INSTRUCTIONS

PILAF
SAFFRON "CREAM
I made this last night and found it very satisfying ! The original recipe
was in Vegetarian Times but I did modifications to my taste and left out
any oil called for. Quick, easy and tasty this is enough for 4 servings.
Pilaf: In small amount of water (1/4 cup or less) saut. pepper, onions and
celery until crisp tender and all water has evaporated then add and stir in
cayenne and cinnamon. Pour in stock or bullion and bring to a boil. Stir in
couscous, cover and remove from the heat. Let sit for 10-15 min until all
liquid has absorbed and grains are swelled. If any liquid remains place pot
on low heat and briefly cook until all liquid has absorbed. Season with
salt, pepper and thyme or mint.
Saffron "Cream" Combine in a blender or food processor.
serve " cream " along with pilaf and a wild greens salad .
Tho the cream is not vegan, I am sure you could find a substitute using
other ingredients with all the ingenious minds this list shares !! ENJOY !!

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: to know him is to love him”

Only the Christian gospel presents….a way in which justice and mercy kiss each other… First, Christianity confirms the fact that justice must be satisfied. Sin must be condemned according to its demerit. This means eternal doom. The sinner must be damned because God must be inexorably holy and just. His all-powerful Being must vindicate His all-holy Being. Christianity never compromises the ever-blessed purity and excellency of the divine nature. Second, Christianity alone finds a way to satisfy infinite justice and provide infinite mercy at the same time. What no other religion has dreamed of, Jesus Christ has accomplished. He underwent the infinite wrath of God against sin and lived to bestow His mercy on the damned sinners for whom He died. The infinite Son of God took upon Himself a human nature in which He underwent the full fury of the divine wrath. The omnipotent God satisfied His violated holiness by punishing sin completely in His blessed Son, who “became sin” for His people. The justice of God was vindicated in full in the substitute, His own Son, our Saviour dear. He survived that awful vengeance and rose victor over the grave by the power of His own divinity. Now He offers to every sin-sick and “pleasure” – burdened soul an everlasting mercy. Perfect mercy and perfect justice in the gospel of the crucified.

John Gerstner
