Rec: Crock Pot Vegetarian Goulash

8 ozs mushroom, sliced
5 1/3 ozs tempeh, in 3/4 inch dice
2/3 cup carrot, in 1/2 inch dice
1 1/3 medium onion, chopped
2/3 large tomato, peeled, seeded & chopped
2/3 small bell pepper, chopped
1 1/3 garlic clove, minced
7/8 cup vegetable broth
4 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 1/3 teaspoons dill
1/3 teaspoon caraway seed, lightly crushed
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2/3 (10 1/2 ozs) package silken tofu
2/3 cup frozen peas, thawed





Put the mushrooms, tempeh and carrots into a crock pot
(no need to steam the tempeh first). Combine onions,
tomato, bell pepper, garlic and broth in a blender container
and puree. Add the puree to the crock pot and mix well.
Add the paprika, parsley, dill, caraway seed, salt and
pepper to the crock pot and stir well. Cover and cook on
LOW heat 8 to 10 hours. Shortly before serving, puree
the silken tofu in a blender with a little liquid from the
crock pot until very smooth. Stir it into the crock pot, add
the peas and heat through. Serve over cooked noodles,
potatoes, rice or other grains.
