Made this for breakfast this morning. Easily made ETL by not using the olive oil and salt. It was really good, and will likely be my new go to tofu scramble recipe. I made the recipe as is other than leaving those out, added probably an extra cup of kale and chopped up the onions and red pepper so they were more spread throughout the scramble.

Chef James' Black Bean and Butternut Squash Chili
Chef James Rohrbacher
Serves: 8
Preparation Time:
Ingredients:
2 onions,chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
8 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons white wine
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons pure ancho chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded and chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
4 cups low sodium or no-salt-added vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes or 1 (14.5 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1/3 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman's MatoZest or other no salt seasoning, adjusted to taste blend

Taste the chili for spicing and adjust as necessary with chili powder, nutritional yeast or tabasco. Stir in the kale.0 -
Terri, thanks for adding all the great Thanksgiving recipes. Here's another one from me. I sort of made this up... inspired by something I read online but then went in my own direction.
White Bean Pita Pizza
Servings 4
4 whole wheat pitas or flatbread
1 cup tomato sauce
1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 large red or yellow pepper, roasted then sliced
¼ cup sliced olives
½ medium red onion, sliced
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Spritz olive oil in skillet. Add garlic and sauté a minute then add cannellini beans and mash with a potato masher or fork. Add water as needed to prevent sticking and to make a thick paste. Add tomato sauce and Italian seasoning and stir over low heat a few minutes until you have a smooth and thick sauce. Spread on pitas, top with peppers, olives and onion, sprinkle with nutritional yeast, bake at 400 until toasty. Could easily leave out the olive oil if you want it to be more strictly ETL. Roasting the pepper could be optional, I just like the deeper flavor when they are roasted.
I don’t necessarily think the MFP calculations of nutritional values are 100% accurate because I’m often using user created items, but here is what I came up with per serving: Calories 236, Fat 2, Sodium 719 mg, Carb 46 (10 fiber, 4 sugars), Protein 11.
It occurred to me that if I added more tomato sauce this would make a really good, high-protein sauce for whole wheat pasta or to pour over steamed veggies.

Squash Soup
- Copied from the November Thread.
Gif added for posterity.
whats_her_name wrote: »Mihani, the squash soup is really easy (and so delicious!!) This quantity makes about 10 servings.
Fill a big roasting pan FULL of
- carrots (4+ cups),
- yellow onions (2 medium), and
- celery (2 celery hearts)
Drizzle with a little olive oil (just a bit) and some pepper.
Then, cut 2 acorn squash in half, remove the seeds, then brush them with a bit of oil and add pepper to those as well.
Put the squash on a cookie sheet and put that and the roasting pan in the oven at 375ºF for about 70 minutes.
Then, scoop the squash out of the skin and put all the veggies in a big pot on the stove. Add 6 cups of veggie broth.
Use a submersible blender to make a smooth soup, then add:
- 1.5 tbsp cumin,
- 1 tbsp coriander and
- a little more pepper (to taste).
This is one of my favourite soups of all time. I just love it! (And it always tastes better on the 2nd day - which is today!! Mmmmmm...)
Enjoy!

Here is a quick and easy slaw. I use a food processor.
(If you keep the dressing separate it stores well for a couple of days)
shredded green cabbage
shredded red cabbage
spring onion
ginger root grated
grated carrots
goji berries ( recipe called for sultanas)
For the dressing
miso paste
rice wine vinegar ( could use Apple cider vinegar)
chili flakes ( recipe calls for sweet chilli sauce)
toasted peanuts ( I used toasted pumpkin seeds)
taste as you go adjust to suit yourself!

Made these wonderful lettuce wraps today for lunch to use some leftover lentils. Wow! I was truly shocked how good these were! I mixed the lentils with corn and curry and cumin. Mixed some hot chili garlic sauce with mayo (essentially making siracha mayo) and spread that on the romaine lettuce leaves. Topped with tomato and green onion....Modify to suite your tastes!
2 -
fyi, the lettuce wrap recipe is a modification of one I saw on the blog "Oh She Glows"....you can find the original recipe on her site, but I didn't really follow her recipe just her idea of lentils on lettuce wraps1

I made this for dinner tonight because I had extra roasted squash that wasn't used in the soup the other day... ohsheglows.com/2011/10/24/black-bean-and-butternut-squash-burritos/
I had some serious doubts about this recipe, but it was really good. I liked it quite a lot.
ETA: I also added some kale with the peppers and cooked until wilted before adding the other stuff. It was a good addition.0 -
Good idea on the squash....I have some left over that I wasn't sure what I was gonna do with it!0

