APRICOT NUT BREAD
=================
(makes 4 to 6 servings)
Ingredients:
------------
3/4 cup dried apricots
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 Tbsp grated orange peel
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
Instructions:
-------------
Place the apricots on a chopping block. Sprinkle 1 T flour over them.
Dip a knife into the flour and chop the apricots finely. Flour the
knife often to keep the cut up fruit from sticking together. Sift the
remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar into a large
bowl. Combine the milk, egg, orange peel, and oil. Stir the flour
mixture and the whole wheat flour. Fold in the cut up apricots, any
flour left on the cutting block and the walnuts. Pour into a well
greased, floured bakin unit. Cover and place on a rack in the slow
cooker, but prop the lid open a fraction with a toothpick or a twist of
foil to let excess steam escape. Cook on High for 4 to 6 hours. Cool
on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
Now before you all ask what a baking unit is (I wondered as I sat and
typed this in), I looked it up in the front of the bread section.
She says that some manufacturers are making units for slow cookers,
but if you don't have one, a 2 pound coffee can works. Pyrex muffin cups
also work. Also 1, 1 1/2 and 2 quart molds work.
Do not lift the lid while baking this bread.

BEEF ROAST(S)
=============
Ingredients:
------------
Beef Roast(s)
onion
spices
optional: potatoes, carrots, sweedes, turnips
Instructions:
-------------
Brown the roast(s) on all sides in a little bit of oil. Place in the
crock pot. Add an onion, cut in about 6-8 pieces. Add spices (we don't
use salt - we add Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb, plus some additional
garlic and pepper). Cover with water.
Sometimes I add a dash of beef boullion granules. Set on high. I let
this simmer away for about 5 - 6 hours. We usually add potatoes
(quartered) the last 60-80 minutes. Other root veggies work great too.
Now, for the DOUBLE DUTY:
-------------------------
For the leftovers, I slice the roast somewhat thin, and breakup up the
slices (sort of shred it), put it in a sauce pan and add barbecue sauce
and a little water. I let this simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally. If it gets too dry add more sauce or water. Serve on
rolls. This is great to take for lunch and heat in the microwave at
work.
Note:
-----
Be sure to select a roast or two that will fit it the crock pot! (My
first one didn't!)

CRISP-FRIED TOFU AND GREENS
===========================
Ingredients:
------------
2 cakes of tofu, frozen overnight and thawed
1/2 c water or vegetable stock
1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 c cornmeal or cornstarch
Marinade:
---------
1/3 c soy sauce
1/4 c rice vinegar
1 T finely grated gingerroot
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
dash cayenne
Sauce:
------
3 T soy sauce
1/4 c dry sherry
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 tsp honey or brown sugar
Vegetables:
-----------
3 T oil
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 c thinly sliced onion
6 c mix of coarsely chopped pak choi, chard, kale,
nappa cabbage or 9 c. chopped spinach
Instructions:
-------------
Gently squeeze as much liquid out of thawed tofu as possible. Cut tofu
crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices, then diagonally, to make 4
triangles.* Combine marinade ingredients and mix well. Arrange tofu
triangles in one layer in a dish and cover with marinade. Allow to sit
for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. Prepare sauce mix by
combining all ingredients in a small bowl. In a separate bowl mix the
water or stock and the 1 tsp. cornstarch. Dredge marinated tofu pieces
in cornmeal or cornstarch and fry over medium heat in 1/8 to 1/4 inch of
oil, for 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain and keep warm in 200F oven.
Add leftover marinade to sauce mix. Heat 3 T. oil in a wok. Stir-fry
garlic and onion until onion is tender. Add greens and continue
stir-frying until just wilted but not mushy. Add sauce mix and
cornstarch mix and stir-fry just until sauce is thickened. Add reserved
fried tofu. Serve with rice.
* I cut the tofu into many more smaller triangles.

Turn the pot contents into a skillet, set the heat to high and simmer

sherry and cook, stirring until the sauce boils. Do not overcook, lest
the sauce lose its shiny quality. If you wish, add some sugar or sweet

tender, add rice or pasta and cook for one additional hour.

ROB'S VEGGIE CHILI (Vegan)
==================
Ingredients:
------------
olive oil
1-2 large yellow onions, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red pepper, diced fairly large
1 green pepper, diced fairly large
2 28-oz. cans crushed tomatoes
1 T cumin
1 tsp cayenne (or to your taste)
1 pkg frozen corn
2 cans black beans (or any other kind of beans you like -
chickpeas work well, too)
1-1.5 C picante sauce (Shotgun Willie's green sauce -very hot- works well)
salt to taste
grated cheddar, if desired
cashew nuts, if desired
Instructions:
-------------
Saute onions in the olive oil. (I used cooking wine instead to cut out
the fat). Add garlic a bit later. After onion and garlic are have
turned golden brown, add cumin, cayenne, and whatever other spices you
might like. Fry for a couple of minutes.
Next, add the peppers, saute them for a few minutes. Put the crushed
tomatoes, corn, beans and picante sauce into the crock pot, and add the
onion mixture. Cook on low about 10 hours.
Serve with grated cheddar and cashew nuts, if desired.
Note:
-----
I didn't have room in my crockpot for 2 cans of crushed tomatoes, and I
had to cut back a little on the corn too, so you will have to vary the
sizes above depending on the size of your crockpot.

TANGY RED BULGAR
================
Ingredients:
------------
1 tblsp olive or vegetable oil
1 cup chopped red or green bell pepper, or combination
1 cup chopped zucchini or yellow squash, or both
2 1/4 cup Bloody Mary mix or vegetable juice
1 cup bulgur wheat
1 tblsp lemon juice
1 tsp dired basil, crushed, or 1 tablespoon fresh, minced
1/3 cup chopped green onions
Instructions:
-------------
Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Cook pepper(s) and
squash(es) until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in Bloody Mary mix or vegetable juice, bulgur, lemon juice, and
basil. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 5 to 8
minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
Garnish with green onions. May be served warm or as a salad at room
temperature.
To Microwave:
-------------
In a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish, combine oil, red pepper and
zucchini. Cover with lid; microwave on high 4 minutes or until
vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring twice during cooking.
Add vegetable juice, bulgur, lemon juice, and basil. Cover and
microwave 10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring twice during
cooking. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions.
Crockpot:
---------
I have made this in a crockpot, tossing all the ingredients except the
basil and green onions in and cooking on low for 8 hours, adding the
basil after 7.5 hours, and garnishing with green onions just before
serving. The resulting dish is indistinguishable from one made using
the stove top method. I refuse to try the microwave method. I
generally use only two cups of Bloody Mary mix since the brand I buy
comes in quart bottles.
