Looking for tips on recipes to try with textured vegetable protein. It’s neutral in flavor and I have no idea on what to do with it. Someone suggested soaking it in a vegetable broth instead of water, but gosh that didn’t work and just ruined what seasoning I was adding onto it.
Taco “meat”:
Make the taco “meat”: Combine the TVP, 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, olive oil, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
Put it in tacos, on nachos, in burritos (breakfast or otherwise), on a salad, etc. I make my own taco seasoning from this recipe to really get a punch of flavor. That site has a ton of vegan recipes as well!
This is the way to go, I use TVP the same way I might have used ground beef before going veggie. Works well with a tomato sauce as a fake bolognese too
Thanks a bunch. No salt in the TVP itself?
I hate salt, and usually add it after I cook. If you’re gonna add it maybe start gradually with a pinch or two if you really think it needs it, since you’re getting a lot in the soy sauce
Oh of course. I don’t often use soy sauce so I completely missed it. Its probably not necessary to add salt at all.
wait, is that even allowed?
When it makes me sick, yeah
Going to second this, can make al pastor or carnitas pretty easily with TVP (also works with jackfruit).