I love Panera vegetarian black bean soup, and finally thought hey, I bet there's a copycat recipe online. I have made this probably 6 times over the past few months. I love it! Freezes well too.
Copycat Panera Bread Black Bean Soup
· 1 medium Onion
· 2 Cloves of Garlic (I use 3 to 4)
· 2 Celery Stalks
· 1/4 Red Bell Pepper
· 1 Tbsp cooking oil (I use 1 tsp)
· 1 1/2 Cups veggie broth (may need a little more if it is too thick when done)
· 2 Cans Black Beans (15 oz)
· 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
· 1/2 tsp Salt
· Lemon Juice (approx. 1/2 a lemon)
Chop the onions, celery and bell pepper and mince the garlic. Add the oil to a large pot over a medium high heat and then add the vegetables. Saute until your onions are translucent. Add the broth and raise the heat to high. Add your black beans along with the salt and ground cumin and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a slow rolling boil and let cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using a potato masher, work the beans until you’ve reached the desired consistency, but leave a good number of whole beans. Add the lemon juice and let simmer for about 5 minutes.

OMG this is so good! Cumin and Lime Roasted Sweet Potatoes from Vegetarian Times. Easy and delicious and perfect for a winter dish. I didn't peel my sweet potatoes, though. Never do.

Vegan Hollandaise Sauce (4 servings)
Not strictly ETL but I cut the oil from the original recipe and think I could even cut it in half again without sacrificing flavor. I think I'd also cut the salt in half. I served up with some steamed asparagus and it was delicious.
12.3 oz silken firm tofu
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp turmeric
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or other neutral flavor oil)
Put the tofu on a plate and heat in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds just to warm. Throw it in a food processor and process a bit then add the other ingredients except the oil. Process until smooth. With processor still running drizzle in the oil and finish.

10 Spice Vegetable Soup (Oh She Glows)
ohsheglows.com/2014/10/02/10-spice-vegetable-soup-freezer-friendly-vegan-gluten-free/
This was delicious. The cashew cream made it really creamy and rich. I made it as written with a diced sweet potato and chickpeas but I only used a tsp of oil. The recipe says 6 servings, I have had 4 bowls of it since last night and there is over half of it still left so they would be huge servings.0 -

I made this one last night. Next time I'd use less lime juice (maybe 1.5 Tbsp or 2 Tbsp) and find some smaller yams! I was stuffed! As author on site says, you can bake the yams ahead of time and throw this together during the week. Perfect with a salad on the side.

Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
serving size not mentioned on site, but we did 1/2 yam per person
1 avocado
½ c cilantro leaves and stems, roughly chopped and packed (or don't chop...it is going in blender!)
3 Tbsp lime juice (~2 limes) (yikes on the amount for me....1.5 to 2 tbsp next time around)
1 large garlic clove
½ tsp cumin
⅓ c cold water
¼ tsp salt, plus more to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
2 medium sweet potatoes
1½ tsp cumin
¼ to 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt (omit or reduce if your beans or corn are salted)
1 c cooked black beans (I just threw in a can of low sodium beans)
1 c cooked corn kernels/frozen corn
½ c grape tomatoes, thinly sliced
optional: chipotle pepper in adobo sauce for heat
Pierce sweet potatoes all over with a fork and bake at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes (depending on size), or until soft.
While potatoes are baking, prepare the guacamole sauce. Blend together avocado, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and water in a blender or food processor until smooth. Refrigerate until using.
When potatoes are done, slice each potato in half lengthwise. (Use oven mitts to keep from burning your hands!)
Using a spoon, scoop out most of the sweet potato flesh from each half into a small bowl, leaving just enough flesh intact with the skin for the potato half to keep its shape.
Mash removed sweet potato with spices. Stir in black beans, corn, and tomatoes.
Scoop mixture back into potato halves and top with avocado sauce.
Since I had the Tahini Caramelized Onions on hand (http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/tahini-caramelized-onion-sauce/), I threw some of those on top, too.

