Taco Salad (Haystacks)

Theodore’s recipe:

1 onion

1 pack frozen “meat”

1 brick tofu

Tomatoes (chopped fresh)

Oil as desired

1-2 T Garlic powder (fresh was not available)

1 T paprika 

1 T ground cumin

2 T salt

Coated Tofu Slices

Cut tofu into slices, coat with flavored (to your preference) gluten flour, fry. Pretty simple! 

Afterwards, experiment with leftover coating, making patties etc.

Grammy's Stuffing

This is the stuffing I (Donna Ann Dietz) grew to expect as the Thanksgiving stuffing my mom always made:

 

 

Mom’s vegan scramble

 I keep trying ways to get quick yummy breakfast protein that replaces scrambled eggs in my life. Here’s my latest attempt!

1 brick of tofu, smashed up 

3 tablespoons of yeast-based flavor and salt to taste (taste it)

Smash up together with your hands and taste -adjust as desired.

1/2 cup of gluten flour 

Smash it up again with hands 

Prep pan with sprayed oil.

Fry one layer thick, spray on top also.

Fry covered for a few minutes to make sure gluten gets wet throughout.

Flip and let it get crunchy as desired.

Makes about 6 eggs’ worth of equivalent substance.

I am putting half in fridge for later… we’ll see how it goes…

Bosch 6-loaf recipe

Theodore and I are trying to follow (roughly) this video here with inspiration from this recipie here. 

 

His 5 rules are:
1) Start with hot water (about 6 cups)
2) Use fresh flour
3) Don't "measure"
4) Salt LAST (actually "more flour" is last, but...)
5) No "more flour" after you're done.  (Use oil post-raising on counter.)

Relevant video portion is 5:00 to 11:00 roughly.

5:18 he adds about 6 cups of hot water
6:03 he adds about 5 heaping cups of flour
6:15 dough enhancer (3T or so?)
6:30 2T yeast
6:52 2/3 cup oil
6:56 2/3 cup honey
8:15 about 2 more heaping cups of flour
Move from speed 1 to speed 2 when motor sound changes.
8:26 salt "last"

Then more flour until it peels from the sides.

His video is grainy so I'm really struggling to "see" what he means there.

We will keep updating as we figure this out! 

 

Grandma’s Tofu Salad (Paula)

Paula/Grandma waits until the grapes are best quality, then grabs the other ingredients. Juicy grapes are key for this to work! She uses vegan mayo also.
