Red Wine Cranberry Glazed "Chikn"

1 bag vegan "chikn" (I use Morningstar Farms Chicken Meal Starter)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chopped garlic
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp dried chopped cilantro
2 heaping cups homemade cranberry sauce
1 cup red wine

Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, cumin, cilantro, and cranberry sauce and let thicken. Stir in "chikn" and wine, let sauce reduce until "chikn" is heated through. Serve with heated white corn tortillas or over brown rice.

Cranberry Sauce Recipe

1 bag fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup cold water
1 cup sugar (I use Florida Crystals)
2 tbsp lime, lemon, or orange juice

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. The cranberries will begin to pop and cook down. Boil down to desired thickness and let cool.

In the begining...

In 7 short days I will be relocating to Rapid City, South Dakota. I plan to use this blog to share my adventures in vegan cooking. It is my hope to found a Rapid City Vegan Meetup group that will have monthly potlucks.