This one is from my friend, Atari. I really like the way it turned out! After making it once, we doubled it.
My variations are in brackets.
Atari's Chili
Serves approx. 5 to 6
Ingredients:
3/4 C dry kidney beans
3/4 C dry pinto beans
3/4 C dry garbanzo beans
3/4 C dry black beans
You can substitute 2 cans of each kind of beans if you don't want to start dry. Drain and rinse.
1 Large Onion, diced
2 Green peppers, diced
1 Tbsp oil (recipe call for 4, I used refined coconut oil)
1 large can of crushed tomatoes (did it with 2 regular cans diced tomatoes in green chilies and liked it better)
2 Tbsp chili powder (Penzy's has a nice one, any good quality one you like should work)
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tsp powdered garlic
salt to taste
1 chipotle chili with adobo sauce (opt., my addition for a bit of zip)
If starting with dry beans, soak in water overnight and drain. If starting with canned, rinse and drain the beans well. (If using a pressure cooker, soak dry beans overnight and cook according to your pressure cooker guidelines, then only added the beans for the last 30 minutes, see last paragraph) Place beans in a large pot with a lid and bring to a simmer. We want the beans to soften a little before we add the salt and tomatoes, otherwise they will never get soft.
In another pot, fry the onions in the oil at medium heat until they're starting to turn brown ( <- important to brown) Do not burn them! Add the diced green peppers and cook until they're soft. Reduce the heat a little and then add the spices. This is why it's important to use oil. You want to dry the chili and cumin so that they start to turn fragrant. This takes about 30-60 seconds or so. The cumin should start to smell like toasted nuts. Add just a little water, enough to halt the frying and simmer the mixture. Let simmer for about a minute, then add the tomato sauce or diced tomatoes. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and allow to cook for about 2 hours.
Keep an eye on the tomato mix, stirring occasionally. If starting with dry beans, they will need to cook for about 2 hours on a medium simmer. Canned beans only need about an hour. The tomato mix needs to cook for about 2 hours to cook off the "green" taste of the peppers and allow the onion to impart a sweet taste. After 2 hours, combine the beans and sauce and let simmer for another 30 minutes. Taste and add salt if necessary, then let simmer for another 30 minutes. (after about 2 to 2.5 hours, I added the beans then let simmer for 30 minutes since my beans were pressure cooked.)0 -
Roasted Garlic Shortcut - Pressure cooker then quick broil
These directions worked for my Instant Pot. Other cookers may vary a little in how much water and how long. I did 4 heads of garlic at once.
Ingredients
heads of garlic
small amount of oil
Place one cup of water in pressure cooker and put steamer basket inside. Cut off the tips of the cloves, still attached to the head of garlic (maybe the top 1/4 or less) Save tips for recipes where you want fresh garlic. Place heads of garlic in steamer basket and cook on high pressure for 6 to 8 minutes. (8 was right for mine). After 8 minutes I used the fast release method.
Turn oven to broil. Remove garlic heads from cooker carefully and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush exposed garlic tops with oil. I used a pastry brush and didn't need much at all. Broil for 5 minutes, keeping an eye on them just in case.
Store in the fridge and use throughout week when a recipe calls for garlic. Nice mild flavor in dressings. Garlic squishes out of casing easily.
Possibly everyone already knows how to do this, but I didn't so I thought I'd post it!
Here's how mine turned out:

Mediterranean Burgers
Ingredients:
1 large sweet potato, baked whole (approximately 1 cup once cooked)
1/2 cup chickpeas, cooked and coarsely mashed
1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced
1/4 cup roasted red bell peppers, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp red onion, finely minced
3 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup dry rolled oats, ground into meal
1 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/8 tsp cayenne, or to taste
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3/4 tsp salt (optional)
Suggested toppings: pickles, hummus, pickled onions, and/or sweet chili sauce.
Directions:
First, gather and prepare all your ingredients and lay them out neatly.
Once your sweet potatoes are baked whole and cooled, peel the skin off and set aside.
(Note: Be sure you do not steam or boil the sweet potatoes since they will retain too much water, making the burger batter quite wet.)
To prepare the burger mixture: In a mixing bowl, toss together all ingredients except the oats, pressing the potato until the mixture begins to bind. If the mixture is a bit too moist, add some of the rolled oats — they will help to absorb a bit of the excess moisture. You will likely need all of the oats, but not necessarily, so just add them a bit at a time until the burger holds together slightly when gently squeezed in your hand.
To bake the burgers, place them into a pre-heated 400°F (205°C) oven.
Form the mixture into burger size patties or into small sliders, and place on a nonstick baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, flip, and continue baking for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, or until both sides are golden.
Serve on whole-wheat buns (or slider buns), in pitas or wraps, or bun-less.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Servings: 4 burgers or 8 sliders

Mihana previously recommended oh she glows- red lentil soup, really good. Thanks for introducing me to OSG, I ended up buying her book and she has this other soup which is soo good. It doesn't look pretty but the taste is yummy.

