    Yum yum that sounds so good and I can't eat it on my low salt and potassium diet. I'm sure many more can.

    It's great to find someone else who likes meatless dishes. I sometimes make vegetarian chili and add in "just like ground" soy protein, for extra flavor + some Louisiana Gold hot sauce.

    One of my favorite dishes is barbequed tofu strips. These taste just like chicken.

    I love veggies, just plain steamed ones too. I would love to try this one out too, but i did not get step 3, what is remaining? I think you forgot to mention some ingredient, or the article got messed up while publishing? It happened to my articles twice, once the sequence got jumbled, and the other time the last half never got published!

    Rookie Expert. That means all of the spices and seasonings that were not mentioned in step 1 & 2. Because it is all vegetables, if you put the herbs in too early they can become overpowering.

    A great meal, but not just for vegetarians! I love it too.

    Interesting recipe. However, I don't like the green pepper. Green pepper has no nutritional value and it doesn't add to the taste at all. Just from a Chef's point of view.

    Non nutritious may have been too strong a word.

    When consuming a vegetable with Vitamin A it should have at least 10% to be a good source of nutrition.

    Red Peppers have 3 times more Vitamin C than Green Peppers. Greens peppers can be nutritious if eaten in large quantities. You would have to replace all of your daily fruit with them to get your Vitamin C for the day.

    As for Iron, peppers don’t meet the percentage either as opposed to broccoli, spinach, kale, Collards, asparagus, and dandelion greens.

    I still like the recipe even though I’m not a vegetarian.

    Green and Red peppers have loads of folate!

    Pretty close to my recipe but I add Trader Joes soy meatballs crushed up in it.


    great post!
