Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Anasazi Bean Stew With Cornmeal Dumplings


main dish, vegetarian

1 1/2 cup anasazi beans
3 cup water
2 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 cup sliced carrots
1 (7) strip kombu; rinsed
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoon dried savory
2 cup tomato puree
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon low-sodium tamari
----CORNMEAL DUMPLINGS----
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
5 1/4 oz extra-firm silken tofu

Combine beans, water, onions, celery, carrots, kombu, bay leaves, savory and tomato puree in a large soup kettle. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until beans and vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove kombu, slice into bite-size pieces and return to kettle. Stir in vinegar and tamari. While the stew is cooking, prepare the dumpling dough (below). Bring stew to a slow boil over medium heat and drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto surface of stew. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon to a serving bowl. Stir stew to mix well. Ladle stew into individual serving bowls and top with dumplings. Serve immediately. Hints: For fresh tomato puree, place 3 to 4 medium-size tomatoes in a blender and blend until smooth. Delicious with cooked greens and a tomato salad. CORNMEAL DUMPLINGS: =================== (Makes about 8 dumplings) In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, salt and baking powder. Blend tofu in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. Add tofu to cornmeal mixture and mix well. Hints: Replace 1/2 cup all purpose flour for half of cornmeal.
