Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hi. i recently came across this product on sale at an Albertson's store [like they might be discontinuing carrying it]. i bought a few packages but haven't used them yet. What is your favorite way to reconstitute them? Thanks.

It has a nice texture and is quite versatile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I love to sautee onion and garlic, add some water, toss in the TVP and a can of the Italian or Mexican flavored stewed tomatoes and cook about 20 minutes. Serve over rice or in the center of mashed potaoes... It's heaven. ~ PT ~ <patchouli_troll wrote: Hi. i recently came across this product on sale at an Albertson's store [like they might be discontinuing carrying it]. i bought a few packages but haven't used them yet.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 > Hi. i recently came across this product on sale at an > Albertson's store I've been using it since the 1980's, but from The Mail Order Catalog (Http://www.healthy-eating.com) . I toss it by the handsful into chili, soups, and stews, and as I type I have a loaf (recipe below) in my refrigerator cooling that I made with a beefy flavored one. They come in a neutral flavor (What I usually buy), chicken, beef, bacon, pepperoni (What I use on our pizzas) and various sizes. The small granules is good as a ground meat substitute, but the chunks or super-chunk size are great in stews, and the chicken cutlet pieces make nice sandwiches or can be cut to size for a chicken salad. Here's the recipe I'm using today. Bryanna allows her recipes to be freely shared and posts them frequently to her message board on VegSource.com and has a number of loaf & other faux meat recipes using the TVP granules. http://www.vegsource.com/talk/beginner/index.html For most of her loaf recipes, I find they cook better when just shaped and left open, not packed into a loaf pan. Others say they have no problems cooking them as written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nov 6, 2004 updated version BRYANNA'S NEW VERSION LOW-FAT VEGAN ONION " MEATLOAF " Makes 16 slices (9x5 " loaf pan) This is quick, cheap and easy to make. NOTE: You can eat it right away, but meatless loaves are always better, taste-wise and texture-wise, if you chill them after cooking. Then you can slice it up and reheat in the microwave or in the oven (covered) or by steaming, or serve it cold (good in sandwiches). It's good with gravy or tomato sauce, etc.. A: 1 and 1/2 c. granulated textured soy protein (TVP) 1/2 c. rolled oats (old-fashioned oatmeal) 1 and 7/8 c. very hot tap water 2 T. soy sauce or tamari 1 (40 g) packet vegan onion soup mix (Lipton's " Recipe Secrets Beefy Onion Soup and Dip " Mix is vegan; Fantastic Foods has a vegan, organic version, and some no-name brands are vegan) B: 1/2 c. minced celery 2T.- 1/2 c. minced parsley herbs to taste-- I used about 1 tsp. EACH dried thyme and basil 1/2 c. ketchup (you can use an organic version) 1/3 c. pure gluten flour (vital wheat gluten) freshly-ground pepper to taste OPTIONAL TOPPING: ketchup or barbecue sauce to spread on top Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix A ingredients together in a bowl and cool in the refrigerator or freezer (reason: if you add gluten flour to a hot mixture it will get stringy). Stir in B ingredients until well-mixed. Pack the mixture into an oiled loaf pan (9x5 " ), or an 8 " square baking pan. Spread optional ketchup or barbecue sauce on top of the loaf, if you wish. Bake 1 hour. See NOTE above about serving.
