  • Mashed Potatoes
  • Bring water to boil and add potatoes. Reduce heat and cook until potatoes
  • are soft and easily pierced with a fork (about 15 minutes). Drain well and
  • place in medium mixing bowl. Add soy margarine, salt, pepper and Soy Dream.
  • Using an electric or hand mixer, mash potatoes until thick, smooth and
  • creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve topped with Herbed Gravy.
  • Lentil Loaf:
  • In medium saucepan, combine lentils and vegetable broth or water and bring
  • to a full boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Ad 3/4 tsp.
  • salt, then continue simmering for about 15 minutes or until lentils are
  • soft and the water has been absorbed.
  • In a small pan, saute onions in oil until translucent. Add celery and
  • carrots, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Pour vegetables into a mixing bowl
  • and combine with bread crumbs, rice, lentils, and seasonings. Place mixture
  • in a 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pan lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Spread a thick layer of Mashed Potatoes on top. Bake uncovered for 30
  • minutes. Cut into thick slices and serve with generous amount of Herbed
  • Gravy.
  • Herbed Gravy: In a 2 quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add flour,
  • and stir often for two minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for
  • several minutes. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Whisk
  • together with the flour/oil, half at a time to avoid lumping. Bring to boil
  • over medium heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 - 15
  • minutes, stirring occasionally. If gravy seems too thick, simply whisk in
  • additional water, one Tbs. At a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Gravy will thicken as it cools. Stores
  • well in the refrigerator for several days. To serve at a later time, reheat
  • slowly over a medium flame, making sure to stir well. Add a Tbs. Or two of
  • water if necessary. Yield: 1 1/2 - 2 cups
