Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP) granules
- 1 cup Hot vegetable stock
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Grated onion
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein (TVP) granules and hot vegetable stock. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the TVP has absorbed the liquid.
Add the breadcrumbs, flour, grated onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, tomato paste, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the rehydrated TVP mixture.
Using clean hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture is too wet, add a small amount of breadcrumbs until it holds together.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a flat patty or rissole using your palms.
Heat the cooking oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the rissoles in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Remove the rissoles from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve the mock beef rissoles warm with a side of mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
