Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, minced
2 medium green bell peppers, minced
3 cups mushrooms, minced
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups veggie burgers (or other meatless burgers)
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced
4 cups cooked brown rice
2 teaspoons file powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne

Steps:

In a dry skillet, brown the flour, stirring constantly, until light brown in color (patience pays off in flavor later).
In a separate skillet, saute the onion, celery and bell pepper, in 3 tablespoons of oil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Add to the flour and mix well.
Brown the mushrooms in 3 teaspoons of oil. Add the veggie burger crumbles and brown well with the mushrooms for 10 minutes. Add to the onion and flour mixture and saute for another 10 minutes. Add the water and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. The mixture should be fairly thick. Add the remaining ingredients, mix well.
Serve with hot Tabasco hot sauce.
