Vegetarian Brunwick Stew

(from reachesha’s recipe box)

This fresh interpretation of a Southern favorite tastes even better the day after it’s made. Crumbled tofu or TVP (textured vegetable protein) may be used instead of vegetarian burger crumbles. Liquid Smoke is a hickory flavoring which is stirred in near the end of the cooking time to add a pleasant smoked nuance to the stew. It is available at natural food stores. Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, available in natural food stores, is made without anchovies.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 package vegetarian sausage links, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, minced
  • 1 large white potato, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 3 1/2 cups vegetable stock or water
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (16-ounce) package frozen succotash
  • 3 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce or tamari soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (12-ounce) package frozen vegetarian burger crumbles
  • 1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the “sausage” links and cook until browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.

  2. Reheat the oil in the saucepan and add the onion, celery, potato, garlic, and ginger. Add 1/4 cup of the stock or water, cover, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid, add the remaining stock or water and stir in the tomatoes, succotash, Worcestershire sauce or tamari, mustard, sugar, allspice, Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 45 to 50 minutes, stirring occasionally. During the last 10 minutes of cooking time, add the reserved “sausage,” the vegetarian burger crumbles, and the Liquid Smoke.
