Easter Eve Dinner at Bonny Doone

I was going to try to do a real recipe like Roothy but I gave up.

This is what I cooked for friends last Saturday. I'm really proud of myself because Pepper and her family were needing some TLC and I was able to put this together while they watched TV. I only messed up on the greens as they needed a lot longer to cook.

Country Fried Boca Burgers

Heat up on large cast iron skillet, once it's heated spray some Pam on it.

Take two pie pans, in the left one put about 1/2 cup of soy milk and add enough prepared mustard to make a thin batter. Into the right pie pan add about a 1/2 cup flour with some salt and pepper. (will probaly need to make a little more of one or the other as you make the burgers.) Oh, and this used 8 patties.

Drag each Boca burger in the batter then the flour mixture and cook about 4 minutes on each side.

Country Gravy

Microwave 2 cups soy milk for one minute

In a medium sauce pan lightly toast 2 TBL of flour with about 1 TBL of curry powder. Add 2 TBL of oil and wisk for about a minute.

Add heated soymilk while wisking constantly.

Cook until bubbling and thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Collard Greens.

Saute 1 small chopped onion in 1 tbl oil until soft.
Add 3 or more chopped garlic cloves and cook for a minute more.

Add 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup nutritional yeast to make a broth. Cook for a little while and then add cut up collard greens. (may need to add in batched to get it all in.

Stir the broth and greens to coat and may need to add more water.

Cover and cook for 45 minutes.

Mashed Potatoes

I'm not going to bother with a drawn out recipe for this as we all know how to make mashed potatoes. I will say that using a rice steamer to cook the potatoes is the way to go as you don't risk over boiling and getting water soaked potatoes.

Soy milk, pepper and that's it.

As an additional gravy choice I made Bryanna Clark Grogan's Brown Gravy that I learned at one of the celebrity chef weekends I did. At the conference she said her friend called it "crack gravy" and I totally agree. I don't wing her recipe, I go strictly by the book so I don't want to plagarize her. It's in her no fat vegan cooking book and it should be in your library anyway.
