1. In a medium bowl combine the hot water with the 2 cups TVP. Set aside while preparing the chopped onion and green pepper.
   
   
   
   Heat a nonstick skillet, add the olive oil and quickly saute the chopped onion, green pepper and minced garlic. Cook until onion is slightly translucent and green pepper has softened slightly. Add the TVP.
