Peppers Stuffed with Tofu and Rice

1 onion, chopped fine
1 rib of celery, chopped fine
1/2 cup of mushrooms, chopped fine (optional)
1 cup brown rice, cooked
1 cup mixed vegetables, canned, frozen, or chopped fresh then boiled or
nuked
1 cup tofu
freshly ground black pepper
4-6 green bell peppers (capsicum)
2 cans of Campbells tomato soup

All measurements are approximate! If making your own mixed veg I suggest
carrot, potato, corn, and peas. Cut the carrot and potato small, to about
the size of the peas and corn. Microwave until tender.

Saute onion, celery and mushrooms in lots of vegetable stock until soft.
Mix equal amounts of cooked rice, mixed veg. and tofu in bowl. Add cooked
onion mixture and freshly ground black pepper to bowl.

Slice the top off of the peppers and reserve. Remove the seed from the
peppers then add peppers to boiling water. Boil very briefly, about 2 – 4
minutes. Remove from pot and rinse with cold water. Arrange peppers in
baking dish. Fill each with tofu mixture. (Extra stuffing can be frozen).
Pour tomato soup over the peppers. Replace cap over each pepper (or
sprinkle with low fat cheese). Put lid on baking dish and bake at 180
degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes.

1/2 tsp dried basil
2 cups tomato juice

Throw it all in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer

NOTE: I turn the heat up even more with a little Tabasco. I didn’t have
tomato juice once so I threw 2 cups canned tomatoes in my vita-mix and
pureed. You might want to add a little salt if you do that.

Title: FROZEN ORANGE TRUFFLE SOUFFLES
Categories: Desserts
Yield: 6 servings

1 Unflavored gelatin envelope
1/2 c Orange juice, fresh
5 Eggs; separated, room temp.
1/2 c Superfine sugar
1 t Grated orange zest
3 tb Orange liqueur (see note)
1 c Heavy cream; chilled
6 Chocolate Truffles
Strips of orange zest (opt.)
Whipped cream (for garnish)

Note: Grand Marnier or Orange Curacao are suggested orange liqueurs.
Wrap parchement paper or aluminum foil collars around six 2/3-cup souffle
dishes and fasten with tape or string.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the orange juice and set aside
until softened. Place the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir
occasionally until the gelatin dissolves, about 3 minutes. Set aside in
the hot water.
In a double boiler, beat the egg yolks and sugar over barely simmering
water until the mixture is light-colored, creamy and warm to the touch,
about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and continue to beat until the
mixture cools, thickens and forms a ribbon when the beater is lifted,
about 3 minutes. Stir in the orange zest and liqueur. Scrape into a
large bowl and set aside.
Beat the cream until it is doubled in volume and forms soft peaks.
Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
Stir the gelatin mixture into the beaten egg yolks. Place the bowl in a
larger bowl half-filled with ice and water and stir with a rubber spatula
until the mixture begins to thicken and mound, 2 to 4 minutes, depending
on the type of bowl used (metal chills faster than glass or ceramic).
Immediately remove from the ice water and fold in the whipped cream.
About one-third at a time, fold in the egg whites until no streaks of
white remain; do not overmix.
Spoon 1/2 cup of the mousse mixture into each souffle dish and place a
truffle in the center. Divide the remaining mousse amoung the dishes to
bury the truffles. Smooth the tops, cover loosely with waxed paper and
place on a tray in the refrigerator until set and chilled, about 2 1/2
hours. Before serving, remove the paper collars. Decorate the tops with
whipped cream and strips of orange zest, if desired. Serve chilled.
