Vegan Meaty TVP Burgers

1 cup TVP
3/4 cup flour or wheat gluten
2 tablespoon bbq sauce or ketchup
1 tablespoon HP sauce
1 tablespoon Hot Sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (make sure its VEGAN, some use anchovies)
1 tsp multi seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 large onion chopped and diced


prepare tvp as instructed on package (1 cup water to 1 cup tvp, let water boil, add tvp, then let sit and rehydrate)

add all other ingredients in a bowl and mix together and form patties to an average veggie burger size WITH YOUR HANDS! This was a fun part. Lots of squishing. But it lets you form nice size patties that wont be super huge and will cook correctly.

Make sure you dont make them too big, as they wont hold together too well, and will take longer to cook through. I made my second one smaller and smooshed it down while cooking with the spatula, and that one came out way better..

Over a medium heat, oil a frying pan, and cook each side until browned over.

The insides will still be softer than the outsides, the tvp texture will be sorta chewy and awesome.

***dont be afraid to experiment with different spices and sauces in your mix, its totally up to your taste, but these came out very savory and delicious. Also, if your mix seems a little too "loose" when formin your patties, add more flour so it thickens up and your patties will be firm when formed and cooked***


This recipe uses store-bought salsa and taco seasoning to make a super-quick vegetarian taco filling from TVP. The TVP has a texture similar to shredded chicken when cooked. Wrap in a flour tortilla or stuff in a hard shell with lettuce, tomatoes and beans.

Ingredients:
2 cups TVP (textured vegetable protein)
2 cups water
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
1 package taco seasoning
1 red or yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
1/4 cup salsa
flour tortillas or taco shells
Preparation:
In a large skillet, heat the water over medium heat, and add the TVP, stirring well. Allow the TVP to reconstitute for 2-3 minutes.
Add oil and soy sauce, then peppers and taco seasoning, stirring well. Allow to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Mix in salsa and remove from heat.

Serve wrapped in a flour tortilla or hard taco shells. I like to eat this as is, but you could also add tomatoes, lettuce, beans and sour cream to your tacos.
