Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of textured vegetable protein (TVP) with 1 cup of vegetable broth. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the TVP is rehydrated and the liquid is absorbed.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown.
Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Stir well to combine and evenly coat the TVP with the spices. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the TVP achieves a crumbly texture and is fully cooked.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Serve the Dairy-Free Savory Protein Crumble warm as a topping for salads, pasta, or as a filling for tacos.
