Buddha's Jewels (Chinese/Vegetarian)
This is a great vegan dish.

Dumplings:
3 cakes of tofu pressed and mashed
2 T peanut butter
3 T tamari soy sauce
8 scallions, chopped
1 green pepper, diced fine
1 1/2 cups chopped mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
1/2 cup diced water chestnuts

Sauce:
1 1/2 cup pinapple, orange and/or apple juice
1/4 cup maple syrup, honey or brown sugar
1/3 to 1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup tamari soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
2 T cornstarch dissolved in 2 T cold water

In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients for the tofu dumplings. Shape into approximately 2 dozen 2-inch balls and place on an oiled baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, until golden and firm.

Combine all the sauce ingredients except the cornstarch in a stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch and simmer, stirring continuously, until the sauce is clear and thickened. Pour the sauce over the dumplings and serve immediately. Serve Buddha's Jewels with rice and steamed vegetables.

You could also consider something like Burritos filled with spiced beans, rice, guacamole, salsa, fresh roasted corn, olives, etc. Add a big salad with pumpkin seeds, jicama and some citrus for a nice meal.
