Steamed Veggies and Tofu with Brown Rice
    Serves 4 to 6
    1½ cups medium grain brown rice
3½ cups water, plus more for steaming
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
¼ cup sesame oil
6 tablespoons Bragg’s Liquid
Aminos, plus more for the table (or
4 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce)
2 carrots, cut into ¼-inch slices
¼ head cauliflower, cut into bite-
sized florets (about 2 cups)
¼ head red cabbage (about 6
ounces), cut into ¼-inch strips
¼ bunch kale (about 4 ounces or four
to six leaves) cut into ½-inch strips
1 broccoli crown, cut into bite-sized
florets (about 2½ cups)
7 to 8 ounces firm or extra firm tofu,
cut into ¼-inch slices, then cut on
a diagonal into triangles
¼ cup raw pine nuts
    In a 2-quart saucepan over high heat, combine the rice, 3 cups of the water, and the salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice stand, covered, at least 10 minutes.
    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, sesame oil, ¼ cup of the Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (or 8 teaspoons of tamari or soy sauce), and the remaining ½ cup of water; set aside.
    In a pot fitted with a steamer insert, bring 1 inch of water and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (or 4 teaspoons of the tamari or soy sauce) to a boil. Arrange the carrot and cauliflower in the insert and steam for 3 minutes. Add the cabbage, kale, broccoli, and tofu and steam for 3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender
and the tofu is heated through.
    To serve, place the rice on plates or a platter and top with the vegetable mixture, tahini sauce, and pine nuts. Pass any remaining sauce and additional Bragg’s Liquid Aminos at the table.
    Uhhh!!! This dish tastes so simple, pure, and good it makes us mad!

2 red bell peppers,

12 bite-sized potatoes, cooked
1½ cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon coarse nutritional yeast
1 clove garlic, pressed or finely

2 teaspoons Bragg’s Liquid

    To blanch vegetables: Bring a pot of well-salted water (about ½ tablespoon fine sea salt per quart of water) to a boil. Add the vegetables and cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 3 minutes depending on the vegetable and the size (blanch different vegetables separately since cooking times may vary). Remove with a slotted spoon (if blanching other vegetables) or drain.

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 4 teaspoons of the arrowroot, (or 4½teaspoons of the cornstarch)and 4 teaspoons of the water.
    About a cup at a time, add the cheese to the saucepan, whisking until all the cheese is incorporated and the mixture
is smooth. Whisk in the arrowroot mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened,
