Five Days of Vegetarian Entrées

Founded in 1979, Elephants Delicatessen in Portland, Oregon, pioneered the gourmet food market with its made-from-scratch entrées prepared with local ingredients. This collection includes five of their popular take-away vegetarian entrées. Just bake until bubbly for a simple yet satisfying meal.

Polenta Dolcetta: Bob's Red Mill polenta mixed with pungent Gorgonzola dolce, then layered with a pleasantly spicy tomato sauce and gooey fontina cheese.

Lasagna Marinara: Bubbling melted cheese and béchamel sauce atop layers of tender lasagna noodles, rich red marinara sauce and velvety herbed cheese filling.

Zuni Stew: Southwestern mixture of roasted butternut squash, corn, blue lake beans and tomato, in a thick, spicy sauce, topped with locally sourced cheese.

Vegetarian Enchilada Roja: Toothsome corn tortillas filled with a medley of sautéed vegetables and cheese, covered in a zesty and lightly spicy roja sauce and topped with cheddar and Monterey jack cheese.

Coconut Curry: Classic curry stew featuring fresh vegetables – sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, celery, asparagus and broccoli – simmered in a coconut milk sauce, accented with ginger and cumin.
