....I know a lot of you think vegan versions of meat-laden foods are
silly and affectoid, but gosh, was tonight's dinner good.
I made our favorite vegan gravy (which is essentially the method for
the punk rock chickpea gravy in _Vegan with a Vengeance_, but without
the chickpeas today). Then I mashed some potatoes with vegan
margarine, boiled some cut-up broccoli, carrots, and onions for just a
few minutes, and fried up some small tofu cubes.
Mixed the tofu and veggies together with the gravy, put it into a
casserole dish, and topped with the mashed potatoes, and sprinkled
some paprika on top as a nod to my mom. Baked for 20 or so minutes at
400.
Oh. My. God. So good.
Heather, have you tried this gravy? My wife said if she didn't know I
was doing the vegan thing these days, she would have sworn this was
meat-based gravy.