Ginger Miso Stir Fry
Serves 2
http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/2015/12/ginger-miso-stir-fry-vegan-fast-food.html
Comes together fast and tastes good! I made the brown rice ahead of time.
Ingredients
1-2 cups broccoli florets
8 oz firm tofu (I used a whole package instead)
1 tangerine, peeled and sliced (pits out)
1 cup brown rice, cooked
1 tsp oil or water
1 Tbsp tamari, low sodium optional
1 Tbsp miso paste
1/2 tsp grated ginger
1 Tbsp maple syrup
Heat skillet, add water or oil, then add broccoli. Saute 2 or so minutes. Add all other ingredients except for the rice. Mix together. Let tofu brown. Add rice and combine. Once rice is hot, you're done.
The only change I might make in the future if I think of it, is to marinate the tofu in a bit of tamari, ginger and miso first. Then brown the tofu in a separate pan and add it at the end. No big deal either way but my tofu didn't brown as much as I wanted when mixed with everything.

Tahini Caramelized Onions
I use 3 lbs of caramelized onions, then double the sauce. 1/3 of a cup heated on a salad is yum! Good with simple lentils and rice too. Almost anything.
For caramelized onions, I slice the onions thinly in half rings (use food processor if you have one!), then split the onions into 2 large pans and use 1 tsp of coconut oil per pan to caramelize. A bit labor intensive as you turn the heat up quite high and stir frequently for 30 to 45 minutes until they are nicely caramelized but not burnt.
I don't love having to stand at the stove for that long, so I looked up a recipe for slow cooker onions. It uses 3 Tbsp of oil but I would try with less. Haven't tried it yet, so if you do, let me know how it turns out!

2 cups cooked lentils
1 huge handful (a cup or so) fresh cilantro leaves and stems
1 huge handful (a cup or so) fresh parsley leaves and stems
half a jalapeño (if you like spicy - leave ribs and seeds!)
1½ tablespoons olive oil - i omitted, no problems
1-2 cloves garlic
a squeeze of lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1-2 tablespoons all purpose flour (I used garbanzo bean/chick pea flour)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pulse all ingredients except flour in a food processor until combined. The mixture should form semi-dry crumbles that stick together when you press them.
Stir in the flour - just one tablespoon at a time, until it's just dry enough to handle. Form into 9 patties and bake for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and use in salads, sandwiches, bowls, etc. Refrigerate for a few days or freeze.
I served mine in Winter Bliss Bowls

serves: 4 bliss bowls
INGREDIENTS
For the Roasted Veggies
5-7 carrots
1 head cauliflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 teaspoons cumin
salt and pepper to taste
For the Bliss Bowls
8-10 pieces of Simple 5 Ingredient Baked Falafel
2-3 cups spinach
1-2 cups chopped red cabbage
1 jalapeño, cut into slices
¼ cup crushed pistachios
tahini, lemon juice and honey for drizzling (instead of honey can use rice syrup, maple syrup or omit entirely)
(I whisked together 2 Tbsp Tahini, 2 Tbsp of lemon juice, and 1 Tbsp maple syrup for drizzle)
INSTRUCTIONS
Falafel: Make falafel above. Takes about 30 minutes. can make ahead.
Roasted Veggies: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel the carrots and cut into thin strips and place on a roasting pan. Chop the cauliflower into small florets and place on a separate roasting pan. Drizzle each pan with oil and sprinkle each pan with cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss around on the pan to combine. Bake for 20-30 minutes - stir occasionally, but not too often otherwise you'll disrupt the browning process. To get more browning, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. When the veggies are done, remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Bliss Bowl Assembly: Assemble spinach, red cabbage, falafel, carrots, and roasted cauliflower in the bowls. Top with jalapeño and pistachios. Drizzle with tahini, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, and salt and pepper as needed.0 -
I'm putting together this seasoning for a bean taco salad tonight and realized I probably haven't talked about it before. A nice way to skip the prepackaged taco mixes with junk in them and control your own salt.
I add it to the beans (or tofu, whatever I'm heating up). Start with half the yield per can/ 1.5 cups of beans and add more to taste.
