“Meat” ‘n Potatoes, originally uploaded by speedvegan.

I was never a big fan of Meat ‘n Potatoes. I unknowingly became vegetarian at the age of 9 when I refused to eat anything with more than one nerve cell. I did eat a lot of potatoes though and tonight I decided to make garlic mash and try a new brand of veggie ground. So I ended up with some type of vegan Meat ‘n Potatoes. It hit the spot after my tough workout.

5 potatoes, washed and peeled
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 green pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp lime juice
1/8 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp dried oregano
16 oz textured soy protein
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp non-hydrogenated vegan margarine

1. Boil potatoes until tender.

2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in medium skillet over medium heat.

3. Add pepper and onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes.

4. Stir in soy sauce, lime juice and spices. Add textured soy protein and cook for another minute.

5. In separate skillet, saute garlic in 1 tbsp olive oil for 3-5 minutes or until golden.

6. Drain potatoes when cooked, reserving water.

7. Mash potatoes, adding reserved water as needed until desired consistency.

8. Stir in margarine and garlic mixture. Serve immediately.

It was very satisfying ! I will probably make this again soon.
