Title: Rhubarb Lemon Tofu “Pie” (Vlf Vegan)
Categories: Veg-cook, Sept., Dessert
Yield: 1 servings

5 Stalks rhubarb, washed,
Leaves discarded
1 Granny smith apple, peeled,
Cored and cubed
Dozen large strawberries
6 oz Firm (reduced fat) tofu
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 c + 2 T sugar
2 T Whole wheat flour
2 t Sugar + 2 t whole wheat
Flour (or optional pie crust
And crust crumble)

In a rice cooker, (or pot) add a little water and the rhubarb stalks,
chopped. Cook covered for several minutes (be more observant if doing
rangetop cooking, as heat source may be hotter, and add water as needed).
When rhubarb is pretty well done, carefully remove the cover (have an oven
mitt on) and add the cubed apple, strawberries, and 1/4 c sugar. Cover and
continue cooking a few more minutes.

Meanwhile, puree the tofu in a food processor or chopper, until very
smooth. Add lemon juice, 2 T sugar, 2 T whole wheat flour, and process
until well blended. Line an 8″ pie tin with oil, (here you can add a pie
shell if you prefer, instead of…) and sprinkle to coat with a sugar and
whole wheat flour mixture, about 2 t each. Spread the tofu mixture into
the pie tin (or onto the crust). Bake at 400 F for a few minutes, (until
crust is done, if using a crust). Remove and cool.

Check rhubarb mixture for sweetness (I use a minimum of sugar), and adjust
to your preference. Pour into a fine (or cheesecloth lined) seive, and
drain off juices, do not squeese dry. Save juices for some other use
(perhaps for a jelly). Pour remaining rhubarb mixture over the baked lemon
tofu. Refrigerate (or top with crust crumble and bake again until done).
The texture of the fruit mixture does not jell, or thicken, when the
smaller amount of sugar is used, but I like it the way it is. The lemon
tofu is in sweet contrast to the more tart but still sweet rhubarb and
fruit filling.

Title: THANKSGIVING TURKEY MARINADE – DKP
Categories: Marinades, Poultry, Di, Holidays
Yield: 1 marinade

See recipe

Thaw turkey (if frozen) on Monday Tuesday in
refrigerator.

On Wednesday, put 3 onions (cut up), 4 garlic cloves
(sliced) and 1 large bunch of parsley in cavity of
bird.

Pour Vernors (ginger ale) and 8 oz orange juice
concentrate in cavity. Cover and rub bird with
Catalina dressing. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and
pepper and paprika. I put the whole mess in a garbage
bag and marinate it overnight.

Before baking, discard all marinade.

Di Note: When I finally bought my house, I wanted to
have Thanksgiving here instead of at my mother’s
(which was traditional). I had NEVER done a turkey
before. I bought this HUGE creature and started to do
the marinade thing (my Mom’s recipe). Well, I don’t
have much counter space and this bird was a slipping
an’ sliding all over the place and I was laughing
hysterically. I was actually fighting this monster!
My Mom called to see how everything was going and all
she could hear was me cackeling. She jumped in her
car and came over and here I was, on the floor with
this damn bird in my lap and marinade all over me. It
was one of those moments…great marinade tho!
