Try a veg/vegan stroganoff:
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons butter or polyunsaturated margarine
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
2 teaspoons basil
1 1/2 pounds firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons tamari
4 tightly-packed cups sliced mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 quarts water
1 pound dry noodles
1 cup sour cream or vegan-type soy sour cream
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large, deep, heavy-bottomed skillet.
Add onions, garlic, dill weed, and basil and saute for about 5
minutes, then add tofu and continue to cook on medium heat, stirring
gently occasionally, until tofu browns nicely. Add tamari. Then add
mushrooms, salt, and cayenne. Lower heat, stir, and cook another 5
minutes. Remove from heat.
2. Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Cook noodles until tender but
not mushy. Drain and return to pot. Toss noodles with 1 tablespoon
butter to prevent sticking.
3. Add sour cream and parsley to mushroom mixture and mix well.
4. Place noodles in a pretty serving bowl, then spoon stroganoff on
top. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley.
Serves 4.
