Good day folks,

 

My name is Bill and my wife and I are elimating meat from our diet. We are in

our early 60's and have for some time been filtering out the meat. We have not

eaten beef in over three years and chicken figured in our diet once per week. We

have been meatless for three weeks. A plant based diet seems more in keeping

with our present state of health and certainly makes sense after reading The

China Study by T. Colin Campbell.

 

Here is a recipe which I intend to change by substituting the ground beef with

textured vegetable protein. There is a doughnut chain here in Canada called Tim

Horton's and their chili is very nice. I tried to duplicate it at home and

achieved success with ground beef. Now I will change it to add the TVP and

hopefully it will be a good alternative.

 

Billy's Chili

 

2 Cups Textured Vegetable Protein ( not sure if that will replace 500 gms of

ground beef)

1 medium onion, diced

1 Green Pepper, diced

1 14 oz. can Red kidney beans ( drained)

1 14 oz. can Italian diced tomatoes

1 14 oz. can Beans in tomato sauce

1 level Tbsp chili powder

2 Tbsp white vinegar

Ground opepper to taste

 

 

Drain and rinse the kidney beans in cold water. (Next step as I see it ) in a

small bowl add 2 cups of hot water to 2 cups of textured vegetable protein and

let stand until water is absorbed.) Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan and

stir well. Cover and simmer on low heat for (70) minutes stirring occasionally.

 

 

Any further advice on the quantity of TVP and the method would be appreciated.

 

Regards,

Bill
