure 1 c. of water with 1 Tablespoon sea salt. Whisk real well til the salt is completely dissolved(Be sure the container you use to put the water in is big enough to add both the water and the salt so that will allow you to mix without the water falling all out). Turn on the blender for about 1 minute til the 3 ingredients are creamy, then pour in the salt water while the blender is still running and continue blending for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Let this sit in your blender for a couple of minutes, then pour into small containers (I use the plastic ones from the Gerber baby food)
***I have a Vitamix and did my speed on low variable up to around number 7 or

FREEZE. Even after it freezes, you can still take a butte knife and get the butter out like real butter. It's the same exact consistency, same color

Rice Milk

(I do not do measurements very well.)
Boil brown rice, in a large amount of water.
Let it cook for quite some time till it look a little bit mushy.
Put into a blender, and blend well.
Strain the rice from the liquid into a pitcher or container, leaving only the milk.
Refridgerate when done.

Almond Milk

You will need to soak raw unsalted almonds in a large amount of water for no less than 4 hours.
I let mine soak over night.
Then blend well in a blender, and strain the liquid.
I am sure there are better recipes, but this is how I make mine. The water I use is never tap water, I always use distilled, or spring water if I do not have distilled on hand. Mixture makes quite a bit of milk.

 Vegetarian Gravy

 Mac and Cheeze

Great Vegan Hamburger Helper

• 1 1/2 cups of plain soy milk
• 1/3 cup of soy sauce
• 1 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast (not to mistake for baking yeast)
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic minced or powder
• 1 tablespoon of sea salt
• 1/4 block of extra firm (not silken) tofu
• 1/2 cup of flax seed margin
• 1/2 cup of olive oil
• 1 pound of small pasta shells
• 9 x 11 baking pan
• 1/2 a package of morning star or boca ground vegan meat

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Boil water in a big pot for the pasta. Put ground vegan meat in a pan and heat till cooked put aside once done. All of the ingredients sans pasta and meat can easily go in a blender liquid and powdered this is by far the easiest way and the only way I do it. Once pasta is cooked drain and put it in the baking pan pour the cheese sauce and add meat over the pasta. Stir the mixture in the pan till blended. Bake until the top of the pasta looks slightly browned and crispy about 15 minutes but not to crispy because that is just gross.

• 1 tablespoon sugar or maple syrup
• 1 packet (2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour (if you want to you can use whole wheat flour for a 100% whole wheat crust)

 Tofu Pumpkin Pie

• 1 can (16 ounces) pureed pumpkin

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

• 2-3 tablespoons cornstarch to firm up the pie filling
• 1 package (10-12 ounces) silken/soft tofu
• 1 9-in unbaked vegan pie shell

Preheat oven to 425 F. Blend the pumpkin and sugar. Add salt, spices, cornstarch and tofu, mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into pie shell and bake for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 350 F and bake for another 60 minutes. Chill and serve. Dont use the low fat tofu, then the pie tastes like it was made with tofu. This pie is soooo yummy, it will fool almost anyone.

 Maple Wheat Rolls

In a large bowl, combine water and maple syrup. Add yeast and stir to dissolve. Cover and let sit until bubbly, about 5 minutes.

To yeast mixture, add olive oil, whole-wheat flour, 1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Generously flour a work suface with some the remaining flour and place dough on it. Knead dough, gradually incorporating remaining flour. The kneading will take 10 to 12 minutes. By the end of this time the dough should have a slight stick to it but not stick to your hands. Cover dough with an inverted bowl and let rise until doubled, 30 to 60 minutes.
Lightly oil an 8 by 8-inch baking pan. Divide dough into 16 equal pieces, shape into round balls, brush lightly with oil, and place in prepared pan. Cover and let rise until until doubled, 30 to 60 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake rolls until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

These are perfect with a holiday meal, or any time.

Serves: makes 16 rolls

 Vegan Green Bean Casserole

Heat soy milk and veggie bouillon in a saucepan, stirring until bouillon cube disintegrates. Do not boil or scald the soy milk. Just heat it.

Sauté onions and mushrooms in the veggie oil in a skillet. Add salt, pepper, and herbs and spices.

Mix the starch and water well, and pour into the soymilk/bouillon. Stir well, because this will coagulate pretty quickly. Quickly add the can of green beans, the sautéed veggies, and about half of your French fried onions, and stir well.

Pour that mixture into a casserole dish or pan and top with remaining French fried onions. Bake in oven at about 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until the onions begin to brown. Remove. Eat. Enjoy.

Serves: 4-6

Preparation time: 15-20 minutes

 Traditional Tasting Tofurkey

• 4 tabelspoon vegan flax seed butter (smart balance light only is the only vegan one)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (same as you used in tofu)
• 1 tablespoon vegetarian bouillon (vegetarian better than bouillon no chicken base)
• ceyanne pepper to taste

Blend tofu in blender or food processor until lumps are gone. You can mash by hand, but I prefer to blend it for a better consistency. Put the tofu into a cheese cloth (if you don't have one use a pillow case) and squeeze the water out of it.

Transfer to a large bowl, stir in herbs,vegetarian bouillon seasoning, sea salt and ceyanne pepper.

Line a medium, round bottomed colander with one layer of cheese cloth or a clean dish towel. Put the tofu mixture in colander and fold remaining cheese cloth over the top. Place the colander on a plate (to catch excess water being squeezed out) and put a heavy weight on top. Put in the fridge and press for aprox. 2-3 hours or overnight if possible.

After pressing and with the tofu still in the colander, scoop out the center, leaving about an inch of tofu around the edges. Place your stuffing in the cavity. Put the tofu mixture you scooped out over the stuffing and press down firmly.

Flip the formed turkey on to an oiled cookie sheet, use the excess tofu to form the turkey legs and wings for an added turkey look. Brush the whole turkey with the marinade.

Cook at 350° F for about 1.5 hours brushing with marinade every 15 min or whenever you remember to.

The turkey can cook for as long as you need it to. once, I let mine cook all day, basting it about every half hour or so and it turned out great. I usually put it in the oven as I'm starting the rest of the meal... by the time the potatoes and all the veggies are done, the turkey is ready to go.

Marinade instructions:

• Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together (or blend in the blender if you prefer)
• Taste it.
• Adjust the spices if you feel the need.
• Serves: 6 or so
