Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups diced onions

1 cup diced red bell peppers

1 cup diced green bell peppers

3 cups chopped tomatoes

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic -- (to 5) minced

2 cups textured vegetable protein granules (TVP) -- hydrated in

1 3/4

cups boiling water

2 cups tomato puree

1 1/2 tablespoons tamari

1/4 cup lemon or lime juice

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon cumin

2 teaspoons dry mustard

1 pinch cayenne

1 pinch cloves

1 pinch cinnamon

1 tablespoon sorghum or unsulfured molasses -- (optional)

 

In a large, heavy skillet, saute the onions, peppers, and tomatoes in the oil

over low

heat until tender. Add the garlic and saute another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the

rest of the

ingredients, cover, and cook over medium-low heat about 20 to 30 minutes.

Uncover and

cook another 10 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and the flavors have all

married

well. Serve on whole-grain rolls with lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles or

cucumber

slices.

 

VARIATIONS:

 

Substitute tempeh, tofu, or another variety of textured vegetable protein.

 

Shiitake mushrooms or diced zucchini are good additions. Add to the onions,

peppers, and

tomatoes.

 

A touch of orange juice may sound strange, but try adding it with or instead of

lemon or

lime juice.

 

Chopped fresh cilantro adds an exotic touch.
