Soy Chorizo & Corn Stew

Recipe by Cook's Hideout

I like to try vegetarian/ vegan “fake meats”. I know they are processed and everything but I still want to try them at least once to see how they taste. I’ve had some that I really liked, but some that were totally disappointing and inedible. So when I saw Soy chorizo in Trader’s Joes I had to try it and I have to say we really liked it and I’m going to buy this again. It was similar to Yves brand Veggie ground round but much spicy and garlicky. I served the stew with some brown rice. Yummyyyyyyy.

• 3 cups corn (– (from 3 cobs))
• 1 red bell pepper (– medium, chopped)
