The trick to the recipe is the SWEET POTATO and the BALSAMIC VINEGAR. I added them together on a whim and am so very happy I did. There is a tart yet sweet flavor to this dish that I have never tasted in any other.

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:42:09 +0000

I am attempting to make one Vegan recipe each week. The toughest part of eating vegan for me is the fact that I am usually starving 20 minutes after I eat. The recipes that include some sort of grain seem to keep me fuller longer. So, here is one of those recipes for you.

I found it in a book I recently purchased
It is sort of a crash course for beginners on how to become a Vegan.
