extured vegetable protein

[Guest guest]

Hey Christine,

 

TVP is not meant to be used plain, but it does taste delicious in

soyburgers, as a replacement for minced meat in lasagna and is yummy

in loaves (there is a recipe for a soy TVP and cashew loaf in the

files section). Don't know what king of TVP you get in the States,

over here it comes as dry flakes so I usually pour boiling water over

it, add tamari sauce, garlic granules, chives and onion powder and

let it soak up all the flavors. Then I just use it as I would use

ground (minced) meat.

 

Also, as I recall, Kathleen says it is okay to eat one serving of soy

a day, so I see no reason why you shouldn't use TVP as a protein

source. If you use soy pp for breakfast, simply have something else

on days when you plan to have soy TVP for lunch or dinner.
