Posted by berniewagner on 5 August 2008 under Vegetarian | No Comments
Another delicious heart-healthy meal. Use chicken fryer or covered fry pan…
- 3/5 GimeeLean roll (beef flavor)
- 1 tofu frank, diced
- pkg. Firm or extra firm tofu, thawed and diced
- 2 c. Health Valley f/f chicken broth
- 1 flame broiled red pepper, peeled and diced
- 1 large zucchini,diced
- 1/2 can chick peas
- 1 ear cooked corn, cut from cob
- 6 salad size carrots, sliced 1/4 to 1/2 ” thick
- 12 stalks asparagus, steamed
- Marjoram, frozen, loose fistful of leaves
- Parsley, same as above
- Garlic powder, 3/4 t. or to taste
Mash the Gimmeelean into the broth, add everything else except the asparagus, and simmer covered for half an hour or so (until the liquid is all taken up). Divide the asparagus on top and warm through before serving.
Suggestion: Side dish of Brussel sprouts, or cauliflower, or Broccoli rabe (rapini).
For non-f/f guests, may add pitted mild black olives plus a 10 oz can of white meat chicken, and stir in a lump of ghee (any or all).
