Compassion Meal Recipes from Claude Good, International Friendship Coordinator and Worm Project Initiator Lentil Soup with Cornbread Soup: 1 lb. lentils 3 C tomato juice (or more if desired) 1 14 oz. can chicken or beef broth (optional) 1-2 15 oz. cans (or frozen) vegetables 1 sauteed onion 3-4 garlic cloves minced (optional) Salt to taste Catsup - several tablespoons (for those who like catsup) Barbecue sauce ½ lb. tofu cubed - can be marinated in broth or your favorite marinade (optional) Cook lentils in water to desired softness (but not too much). Add all remaining items, bring to boil and serve. Serves 6 - 8. Cornbread: 1 ½ C cornmeal ½ C flour 2 t baking powder ½ t baking soda 1 t sugar ¼ C oil 1 ½ C buttermilk or sour milk 2 eggs Beat entire mixture at high speed for 30 seconds. Bake in 10" heavy greased skillet or 9" pan at 450 for 20-25 minutes or till golden brown. Serve with lentil soup. Rice with Mackerel Sauce Rice: Saute 1 ½ C long grain rice in heavy saucepan (can also be done without oil) ½ onion chopped (optional) 1-2 cloves minced garlic (optional) 1 ½ C cold water Salt to taste When rice is well heated (about one half of grains turned opaque) add cold water. Bring to full boil, close lid and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for 15 minutes. Mackerel* Sauce: ½ can mackerel (15 oz. size) 1 - 2 C tomato juice ½ onion sauteed (optional) 1-2 cloves minced garlic (optional) 1 15 oz. can (or frozen) vegetables Small amounts of catsup and/or barbecue sauce can be added Break up mackerel in saucepan. Add remaining items. Bring to boil. (Vegetables can be heated separately to avoid overcooking.) Serve over rice. Serves 3-4. *Canned salmon can be substituted for mackerel but adds considerably to cost. These two recipes meet the requirements of simple, healthy eating and avoid the harmful aspects of the typical American diet, which leads to "diseases of affluence." They utilize foods eaten by people in areas of the world where heart attacks, strokes and diabetes are much less common. They are also less costly giving the opportunity to contribute the savings to programs that feed the world's hungry. One of those programs for example, is the "Worm Project," Franconia Mennonite Conference, 771 Route 113, Souderton, PA 18964.
