4 1/4 cups vegetable stock, boiling
2 cups short-grain brown rice
1 cup frozen green peas, cooked
3 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
3 tbsp. crumpled fresh thyme
1 tsp. granulated garlic
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place pine nuts in the small, dry saucepan, and toast over medium heat, shaking
pan constantly for 2 or 3 minutes, or until nuts are lightly browned. Set-aside.
2. Combine stock and rice in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat
to low and cook for 40 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
3. Remove from heat, and fold in green peas, chives and thyme. Stir in garlic and Aminos. Top with toasted pine nuts; serve.

by Seth Roth and Brian Devlin
serves 9
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound box lasagna noodles
6 cup marinara sauce (store bought or see recipe below)
16 oz. low-fat cottage cheese (for a richer texture, use ricotta cheese)
16 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chopped herbs (basil, oregano, or thyme)
2 eggplants, cut into circular slices 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick
6 - 8 zucchini, cut lengthwise into slices 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick

1/3 cup chopped basil
DIRECTIONS:

best), place a layer of dry noodles. On top of that, add about 1/3 of the marinara
sauce. About 1/2 the cottage cheese, and about ? of the mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle herbs over the top, and add a layer of vegetables. Repeat the process.
Finish with a layer of noodles, then top with tomato sauce and a thick layer of
mozzarella cheese.
3. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a folk

basil leaves or other fresh herbs.

the frozen lasagna for 50 minutes instead of 35 minutes.)
