8. NOTES : Here's a recipe which I've been making for years.
9. This is the original recipe from the Golden brown Temple of Conscious Cookery in Washington, D.C.
10. It makes a large amount, so the recipe can be halved, or possibly even quartered and it still works out well.
11. I like more vegetables than the original calls for, so I usually double the amount there.
