Making Plant-Based Main Dishes<br />

Baked Pota<strong>to</strong> Bar<br />

Bake pota<strong>to</strong>es in foil for 45-60 min. at 350°.<br />

Top with:<br />

• Roasted-Garlic Aioli Sauce (recipe below)<br />

• Steamed broccoli<br />

• Chopped raw vegetables including <strong>to</strong>ma<strong>to</strong>es, green onions, bell peppers, squash, anything in season,<br />

and anything from your garden<br />

• Lef<strong>to</strong>ver Vegetarian Chili (page 189)<br />

Roasted-Garlic Aioli Sauce:<br />

1½ C raw almonds, soaked overnight and drained<br />

1½ C raw sunflower seeds, soaked overnight and drained<br />

1 head garlic, roasted, cooled, and skins removed from cloves<br />

1 red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, and seeds removed OR ½ C sun-dried <strong>to</strong>ma<strong>to</strong>es<br />

1½ C extra virgin olive oil<br />

½ C fresh lemon juice<br />

1 tsp. Original Himalayan Crystal Salt (OHCS) (page 339)<br />

freshly ground pepper <strong>to</strong> taste<br />

Blend all ingredients well in a high-powered blender. Add a bit of water if necessary <strong>to</strong> blend <strong>to</strong> a smooth or<br />

chunky texture, whichever you prefer. We love <strong>to</strong> use a generous scoop of this as <strong>to</strong>pping for baked pota<strong>to</strong>es<br />

instead of sour cream. You can also <strong>to</strong>ss it in<strong>to</strong> whole-grain pasta with steamed veggies, or in<strong>to</strong> wraps. Can be<br />

frozen for later use.<br />
