tofu steak 'n accoutrements

Hey kids.

It's WWFD! Everyone's favorite game.

The challenge today: a whole-food, plant-based meal reflecting the ideal of the "new" four food groups: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and plant-based proteins.

The catch: cook it in 20 minutes.

The outcome:
What it is: quick-cooking bulgur wheat fragranced with chestnuts (which are yummy and surprisingly fat free!), tofu "steak" with a mushroom vermouth reduction (and the sauteed mushrooms - baby bella and shitake), and quick-kale with lemon tahini sauce (that I also made on the fly).

The trick: a well-stocked pantry and old school "backward math" meal planning so everything comes out together and hot. That, and a few trademarked Lazy Vegan (the working title of the cookbook) techniques. Got it all done (including time for water to boil) in 21 minutes. Not bad.

Recipes to follow.

I am actively seeking volunteers to test recipes. In exchange, I will provide you with a free digital copy of the book when it comes forth, and a mention in the credits. E-mail me if you want in on the project.
