Delicious Meatless Stuffing "Meat"

This is a wonderfully versatile vegan meatless "meat". You cn use is as is for a side dish for anything from potatoes to baked yams. Or you canuse it as a filling for turnovers, potpies, casseroles, etc. You can also hollow acorn squashes, bake them and then fill them with this recipe, topping it all with your favorite sauce or gravy and eat them from the shell! Keep this recipe handy, you'll find a lot of ways to use it! I've enclosed photos of two ways this recipe can be served (one is as a side dish to simple potatoes and the other is as a filling for empanadas or turnovers!).

1 cup brown rice, cooked (could be leftovers)
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup soy flour
1 medium size onion, coasely chopped
1 medium size potato, cut into cubes
1 cup water
half of a small raw beet, peeled and sliced
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (you could make your own by toasting your whole wheat bread and then pulverizing it int he blender or food processor, you can even grate it)
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. sweet paprika powder
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
Salt to taste
2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast (optional)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts or almonds, chopped
1/2 tsp. dried sage
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
1/2 tsp. ground coriander seed
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 cup gluten flour or Do-Pep


In a blender, put the potato, the onion and the beet with a little bit of water and process till smooth. Scrape into a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly, forming a soft dough.
Put the 3 Tbsp. of olive oil in an electric skillet and heat to 300º F. Put your dough in the skillet and as if cooks, add the 1 cup of water in very little bits to keep it from burning and keep breaking it with a fork and turning it to brown it. Don't drown it in water all at once! Add little by little. Keep turning it and breaking it into crumbles as you cook it until it is dry but not hard (about 40 minutes or till golden brown on all sides.)
If you are using it for stuffing, add chopped pimento-stuffed olives to taste.
Enjoy!
