Eggless Foods on the Horizon?

The new hot thing in the marketplace is food start ups, especially catering to real and persieved allergies and problems with food. But we all can agree that eating low on the food web is better for the economy, the environment and for your body as well. A new company Hampton Creek Foods have found egg replacements in beans. While eating an egg is better than eating a chicken, it is still a tenth as efficient as eating the beans fed to chickens to make eggs. As a chef I look forward to getting a hold of the raw materials for baking.

Stuffed Zucchini VegitariMan! Style

VegitariMan's Dinner of Stuffed Zucchini

Today my minions we will make a delightful dish, food for you, easy to make vegan, looks good, tastes good and is cheap!
Our ingredients are as follows:
A large zucchini
one yellow onion
three cloves garlic
4 Tbls. Olive oil
2 Tbls grape seed oil or other frying oil with a high smoke point
1 cup dried mushooms
one cup TVP
4 Tbls Steak season
4 Tbls liquid smoke
Ok here we go. first cut open your zuch lengthwise and spoon out pith and seeds. I then flip the halves and trim the bottoms so they stay flat. When zuchs get this size they are no longer considered a thin skinned squash so you might just peal the bottoms away, but leave the sides!

Notice the classy canister I keep my TVP in!

 I brush the halves with olive oil and put them into a 9 x 13 dish and bake at 350-375 (175-190C) Now get out your veggy side kicks: TVP and 'Shrooms!

Take about a cup of dried mushrooms and soak them in two cups warm water.

After the shrooms are rehydrated, save the yummy water for our TVP!

Add an equal amount of TVP to the water, and if you want add some more TVP and some more water. Microwave or use hot water and let sit for a few minutes, then mix up with a spoon, much like you would oatmeal. I then add the beef flavored steak marinade and some liquid smoke.

I then french an onion and smash and chop a few cloves of garlic and cook on the stove the TPV until it gets hot and browns all through. I also added the mushrooms too!

When the squash gets nice and tender I spoon in the TVP mixture, some marinara sauce and some cheese (vegan or otherwise) put back in the oven for about 15 minutes, cut into serving pieces and serve with some of the TVP/marinara mixture on the side. Left over TPV can be used as a sloppy joe mix too. Eat well my minions and continue your quest for meatless foods!

Pretty much a gorgeous vegan dish you can take to any pot luck and impress them!
