Boca Green Chili Mash

Yum
This is a very simple and humble dish, but don't underestimate it. The green chilis complement the mashed potatoes and turns them into yummy vegan comfort food. The crumbles also add some protein to make this a one-dish meal.

I got the idea for this recipe from a family member who makes something similar but deep fries them into little croquettes. I am very happy with the mash and have never taken the time to fry them up, because they taste great already and are much quicker this way.

Also, if you don't have the Boca Crumbles you could use your favorite TVP (textured vegetable protein).

Boca Green Chili Mash


Ingredients:

2 pounds potatoes (about 6 medium potatoes)

1 cup reserved water from cooking potatoes
4 tbsp margarine
1 tsp salt

1 small 4 oz can chopped green chilis
6 oz Boca Meatless Ground Crumbles

Directions:

Wash and dice the potatoes and put them in a large saucepan with water to cover (you can peel them if you want...or not). Bring to a boil and let cook through until ready to mash. You want them soft and easily pierced with a fork, but not completely falling apart.

Once the potatoes are ready, drain off the water (be sure to reserve some of the cooking water). Add the margarine and mash the potatoes until there are no clumps. If the potatoes seem dry add a little bit of the cooking water and mix. Keep adding a little bit at a time until you get a consistency that you like. Then add the salt.

Finally, add the chopped green chilis and the ground crumbles. Let it all heat through over low heat and serve. You can add your favorite vegan cheddar cheese, but it is great without this too.
