In preparation for February 14 Valentine's Day

 

Isn't Valentine's Day ideal for love, as everyday is?

Animals in the meat industry are young and innocent,

like love.

How about a vegan menu for the Valentine's Day sweethearts?

Add to large pot of boiling water, they will swell considerably and will need to be monitored and turned for an hour. Set aside, they will shrink, drain. 

Marinade medallions and pit-removed soft medjool dates in teriyaki sauce (Soy Vay also called Soyaki available at Trader Joes) preferably 6 + hours for rich flavor.

Add to saute-ing mushrooms and onions, add pit-removed soft medjool dates, medallions and teriyaki sauce.
