CALLING ALL CHEFS!
PLANT PEPPERONI SAUCE
For subs, pasta or muffin/bun pizzas. A simple, thick tomato sauce with Italian seasonings and Pepperoni Crumble! If serving with pasta it’s best to use penne or elbow, shell or bow tie macaroni. If you want more liquid add more tomato product or tomato juice. Due to the thickness it does not work well over spaghetti type pasta. This is a hearty sauce. It also works well as taco meat and sauce combined. You’ll like it! We love it!
Makes 6 cups

AFC MUSHROOM BOLOGNESE SAUCE ©
One of Steve’s favorite sauces was a bolognese sauce, essentially meat sauce with tomatoes, garlic and a bunch of other stuff. Both our mothers made it, but didn’t call it that.

Red rice is our go to meat for tomato sauces now. Give it a try. See for yourself!

1/2 t. ground allspice
2 T. walnut oil
1 c. fine diced celery
2 c. fine dice yellow onion
1 t. pink salt
fresh grind black pepper
1 c. diet COKE
In large saucepan bring the water, dried berries and salt to boil. Reduce heat and cook 1/2 hour or till fruit is plump and tender.
Add coffee, liquid smoke, powdered cocoa. Stir well.
Add guar gum powder through wire mesh strainer and immediately whisk into top of gravy till thoroughly dissolved and no white spots remain.
Add coriander, rosemary, garlic, tangerine zest and juice, brown sugar, smoked paprika, Hatch ground chile and allspice. Stir and salt and pepper to taste.
Add diet COKE. Stir well, then keep on low heat, stirring occasionally, while you saute the veggies.
In large skillet, over medium-low heat, melt oil.
Add celery, onion and salt, then saute till translucent and brown-tinged. Add to gravy.
Stir well and cook on low heat till all is to your liking.
Bring to room temperature, then pack into covered containers and refrigerate overnight to mature and meld the flavors.
