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":

  • 1/2 cup textured vegetable protein granules (TVP)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Pinch garlic powder
  • Pinch onion powder

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.

I hate salt

wait, is that even allowed?

[–] un_mask_me@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago

When it makes me sick, yeah

Going to second this, can make al pastor or carnitas pretty easily with TVP (also works with jackfruit).
