Now and again I like to share a recipe. One of my children is a vegetarian and even though I’m a lot more knowledgeable about the use of tofu and lentils and such these days, I’m always looking to add to my vegeterian repertoire. Sorry I don’t have fabulous pictures to go with it but hope that you can use the recipe.
