Another recipe from Isa Does It. I'm not tired of that book yet. I did make so many substitutions that I'm not sure the author would recognize her recipe. (Blasphemy, I know, but hopefully the vegan food gods will forgive me. It's still vegan, after all) I used twice the amount of cashews called for in the sauce. I used canned yams instead of baked fresh sweet potatoes. I used sparkling grape juice instead of the white wine (I really need to find some non-alcoholic wine) Anyhow, it still tasted pretty good. And I learned that I MUCH prefer fresh tarragon to dried. The licorice aroma/taste is nowhere near as harsh.
In fact, I've discovered I really like fresh herbs. They really make food taste fresher. And they are easier to measure and much more difficult to mess up. I will have to try my hand at growing an herb garden in the kitchen. If I can keep the cats out of it.
