Quinoa with Black Beans and Fake Meat

This recipe is something I created last night with some stuff I had on hand and it turned out to be really tasty and it is completely vegetarian. The fake meat is "beef flavored" Textured Vegetable Protein or "TVP", which I like to call "Soylent Green". I get mine from Honeyville Foods, who can be found HERE. We also like to get freeze dried fruits and such there.

Ingredients:

1 Cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
2 Cups vegetable stock (you can use any stock)
3/4 Cup flavored freeze-dried TVP meat substitute (I used beef flavor)
3/4 Cup hot or boiling water
2 Cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
2 Thai green chilis, finely chopped
1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 Tbsp Tamari soy sauce
1 Tbsp chili paste (Sriracha)
Sea salt to taste
Cajun seasoning to taste
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

1) In a medium saucepan, bring the quinoa and stock to a boil, stirring occasionally. once boiling, reduce to simmer, add garlic and chilis and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until quinoa is done, usually around 15 minutes.
2) While the quinoa is cooking, place the meat substitute in a bowl with the hot water and reconstitute per directions. Optionally, you can use real meat or another type of meat substitute, you just want to end up with about 1 1/2 cups.
3) When quinoa is done, add beans, meat substitute, Tamari and chili paste to the pot. Cook on medium heat until heated through, about 4 or 5 minutes. If too dry, add some water.
4) Season to taste with sea salt and cajun seasoning.
5) Serve immediately with chopped cilantro sprinkled on top.
