SO HOW'D IT GO?
I would rate this at a solid 3.5 to 4 out of 5 stars. I followed the instructions without altering the recipe first. The first step of mixing the flour, nutritional yeast, and soymilk yields a playdough-like paste not amenable to simmering. (Is this perhaps a typ-o and should be 1/2 c flour?) Carrying on, I added the rest of the ingredients and stirred it occassionally as I heated it. My playdough-like ball thinned to about the consistency of the refried beans. The flavor was a little bland and the texture just a little bread dough-like but both of these problems were improved upon when adding an additional 1/2 cup medium salsa. (I then added a 1/4 tps more salt since my beans and tomatoes were "no salt added".) I'm happily eating it now over brown rice and a spoon of guacamole. Good recipe overall, escpecially considering there is no added fat. Next time I'll try it with 1/2c flour instead of 1c flour. Thank you for posting this recipe.
