Vegan Forever|||I only have one typed out-





Country Chili





1 cup tvp flakes or chunks


1 cup hot water


1 tbsp ketchup





Combine TVP, water and ketchup. Let stand 10 minutes





陆 large onion, chopped


陆 green pepper, chopped


2 cloves garlic, minced


1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (optional)





Heat a large Dutch oven, Add:





1 tbsp olive oil





Over medium heat, saut茅 onions, pepper and garlic a few minutes. Sprinkle over the TVP and stir with a fork:





1 tbsp chili powder*


1 tsp cumin


1 tsp oregano


录 tsp cayenne





Add the TVP to the pan and cook a few minutes. Stir in:


1 14-oz can tomatoes, coarsely chopped


1 14-oz can your favorite beans, drained and rinsed


1 cup water or vegetable broth





Cover and simmer for 30 minutes to one hour. Taste and add salt. If desired, add a 16-oz package of frozen corn during the last 15 minutes.








* Yes, that is one tablespoon. Mild chili powder gives a lot of flavor without heat.





This is not the kind of chili that improves with simmering. Freezes and thaws well and is excellent on fries and baked potatoes.|||You need to rehydrate TVP with vegetable broth. I usually just use boiling water with some spices and bbq sauce mixed in. Once it's rehydrated just treat it like hamburger.





Examples:


- Add to Hamburger Helper mix.


- Make tacos or burritos


- Add to a bean or rice dish.


- Make veggie patties by adding bread crumbs, chopped veggies and a little corn starch to keep things stuck together.


- Add to a veggie chili|||get this book:

My favorite is the empenadas.


tvp can be used as a meat sub in anything really though.





also here's this, just put in tvp in the search box:
