Jamaican Jerk Tvp Casserole/Stir Fry

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine 1st 6 ingredients and 1/2 the lime juice. Set aside.
2. Place all sliced vegetables in oval casserole. Cover with garlic and jalapeno. Sprinkle with salt. Drain TVP and reserve marinade.
3. Preheat oven to 350F. When warm, pour 1/2 marinade over food in casserole, add in a little water and cover. Bake for 1/2 hour till veggies are tender. Remove from oven. Heat leftover marinade in a small pan till hot.
4. To serve, mound some cooked rice on plate. Drizzle some of the leftover marinade over and put 1/2 the veggie/tvp mix over rice. Drizzle a little more of the leftover marinade over. Garnish with some jalapeno slices (or possibly habaneros if you prefer), some scallions and some lowfat sour cream (to ease the burn).
5. If you want to make this a stir-fry, heat 1 tbsp canola oil in a wok or possibly lg skillet. Add in the harder veggies first (peppers, then squash, then scallions) and stir-fry for a moment till crisp-tender. Then add in the TVP. Mix a little cornstarch with some water (1 tsp to 1 tbsp) and add in the leftover marinade when the tvp is heated through. Then stir in the slurry a little at a time till the sauce is thickened. Do not add in too much. It should be done and then put it over the rice and garnish as you wish.
