Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I am working on a few recipes for a contest. I have one I'd like to offer up & hopefully someone will try it & tell me honestly if they like it or not. And I am curious - if a recipe calls for ground beef, would you pass it by or just substitute the meat for a vegetarian alternative? I'm calling this Fusion Confusion because it's based on American chop suey, the rice noodles are an Asian twist & the cinnamon is a Middle Eastern twist. It is SO simple & fast especially if you don't need to brown the meat, lol. I'm typing this recipe to be acceptable here. Thanks, Beth 2tsp oil 1 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 lb ground soy crumbles 1/2TB ground cinnamon 1 28oz can whole tomatoes Heat oil. Add onion & brown. Add garlic & saute 1 minute. Add soy crumbles, cinnamon & tomatoes. Simmer 5 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes w/the spoon a bit. Serve over cooked rice noodles.

When I see a recipe that calls for ground been (i.e. chili), I substitute either eggplant (works great in chili!) or the vegetarian substitute. My brother was in for supper one night and I'd cooked chili with eggplant - he said it was the best chili he'd ever eaten and he didn't notice there was no meat in it. This meat obsession (IMO) is something society is conditioned to accept as normal so (some) folks think a meal isn't complete without a meat offering.

Susan, I'd love more info about eggplant chili. I have half an eggplant that I need to use up today and I love chili. Can you share a recipe?
