Ingredients:

  1. 4 large sweet potatoes
    1 cup chopped broccoli
    1 cup chopped cauliflower
    1 medium leek, chopped
    1 red bell pepper, cut into 1″ squares
    1 teaspoon herb de Provence (dried French herbs)
    4 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman’s VegiZest or other no salt veggie soup base
    2 cups chopped organic spinach
    1/2 cup carrot juice
    4 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 cup firm tofu, water squeezed out and crumbled
    1 cup hazelnuts, brazil nuts, or almonds, chopped medium fine (optional)
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

    4. Drain vegetables, reserving vegetable liquid in pot.
    5. Whisk cornstarch into carrot juice and whisk into boiling vegetable liquid until it thickens. Add vegetables and crumbled tofu to sauce and toss to combine.
    6. Divide mixture into two 8-inch pie pans. If desired, top with 1/2 cup nuts. Spread sweet potatoes over the top and sprinkle with remaining nuts if desired.
    7. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes until hot and lightly browned. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.
