A really delicious sauce, perfect over rice. I made it without the butter and it was still great; we had it over bowls of brown rice and tofu. -
This is incredibly good stuff. I used veg-friendly Worcestershire sauce, and had no tomato paste on hand, but it's still flat-out yummy. Served with baked tofu and white rice - - and I have to add that this concoction on white rice will make you want to eat an entire pot of it. Definitely a keeper!

Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
