  Date: 29 Jul 96 14:03:41 EDT 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 4-5 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.
