2 cloves garlic, minced
3 T tahini
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c lemon juice
1 t cumin
1/4 t cayenne
3 T cilantro
salt & pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients and food process until smooth. Add water if the mixture is too thick. Serve with pita bread.
Eggplant Steaks
1 large eggplant, 1/2" slices, unpeeled
1/2 t basil
1/2 t oregano
minced garlic or garlic powder
sliced tomatoes
feta cheese
salt & pepper to taste
Sprinkle bost sides of the eggplant with the spices. Top with tomato slices and crumbled feta cheese. Bake, covered for approximately 30 minutes.
Vegetarian Meatloaf
2 c water
1 t salt
1 c lentils
1 small onion, diced
1 c quick-cooking oats
3/4 c grated cheese (cheddar, swiss, jack or american)
1 egg, beaten
4 1/2 oz tomato sauce
1 t garlic powder
1 t dried basil
1 t ground oregano
1 T dried parsley
1/2 t seasoning salt
1/4 black pepper
Add salt to water and bring to a boil. Add lentils and simmer covered 25-30 minutes, until lentils are soft and most of the water has evaporated. Remove from heat and drain. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and partially mash the lentils. Allow to cool slightly. Stir in onions, oats, and cheese until mixed. Add egg, tomato sauce, and spices. Mix well. Spoon into a loaf pan that has been generously greased. Smooth top with a spoon and add tomato sauce to evenly cover top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes until top of loaf is dry, and firm. Cool in pan on rack fo about 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife around edges of pan then turn out loaf onto serving platter.
