Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    6                    To 12 chilies
    3       c            Cold water
    1       pk           Soy or textured vegetable protein (12oz)
    2       tb           Oil
    1       md           Onion -- chopped
    1       cl           Garlic -- minced
    1       tb           Cumin
      1/2   ts           Red pepper
    1       tb           Paprika
   12       c            Water
 
   Wash, stem and remoeve seeds from the chilies.  Put
   chiliesin 3 cups cold water and bring to a boil.
   After about 45 minutes to an hour the skins should
   slip off easily.  Mash the pulp into a paste.  If this
   seems too difficult, you can substitute chili powder
   at the ratio of 1 tablespoon chili powder to a pod of
   chili. Read the instructions on the soy or TVP package
   to see if the product was soaked beforehand.  If not,
   use some of the water to prepare this ingredient.
   Saute the onions in the olive oil until translucent.
   Add the garlic and spices , then the 12 cups of water.
   Bring to a boil, then add the nuggets.  Reduce to a
   simmer, cook for 30 minutes to an hour.  If this seems
   too runny, you can thicken with masa, the cornmeal
   flour used in tortillas.  When made in bulk, this
   chili can readily be frozen.
