MMMMM-----------------------ACCOMPANIMENTS----------------------------
           Vegan sour cream

  Warm lecithin by placing the bottle in simmering water on the stove
  till lecithin is runny.  Stir into the flours & salt & set aside.

   Blend the vinegar, tofu & water till smooth.  Combine with the flours
  handling till the dough has a medium stiff consistency. Roll out
  dough on a floured board forming a 21" x 6" rectangle 3/16" thick.
  Cut into 8 equal pieces about 3" x 3" each.  (Rolling the dough a
  littel thinner may yield another 3 pieces).  Place about 1 1/2 tb
  filling on each piece. Wet the edges of the dough. Stretch one corner
  of the dough to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle & press
  together, sealing the pierogi.
   Bring water to a simmer in a large pot.  Drop each pierogi carefully
  into the water & cook in the simmering water till the pierogi rises
  to the surface. Remove & drain. They can be sealed in a plastic wrap
  & kept in the fridge or frozen at this point.
   To serve the pierogi, saute in oil until lightly browned. Serve with
  vegan sour cream.
   POTATO FILLING: Cook potatoes till soft.  Drain & mash immediately
  until they are smooth.  This should yield 4 c packed potatoes. Add
  yeast, salt & pepper & mix well.
   Saute onions in oil till translucent.  Blend tofu till smooth. Stir
  onions & tofu into the potato mixture. This filing should keep
  refrigerated for a week.
   CABBAGE GARBANZO FILLING: Heat oil in a large skillet. Add cabbage,
  onions & seasonings.  Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add
  water & flour & cook till thickened. If necessary, add more flour a
  tb at a time. This filling should keep in the fridge for a week.
