Philly CheeseChick'n Sandwiches

By Corina (based on a sandwich at the Herbivore in San Francisco)

French baguette
Daiya mozzarella cheese
Red bell pepper thinly sliced
Vegenaise
Gardein Chick'n Scallopini

Open the baguette, spread ample Vegenaise on both sides, place only a few thin slices of red bell pepper on one side, cover in cheese.

Bake in the oven with the chick'n separate until the cheese is melted and the chick'n is hot. Remove from oven, put a piece of chick'n on one side of the sandwich, close, and enjoy!

Tofu ginger salad



1 block of extra-firm tofu
pickled ginger (see here https://pizzasushiicecream.blogspot.com/2019/09/pickled-ginger.html)
lettuce
2 tomatoes
2 carrot
1 handful basil


Cut the tofu into small pieces (1cm by 1cm cubes). Add a bit of oil to a pan, and fry the tofu until the outside starts to become golden. Cut about 1 teaspoon of pickled ginger into tiny pieces, and add this with about 1 teaspoon of the pickling ginger into the hot pan with the tofu. Continue to fry for 2-3 minutes while stirring regularly.


Wash the salad ingredients and cut into mouth-sized pieces. Mix together in a bowl, and add the tofu and ginger. Split into bowls, each adding dressing to their taste.

Marillenknoedel (Austrian apricot dumplings)


By Dieter Lukas

8 apricots
sugar
3/4 parts flour
1/4 part tapioca starch
1/3 teaspoon baking powder
4oz / 110g vegan cream cheese
4oz / 110g vegan sunflower butter
breadcrumbs

For the dough, mix the cream cheese and the butter with flour, tapioca starch and the baking powder with your hands until it forms a smooth dough that doesn't stick to your hands or to the bowl.

Wash the apricots, and de-stone them by cutting into the apricot from one side (so that it can be closed again). Pour in sugar to fill the stone hole.

Divide the dough into eight pieces, and one by one stretch them out on a plate. Place an apricot inside, and wrap the dough all around.

Boil water in a large pot. Use a spoon to gently put the dumplings inside. Continue to have the water boiling at medium heat. The dumplings will take ~10 minutes to finish, you can easily tell when they are done as they will start to rise from the bottom and float.

Remove the dumplings from the water and place on a plate to rest. Heat three tablespoons of butter in a pan, add four handfuls of breadcrumbs and stir. Add the dumplings, and fry them while turning them frequently so that they get evenly coated with the breadcrumbs. It will take about 3 minutes to fry them.

Mix sugar with cinnamon, and sprinkle generously over each dumpling before eating.
