Faux Guacamole Recipes

MOCK GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Place peas and water in a saucepan; cook for about 2 minutes or until heated through. Drain; place peas in a food processor or blender. Add sour cream, avocado, lemon juice, garlic, cumin and hot pepper sauce; cover and process until smooth. Stir in tomato and onion. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve with vegetables or tortilla chips.

FAUX GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, mash the peas with a potato masher or fork, or process them with a hand blender or food processor. Don't overprocess; some texture is good. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until blended.
• Consider serving with tortilla chips, canned sliced olives, sour cream, or shredded cheddar cheese.

FAUX-CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, cornstarch, and red pepper in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a wok or extra-large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and meatless fillets; cook, stirring, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Push mixture to edges of wok or skillet. Stir sauce and pour into center of wok. Cook until slightly thickened, then stir to coat vegetables and fillets; heat through. Serve over hot rice and sprinkle with cashews.
