Recipe - Nycima Roll

1 One half pound Firm tofu
1 tablespoon Oil
3 tablespoon Arrowroot
1 teaspoon Salt
One fourth teaspoon White pepper
1 tablespoon Agar flakes
1 teaspoon Dried marjoram
1 teaspoon Dried thyme
1 tablespoon Minced garlic
One half teaspoon Black pepper
2 One half cup Cima mix (see below)

CIMA MIX
One half cup Finely chopped onions
2 tablespoon Olive oil
1 cup Whole wheat bread crumbs
One fourth pound Ground seitan
One fourth pound Fine soy grits
One fourth pound Hand crushed frim tofu
1/3 cup Nutritional yeast
2 teaspoon Dried marjoram
2 teaspoon Dried thyme
2 teaspoon Salt
1 One half cup Water
1 cup Chopped spinach, packed
One fourth cup Chopped roasted red pepper
One half cup Pistachios
1 cup Green peas
1 tablespoon Agar flakes
One half cup Gluten flour
2 tablespoon Liquid lecithin

Rinse tofu and pat dry. Cube and puree in food processor with all
ingredients except cima mix.

Shape the cima mix into a 12" by 3" roll. Sread the tofu puree on a 12" by
28" piece of plastic wrap and roll around the cima log. Smooth out the
seam. Steam 30 minutes, let cool 10 minutes, slice and serve.

Note: you MUST have a steamer wide enough to support the entire roll from
underneath! If you don't, it will slip and come unrolled. It'll still get
cooked, but rather than a pretty, colorful roll to slice you'll have a
serious mess. This shouldn't be a problem, but for a broke person cooking
for nine @someone else's apartment, these harware problems have a nasty way
of only becoming apparently an hour before mealtime. (sigh)

CIMA MIX: (makes 4 1/2C Bro Ron suggests using the extra for 'meatballs'
or something. Far be it from me to argue w/my hero, but remember to use a
big enough skillet.)

Saute onions in oil until translucent. Remove from heat. Add bread crumbs,
tofu, seitan, soy grits, nut yeast, water and seasoning. Mix until evenly
dispersed. Add vegs and nuts.

In a separate bowl, mix agar and gluten flour. Heat lecithin and stir into
veg mixture, then stir in flour/agar mixture.
