I got this recipe from my friend Sara, in California. She is vegan and makes the most delicious food. She made this for me one time and I've just been thinking about it lately. Had to e mail and ask her for the recipe. I'm putting it here in case you might want to try it but mostly, so I'd know where to find the recipe next time I get a hankerin' for this. :-) Thank you Sara. This recipe made enough to serve three of us along with a salad and garlic bread, but if you wanted to serve more – it’s easy to just double up on everything.
