Wild Mushroom, Peruvian Potato
and Baby Greens with Tofu

This dish may sound exotic but it is a "homestyle" dish with a vegan theme - and it is really, really good!

When we first decided to try this dish as a part of the Quantum Wellness Cleanse, we were a little skeptical - not about how it would taste, but rather, whether or not it would "feel" like a complete meal. I mean, the main ingredient is potatoes, so it sort of felt like it should be a side dish. Well after having it, trust us, it would make a terrific side dish but it is equally as satisfying as a main dish. And it certainly is filling. The combination of the potatoes, greens and tofu make it complete.

We didn't have enough purple Peruvian potatoes on hand when we made it so we used what we had and substituted a variety of fingerling potatoes. It worked just as well and perhaps varied the color of the dish a bit more. In any event, we loved it and think you will too!


Wild Mushroom, Peruvian Potato, and
Baby Greens with Tofu


Ingredients

For the potatoes:

2 lb. purple Peruvian potatoes, diced
2 tsp. sea salt

Place the potatoes and salt in a pot, cover with water, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until just softened. Drain well and reserve.

For the mushrooms, tofu and greens:

1/4 cup of olive oil
3 cups sliced wild mushrooms (any varietals will work:shiitake, cremini, blue foot, chanterelle, oyster, hen of the woods, etc)
4 cups baby greens (spinach, stemmed and rinsed dandelion, or any other hearty baby green will work), washed well.
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 lb. extra firm tofu, drained well and cut into 1/2 inch dice
1 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped
1 Tbsp. cracked black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 1/2 Tbsp. vegan butter (try Earth Balance brand)

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan.

Add the mushrooms and sauté on high heat for 5 minutes, or until softened.

Add the greens and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes, or until the greens have just begun to wilt.

Add the remaining ingredients, including the potatoes, except for the vegan butter, and heat through.

Remove from the heat, sitr in the vegan butter, and serve immediately.

Makes about 4 servings.
