Peanut Butter Hummus
Garbanzo Beans (Either Canned Or Cooked)
Reserved Bean Water
Peanut Butter (I Enjoy The Smooth, Grind-Your-Own Style)
The amount of ingredients in this recipe depend on your personal
taste. Adding the garbanzo beans to the peanut butter allows one to
enjoy the flavor without such a high fat content. In a large bowl
combine the garbanzo beans and peanut butter. Place in a food
processor or blender. Blend ingredients, adding reserved bean water
until preferred consistency is reached. The blender technique
requires a lot of stirring. I suggest doing this recipe in small
batches if you're using a blender. Serves: As many as you like.
Preparation time: 10 minutes if you're using a lame blender.

Wonderful Cheese and Apples

125 g round camembert cheese (including rind), cut up

Line a 23cm (8") quiche pie dish, pie plate, or cake tin with foil or plastic wrap. Stir the milk and sour cream into remaining cream cheese, spread into container.
Sprinkle chopped nuts over cheese layer; press gently into cheese, Spoon camembert mixture over nuts, spreading to edges of container.
Place plastic wrap directly on cheese; then cover tightly. Refrigerate at least 2 to 3 days before serving (flavour is better if kept up to a week).
To serve: Remove the plastic wrap from top of cheese. Turn out onto serving plate; peel off wrapping. Sprinkle with parsley. Surround with unpeeled apple slices.
Note: To prevent browning, dip apple slices into lemon juice. You can prepare this cheese round and freeze it for up to several months.

TVP EXTRAORDINAIRE!
Desire wrote the following excellent information on TVP (textured
vegetable protein):
For TVP mince you can use recipes calling for ground beef. If using
it for rissoles, add mashed potato to the mixture to get it to
blend. Dehydrated mash is great.
For TVP chunks you can use any recipes for stews, casseroles etc.
including crockpot recipes - as it holds its shape regardless of
length of cooking.
If using plain, unflavoured TVP, the secret is in the soaking.
Whatever flavouring you are going to use i.e. curry, chili etc.
should be made into a liquid and the TVP should be soaked in this
liquid - it will then absorb the flavour required. You can use soup
powder, stock cubes etc.
TVP mince can be soaked in warm liquid for 20-30 minutes before
cooking. TVP chunks should be soaked in cold liquid for at least 4
hours to get the chunks soft all the way through.

linguine-red-bell-pepper-tvp
-------------------------
This comes from "366 Healthful Ways to Cook Tofu and
Other Meatless Alternatives", by Robin Robertson. (modified)
1 latge onion, thinly sliced
2 lbs red bell peppers, cut into 1/2 in strips
2 TBL chopped fresh basil, or 1 1/2 tsp dried
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 c vegetable stock
1 c. TVP combined with 1 c. boiling water
(let sit about 20 minutes)
1 lb linguine
2 TBL minced fresh parsley (optional)
In a large skillet, cook onions and peppers in water or broth over
moderate heat, stirring frequently, until the onion slices turn
translucent, about 10 minutes. Add basil, salt, and pepper and cook
for another 5 minutes or so, until the peppers are tender. Add 1 cup
of the stock to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes longer. Pour the
pepper sauce into a food processor or blender, and puree until it is
the consistency of a thick tomato sauce. Transfer sauce to a
saucepan, add the TVP, and cook over medium heat until heated
through, 2 to 3 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with the
remaining broth until it is the desired consistency.
In the meantime, cook the pasta in a large pot until tender but still
firm (follow package directions). Drain well, and toss the pasta with
the hot sauce in a serving bowl. If desired, garnish with parmesan
cheese and parsley.
Makes 4 to 6 servings

Chop the onion, peppers, garlic and simmer in a pan till onions
