The Holidays are right around the corner, and if you are like me, you’re thinking about what you are serving the family for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Today, I am sharing our family’s Vegan Holiday Roast recipe, which my Mom and I make around the Holidays.
In a food processor blend tofu, milk, olive oil and soy sauce until smooth.
In a separate bowl, add all remaining ingredients, and blend well.
Combine the two together, adding in the dry ingredients a little at a time, to make a soft dough (may not need all the dry ingredients). The dough should be loose, but manageable. (If too loose, add a teaspoon of vita wheat gluten flour. Just add enough to handle the dough.) Knead for a minute or so. Set aside and let dough rest for a few minutes.
Roll or press dough into a rectangle. In the middle place a small amount of stuffing. Close. Wrap with one layer of baking paper, string, and finally a layer of foil.
If you choose to make the dough more of a round shape, divide the dough in half. Roll the dough into a round shape. Add lots of stuffing to make the round shape. Then roll out the other half of the dough and add as a cover. Wrap in parchment paper and foil.
Bake at 350 F for one hour.
Let cool slightly before removing parchment paper.
If desired, char roast in frying pan for a few minutes. Turn over and do the same on the other side.
Serve with mushroom stuffing, blanched Brussel sprouts, cranberries, potatoes and gravy.
Note: You may cook mushroom in the glaze above, but if you are adding Brussel sprouts, make sure to cook them for 3-4 minutes, then rinse in cold water, to retain that beautiful green color. Heat up in left over glaze if desired.
Saute onion in olive oil until translucent. Add garlic, mushrooms, and nuts, sauté for a few more minutes. Add Vegetable stock. Bring to a boil. Set aside, add in seasoned bread cubes. Toss gently. Salt to taste. Let’s stand with the lid on to moisten.
Happy Holidays.
