a collaboration

faux vegan and mrs. faux vegan (aka wifeofafauxvegan.blogspot.com) collaborated for dinner tonight. we decided to switch it up tonight. we had been having a lot of brown rice and stir-fry (our meat and potatoes) lately. so we made rice and veggies! haha! it truly was different, though. we made a variation of chiles rellenos. we used yellow rice and black beans, mixed with ground boca crumbles, and stuffed in red and orange bell peppers. the plan was to grill the stuffed peppers, but the briquettes were damp (later it started to pour, so it was for the best).

first, she started the rice, beans and boca crumbles. i was attempting to light the grill.




in the mean time i prepped the bell peppers and preheated the oven.




the peppers weren't able to stand on there own, so i made bases for them.






then we mixed the rice, beans and crumbles.



stuffed the peppers with the mixture and sprinkled with sea salt.





put in a pan with 1/4" of water in the bottom at 400 for 30 minutes and 450 for another 15 minutes.




voila.


serve with salsa and hot sauce to taste (veggie cheese and tofuti sour cream would be good, too. we were out.).
