Sweet and Sour TVP with Pineapple

[Guest guest]

Stef,

 

TVP comes dried (generally in granules or chunks,) and has to be rehydrated. It

can come flavored like " beef, " " chicken " etc., or plain. To some extent it does

soak up the flavors of the other foods it's combined with. Here's one of my

favorite TVP recipes. I highly recommend the book it came from, too.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup TVP chunks

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 1/4 cups hot water

1 cup sliced carrots

1 green pepper -- cut in 1 " squares

1 20 oz. can pineapple chunks

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup cider vinegar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 cup tamari soy sauce

 

Combine TVP chunks, ketchup and hot water, and let stand for 5 minutes, then

cover tightly and microwave on medium high power for 10 minutes, or add 1/2 cup

liquid and simmer in a covered pan until chunks are tender but not mushy - about

20 to 30 minutes.

 

Bring 1 cup of water to a boil and add sliced carrots and peppers. Cover,

return to boil and cook for 2 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from heat and

drain, reserving liquid.

 

Return liquid to pan and add the juice from the can of pineapple. Bring this

liquid to a boil, and add the sugar and cider vinegar.

 

In a small bowl combine the cornstarch and tamari. Stir the cornstarch mixture

into the hot liquid. The sauce will thicken and come to a boil almost at once.

 

Add the cooked TVP, the carrots, peppers and pineapple to the sauce. Serve on

rice or crisp chow mein noodles.
