#278 The Case of Neatloaf

If you used to eat meat, you know how easy it was to prepare a meal with meat and a vegetable. Not so easy for vegans until now.

This recipe makes enough for four. Or two—with cold slices and a salad the next day.

Or leftover sandwiches…slim slices of Neatloaf, a little vegan butter, a little mustard, salt, pepper, on whole wheat bread.

Not only that, use this Neatloaf recipe to make 12 Neatballs. Bake for 45 min. and serve on top of spaghetti tossed in pasta sauce. Grate on the vegan Parm!

2 340g packs Beyond-Meat-style plant-based ground
1/2 cup pasta sauce
1-1/2 cups vegan stuffing mix (the whole box)
salt
pepper
gravy (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, mix the plant-based ground, pasta sauce, stuffing mix, salt and pepper to taste. Form into two oblong loaves and place on a parchment-paper-lined baking tray.

Bake for one hour.

Serves 4 with a little hot gravy!

The Case of Vegetarian Detective in Italy

B uon giorno! I feel like a snob saying, "I'm just back from Italy." That's me: jetsetter. Yeah, right! But wow...Italy! I could talk up a storm, and I surely will as I adjust to being back here, six time zones from magnificent Italia . I often ask people who've just travelled what was their favourite part of their trip. If I ask the same of myself, my answer is seeing Michelangelo's sculptures. His Pietà and The Statue of David literally moved me to tears. I just can't believe I saw "him" in person! So...our plane from Toronto was delayed six hours and we missed the first day of activities, but we still visited Rome, Montecatini, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Vinci, Florence, Cinque Terre and Assisi. Quite the agenda for ten days, including the two flight days, wouldn't you say? But Trafalgar made it work. I would go on a Trafalgar trip again in a heartbeat. Things I learned in Italy: In the regions we ...

#108 The Case of Smokey Bean Soup

S mokey Bean Soup may be the recipe I am most proud of. Smokiness is derived from two sources (no, not mascara and eye shadow)—roasted garlic and hickory-smoked BBQ sauce—a combo that produces a surprising depth of flavour. Smokey Bean Soup 1-1/2 cups navy or white pea beans 12 cups water, separated 6 rounded teaspoons (for 6 cups) vegetable bouillon powder 1/2 bulb garlic olive oil 1 onion, chopped 3 carrots, chopped 1 bay leaf 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon hickory-smoked BBQ sauce salt Soak the beans overnight in 6 cups of the water. Drain and rinse. In a covered pot, simmer the beans in the rest of the water and vegetable bouillon powder, for 1-1/2 hours. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Slice the top off the half-bulb of garlic to expose each clove. Place upright on foil and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap. Roast for 45 min. Let cool. Add the onion, carrots, bay leaf, rosemary ...
