[Vegan Casserole-roasted Chicken with Tarragon]
...not sure if I ever mentioned this before but
an asterisk before a recipe indicates that the recipe can be prepared ahead of time or in part...this was to help home cooks make the most of their time by allowing them to prepare some elements in advance...
...Julia is using a whole chicken...but I'm using to 'breasts' that I cut out of tofu...but you brown them in vegan butter...
...then you set your casserole on the heat and add vegan butter, onions and carrots...and cook slowly for 5 minutes without browning...
... then add some tarragon...
...and set the vegan chicken over the vegetables...
...cover with foil and roast for an hour and twenty minutes...
...of course we didn't roast this small casserole for that long...but about a half hour so that everything melded together well and cooked through...
...then you make a brown tarragon sauce, with vegan broth, and cornstarch that you've blended with Madeira (which I never have so I used white wine)...
...pour the sauce over the casserole...
...we served it with rice and peas...
...really delicious...
