  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 oz pressed and cubed extra firm tofu
  • 3 cups gluten free all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder

  • 1/4 cup vegan margarine I used Earth Balance
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk unflavored rice, soy, almond, etc.

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan and sauté the mushrooms, carrots, and onions until lightly browned. Optional: Water sauté the vegetables. 

  2. Add the potatoes, vegetable broth, parsley, basil, red pepper, salt, and black pepper, and bring to a boil.

  3. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes then add the frozen peas.
  4. Let simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are soft.
  5. In a 1/2 cup water, stir in the cornstarch until smooth and add to the simmering vegetables and stir until bubbly, thick, and clear.
  6. Stir in the cubed tofu and mix until evenly combined.
  7. Remove from heat and set aside.
  8. In a large glass bowl, sift together the gluten free all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Then stir to combine.

  9. Cut in the vegan margarine with a pastry cutter or knives. 

  10. Stir in enough plant-based milk to make a stiff but pliable dough.

  11. Spoon the cooked vegetable mixture into a large baking dish.
  12. Place the dough on top in small biscuit sized blobs (like drop biscuits).
  13. Bake uncovered at 425 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the top is lightly browned.
  14. Let sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
