Cabbage Pie

Be sure you stew the cabbage first, it may use up the water, just add a touch more.

Ingredients:
Crust dough
1 cup cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup sliced carrot (substitute corn for a different taste)
1 ounce firm tofu, cubed
salt to taste

Directions:
Stew the cabbage and carrots with  1/2 cup water for 20 minutes.  Drain.  Add salt and pepper.  Put into a baking dish or small glass bowls.  Top with the dough.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Portobello Mushroom Pot Roast

 I used "baby 'bellas" because that's what my grocery store had, but if you can find the big caps, try those!

Ingredients:
1 cup portobello mushrooms
1/4 cup sliced carrots
1/4 cup diced potato
1/4 tsp sage
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp rosemary
salt
pepper
1/2 cup veggie broth or water

Directions:
Place all ingredients in the baby crock for 4-6 hours.  Thicken the broth with arrowroot or cornstarch before serving. 

Roasted Cabbage

 This dish can be a main dish, but you'll need to add a protein and a grain as sides.  When I make this again, I may top it with tofu.  I used two slices when I prepared it because my first slice was an end and I cut it pretty thin!

Ingredients:
1 1" slice of cabbage
1/2 tsp caraway seeds
Bit of oil

Directions:
Put the cabbage in a baking dish, toss the caraway seeds on the cabbage slice, and drizzle with oil.  Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.

Boxty

Potatoes in a pancake, nothing wrong with that!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup mashed potato
1/4 cup grated sweet potato
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 egg
salt

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl.  Spoon pancake sized portions onto a skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides.

Butternut Grits Casserole

You can't go wrong with grits!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup cubed cooked butternut squash
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup black beans
1 package prepared grits

Directions:
Mix the ingredients in a small bowl with salt, pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper.  Spoon the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Lobio Mtsuanilit (Herbed Kidney Beans)

This is the main protein dish for a meal, but you will need to add side dishes.

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp uncooked kidney beans
1/2 cup water
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp dill
1 tsp basil

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients in the baby crock and turn on low for 4-6 hours, until the beans are tender.

Reuben Pizza

 My own creation.  I don't really like Thousand Island dressing, so I created my own Reuben dressing which also adds a protein.  However, you could substitute Thousand Island.

Ingredients:
Crust dough
1/2 cup sauerkraut
1/4 cup diced seitan
1/4 tsp caraway seeds
1 ounce firm tofu
1 tsp tomato sauce
1/4 tsp mustard powder
salt
pepper
dash cayenne pepper

Directions:
Roll or press the crust dough out into a circular shape and sprinkle with the caraway seeds.  Sautee the seitan with salt and pepper and a bit of oil until it's just crunchy and set aside.  Put the tofu, tomato sauce, mustard powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl and mix with enough water to make a thick sauce.  Put the sauerkraut in a layer on the crust, add the seitan, then top with the sauce.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
