I've used something similar to the following in the past:

erm, how about this for resource "foo"?

require 'minitest/chef' # or require 'minitest-chef' ??

MiniTest::Chef::Resources.register_resource(:foo)

Some really great answers!!

John, Your approach was uber simple and directly addressed the specific use case I provided, and did the trick.

Bryan, Your answer addressed my wider question of "other resources". I couldn't get the exact code you gave me working, however it made things click for me, so I was able to get the following working:

require 'minitest-chef-handler'

MiniTest::Chef::Resources.register_resource(:chef_gem)

describe_recipe 'my_recipe::default' do

  it "installs the gem with the proper version" do

    chef_gem("foo").must_be_installed.with(:version, "0.1.0")

  end

end

Thanks again!!
