Prep: 20 Minutes      Cook: 20 Minutes    Serves: 4

  

2 leeks, whites only, thinly sliced
1 Belgian endive, thinly sliced
4 cups water
8 tofurky slices
4 large cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 large button mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 large Portobello mushroom, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons brown rice flour (or choice of thickener)
1 tablespoons vegan margarine
1 green onion, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions: 
1. Bring salted water, leeks and endive to a boil on high, reduce heat to medium and
simmer for  6-7 minutes, strain leeks and endives from water, set leeks and endive aside
2. Add mushrooms and thyme to liquid and bring to a slow simmer for 5 minutes
3. Reduce to medium low, add two tablespoons of the hot liquid to 2 tablespoons of flour in small bowl and whisk until smooth
4. Stir rice mixture into mushrooms and simmer until liquid has thickened to a gravy like consistency, season with pepper (salt if needed)
5. Fill the end of each tofurky slice with 1-2 tablespoons of leek endive mixture and roll up
6. Place rolls in groups of two in baking dish and top with mushroom sauce
7. Bake in 375° oven for 4-5 minutes or until tofurky slices are hot to touch

If mushrooms are not your thing, try a cashew gravy or perhaps a lemon velouté. Serve with a salad or brown rice, whatever happens to be your fancy!
