Ingredients

4 Large baking potatoes

OR

4 Large sweet potatoes (yams)

Black beans and tomatoes topping:
15 Ounce Can Black beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tomatoes, chopped
1 Tsp Cumin
1 Tsp Ground coriander
1 Tsp Soy sauce

15 Ounce Can Garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 Cup Vegetable broth
3 Tbsp Lemon juice
2 Cloves Garlic
2 Tsp Curry powder
1/2 Tsp Cumin seed

Directions

1 Prick potatoes all over with a fork. Place the white potatoes directly on the oven racks, place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Bake until tender when pierced or squeezed.

2 Meanwhile prepare the topping for your potatoes.

3 Black beans and tomatoes topping: Place in a saucepan and heat through. Mash slightly with bean masher, if desired. Serve over baked potatoes or yams garnished with tofu sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro (optional).

4 Curried garbanzos topping: Place all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. Place in a saucepan and heat through. Serve over baked potatoes or yams garnished with chopped green onions.

5 Leftover bean dishes, such as soups or stews, make wonderful toppings for baked potatoes. Try Chunky Chili or Southwestern White Beans (recipes in Soups and Entrees).

6 Mushroom toppings are also a good choice for both kinds of potatoes. See the recipes for Wicked Mushrooms in Entrees and Mushrooms McDougall in Dressings & Sauces at

Oil Free InstantPot WILD RICE

Ingredients
1 cup wild rice
1 ¼ cups water or vegetable broth
¼ teaspoon salt


Instructions
Add the wild rice, water, and salt to the Instant Pot.


Secure the lid and set the steam handle to sealing.


Cook the rice under high pressure for 23 minutes. Let the Instant Pot sit for 10 more minutes of natural pressure release.


Carefully open the steam handle, then remove the lid. Fluff the rice and serve.


1 cup makes about 3 cups of cooked rice.


Notes
Total cooking time includes 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to start the cooking process.


You can adjust the amount of water or broth depending on how you like your rice. For softer rice, use more liquid; for firmer rice, use less water.


Add seasonings or vegetables to the pot before cooking to flavor the rice.


Store rice in an airtight container for 1 week or freeze it for several months. Reheat it using a steamer basket for the best results.

NanaJo’s Oil-Free Italian Dressing – Your Mom’s Vegan

Zesty and bursting with flavor, NanaJo’s Oil-Free Italian Dressing is perfect for many types of salads and especially good on a pasta salad. 

Author Trish Hall

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tsp cornstarch
  • 1-2 tsp seasoning salt or salt-less seasoning blend
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or Menudo Mix seasoning
  • 1/2-1 tbsp sweetener of choice (date sugar works well) Adjust to your taste. Different sweeteners will require different amounts. I like tangy, so I don’t use much.
  • 1 tsp onion powder (not necessary if using Menudo Mix)
  • 1-2 tsp minced garlic (I like lots of garlic, so I use 2)
  • 2/3 cup lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Start by making the thick water. Add the water and cornstarch to a saucepan and heat over medium heat. As it simmers, whisk it constantly. Continue to whisk until it starts to thicken. I like to get it a little thicker than oil consistency because the lemon juice will thin it out a bit.
  2. Remove it from the heat and add the dry seasoning and sweetener of choice. Whisk well. Allow this mixture to cool a bit.
  3. When it is cool (doesn’t need to be really cool, just not hot) add the garlic and lemon juice.Whisk it well.
  4. Pour into a bottle with a lid and shake well.
  5. Store in the refrigerator and shake well before use.
