Cut off peppers' tops and carve out the stems. Save the tops. Remove the
seeds inside peppers. Soak peppers and tops in a pan with water and salt
for 10 minutes. After that, put them in boiling water for 1 minute. Save.
In a small pan, put water,garlic, onion and a dash of black pepper. Cook
until the onion is slightly brown. Add tomato and cook for 2 minutes,
stirring occasionaly. Add Gimme Lean and cook for 2 minutes, stirring very
well so that the onion will mix uniformly. Add the egg, if you like, and
cook for another 7 minutes or so, until "pretend meat" is cooked to your
taste. Remember to stir frequently so that the "pretend meat" will be
cooked evenly and won't stick to the bottom of the pan. Stuff the peppers
with the mixture and close the tops with toothpicks. Put in the oven at 350
degrees for 45 minutes to warm up the peppers. (Watch closely so that you
don't burn the inside!) Serve. (be careful because the inside is hot) NOTE:
Remember to remove toothpicks before you eat!
:) NOTE2:If you can't find colored peppers, it's ok to use only green
peppers.
