From Nashville with Love
This link was sent to me all the way from Nashville, TN from one of my dearest friends, Nikadik.
Although some wines may be processed with certain fish oils, the distillation process pulls out all of the impurities, hence leaving it vegan;)
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alexandra-guarnaschelli/white-mushrooms-and-spinach-recipe/index.html
This recipe is all about extracting the water from the mushrooms and the spinach to intensify the flavor. The Marsala adds nice acidity to the dish.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound white button mushrooms, ends trimmed (but stems still attached) and washed, quartered and/or halved to the same size
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 small cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1/4 to 1/2 cup dry Marsala
1/2 pound spinach leaves, washed and dried
Heat a large saute pan or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add the thyme and the garlic and saute. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and a lot of the liquid has evaporated from the bottom of the pan, 6 to 8 minutes.
Add the Marsala and cook until the flavor of the alcohol has mellowed considerably, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and discard the sprigs of thyme and the garlic. Shut the heat off and stir in the spinach leaves so they wilt slightly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Tree Hugging Twig Eaters Unite
To start things off, let me just say..."I Love Meat". I absolutely love meat. A rare piece of Prime Rib, with more fat than meat, sitting there in its own blood, with a big dollop of horseradish, and a baked potato with butter and sour cream, oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Driving two hours to find a church out in the middle of a cornfield in Indiana on a Sunday, to find the best all you can eat fried chicken dinner in the world, is my glory.
For Lent, I have decided to make the sacrifice of giving up all meat & animal biproducts. Which means, no milk,no cheese, no eggs, no fish on Fridays...and NO CAKE going into my belly for 40 days and 40 nights.
This blog is being created to share a wealth of meat alternatives and vegetarian recipes that are very tasty and definitely worth preparing, even if you just want to be a vegetarian once in awhile.
This recipe is for Rinotta which is a cashew tofu filling, which you can use as a replacement for meat on a sandwich or stuff into manicotti shells, or...just eat with a spoon.
Thank you http://www.waste.org/~oxymoron/recipes/rinotta.html
for posting this.
Rinotta
roux
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic (~1 bulb)
1 cup soy milk
1/4 cup white flour
blend
2 1/2 cup cashews
3/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 bunch of parsley
2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dry mustard
1 T salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
juice of 1 lemon (~1/3 cup)
mash
2 T olive oil or soy milk
2 lbs drained tofu.
(makes a bucketful, yo)
Step 1
Sauté garlic in olive oil until slightly brown. Whisk in soy milk. Simmer and whisk in flour to form a roux. Yow.
Step 2
Combine these ingredients along with roux in food processor. Now you've got an absolutely vile overpowering muck. It would be unwise of you to spread this on your pizza just yet, which is why I strongly recommend you proceed to step 3..
Step 3
Add olive oil or soy milk to desired consistency. Put tofu in large bowl and combine all ingredients until well mixed.
