  • black-eyed pea cake (crispy cake of yukon gold potatoes and black eyed peas, served with chipotle aioli)

  • porcini cigars (hand-rolled phyllo filled with porcini mushrooms, almonds, and ground tempeh, served over a cashew pesto, finished with pomegranate seeds.)
  • sides of mashed potatoes and sauteed garlic spinach
  • port wine seitan (seitan cutlets pan-seared in a sauce of port wine and mushrooms, accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes, tempura onion, and sautéed garlic spinach)
  • feijoadinha with smokey tempeh (a lighter version of “Feijoada,” the Brazilian national dish: a stew of smokey roasted tempeh, black beans, chayote squash, and sweet potatoes, in an orange-lime broth)
  • hickory basted tempeh over horseradish crème fraiche (served with roasted fingerling potatoes and collard greens)
