The Betty Crocker Project : Osso Bucco

Ingredients

1 package of Gardein Homestyle Beef-less Tips
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper ( freshly ground )
2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
2 tablespoons of Apple Juice
1 Clove of Garlic (minced)
1 cup of Better Than Bouillon Broth ( vegetable flavor - made into a broth per directi
3/4 teaspoon Braggs
2 Bay Leaves (dried)
2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh and chopped)
1 tablespoon Lemon Peel (grated)
6 cups of Mashed Potatoes (see below)
Ingredients for Mashed Potatoes:
6 inches Medium red Potatoes (chopped - not peeled - we like the skin there)
1/2 cup Soy Milk
1/4 cup Margarine (softened)
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon of Black Pepper

Preparation

1
Boil the Potatoes in a 2 quart saucepan - make sure you have enough water to cover the Potatoes. Once the Potatoes are tender when stab them with a fork, drain the Potatoes through a colander.
2
Pour the cooked Potatoes back into the saucepan and blend with a Pastry Blender. Add Soy Milk, Margarine, Salt and Pepper. Blend with an electric hand mixer till it is perfection. It takes less than 5 minutes. . . be sure and get all the lumps out.
3
In a shallow bowl or deep dish, mix Flour and Pepper. Coat the Gardein with the flour mix.
4
In a 4-quart Dutch oven, heat Olive Oil over medium heat. Cook Gardein in the oil till the outside gets a crispy coasting - you need to keep the extra coating from sticking to the bottom - so scrape the bottom of the pot with a spatula while cooking a few times.
5
When the Gardein is brown on all sides, stir in Apple Juice, White Wine, Garlic and Onion Powder. Reduce heat and stir. The sauce will start to thicken in less than a minute. Once it starts to thicken, add the Better Than Bouillon Broth, Braggs and Bay Leaves. Let simmer uncovered. If you cover it - the Gardein will get mushy.
6
Once it comes to a boil, remove from heat. . . You're ready to serve!
7
Place one or two scoops of Mashed Potatoes on a plate and then ladle the Gardein and "Gravy" on top. Sprinkle with Vegan Parmesan, grated Lemon Peel and chopped fresh Parsley. Be sure and get a lot of the Gravy/Broth. . .it is really the best part. (I was kinda -sorta licking my plate after I finished dinner to get it all)
