Filled bell peppers with cream chard.

Fry one finely chopped red onion with 3 cloves of garlic in a little oil until they're soft and translucent but not brown. Add soaked and seasoned minced TVP and 2 chopped carrots. I seasoned the TVP with salt, pepper, paprika, lime juice, vegetable broth.
Fill the bell peppers and put in a casserole. I mixed the leftover filling with pureed tomato and water and put it around the bell peppers. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. The bell pepper should be soft but still slightly crispy.
In the meanwhile cut chard into pieces and first fry the white bits, add a little water to steam. Then add soycream and green bits of chard, season with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon mustard. Cook for about 10 minutes.
Serve bell pepper with the cream chard, it all fits perfectly together and was both beautiful and superdelicious.
