Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1.5 cups Boiling Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
Begin by soaking the TVP in boiling water. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the TVP and boiling water. Stir to ensure all the TVP is evenly saturated, then let it sit for about 5 minutes to rehydrate.
Once the TVP is rehydrated, drain any excess liquid that might remain.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to brown slightly.
Stir in the soy sauce, making sure the TVP is evenly coated.
Add the nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and the TVP is evenly coated with the spices.
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for another 3-4 minutes or until the TVP has a crispy texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Use the protein crumble as a topping for salads, stuffed in wraps, or enjoyed on its own as a high-protein snack.
