This dish came from Vegetarian Gourmet way back in the 90s. I think the mag is now dead. The recipes were excellent so that is a shame that it went the way of Veggie Life. They came up with some great sides and meatless mains. This goes very well with Black Bean Stuffed Peppers and I will post that recipe also.

Note From The Chef

philocrates October 23

Note this can work as a Veggie main dish for a holiday and make a nice side for everyone else. It doesn't take much to make it and you can actually stick it in with the turkey if you are making one. Serve with something like sauteed mushrooms in place of the gravy for Veggie guests. I have also served it with a great mushroom gravy which also was meatless to Vegetarians.
