1 large onion, very finely chopped
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons - 1 tablespoon garlic salt
2 cans vegan cream of mushroom soup
2 cups vegan sour cream (also light, if it's available)
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups grated vegan cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. As vegan substitutes sometimes vary in consistency, you might need to add a little more or less, depending.
Mix together first 6 ingredients, adding more egg substitute and/or breadcrumbs to make a firm mixture. Shape (roll) into balls about the size of a ping pong ball. The balls should be firm enough to hold their shape, yet wet enough to be a bit sticky. Spray bottom of 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish with vegetable spray. Arrange balls in dish evenly.
Mix next 3 ingredients and pour over pecan balls. Bake for 45 - 50 min.
Sprinkle grated cheese over balls and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Yields: depends on how large you make them. Usually serves 6.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Chop celery, carrots, and potatoes. Peel and trim pearl onions. In a steamer basket steam potatoes, carrots, and celery until they are beginning to soften--about 10-15 minutes. While the veggies are steaming, place the onions in a greased casserole or roasting pan and place in the oven. Roast the onions for about 10 minutes---until they begin to brown. (You may skip this step and steam the onions instead...or simply put them in the oven with the rest of the veggies.) Remove the onions and deglaze the pan with a little water and the margarine. Add steamed vegetables to the pan and toss lightly to distribute. In a small saucepan add 2 cups cold water, the gravy mix and the soup mix. If using Imagine creamed soup (or your own) then reduce the water by 1/2 cup and use one cup of prepared soup. Bring the mixture to a boil and pour over veggies. Add fresh herbs (if using) and a few cracks of pepper Reduce oven to 350 degrees and bake (covered) for 30-45 minutes Other vegetables may be added as desired.
