Instructions: ** Original Recipe called for 2 tbs soy margarine to be added to the potatoes, but I dont use it and the potatoes are still wonderful!

Mashed Potatoes

Bring water to boil and add potatoes. Reduce heat and cook until potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork (about 15 minutes). Drain well and place in medium mixing bowl. Add soy margarine, salt, pepper and Soy Dream. Using an electric or hand mixer, mash potatoes until thick, smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve topped with Herbed Gravy.

Lentil Loaf:
In medium saucepan, combine lentils and vegetable broth or water and bring to a full boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Ad 3/4 tsp. salt, then continue simmering for about 15 minutes or until lentils are soft and the water has been absorbed.

In a small pan, saute onions in oil until translucent. Add celery and carrots, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Pour vegetables into a mixing bowl and combine with bread crumbs, rice, lentils, and seasonings. Place mixture in a 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pan lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Spread a thick layer of Mashed Potatoes on top. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Cut into thick slices and serve with generous amount of Herbed Gravy.

Herbed Gravy:
In a 2 quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add flour, and stir often for two minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for several minutes. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Whisk together with the flour/oil, half at a time to avoid lumping. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If gravy seems too thick, simply whisk in additional water, one Tbs. At a time until desired consistency is reached.

Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Gravy will thicken as it cools. Stores well in the refrigerator for several days. To serve at a later time, reheat slowly over a medium flame, making sure to stir well. Add a Tbs. Or two of water if necessary.

Yield: 1 1/2 - 2 cups
