Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth or water
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the TVP and vegetable broth (or water). Stir to ensure all the TVP is moistened and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the TVP has absorbed all the liquid and softened.
While the TVP is rehydrating, in a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce (or tamari), smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Pour the spice mixture over the TVP in the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the crumbles with seasoning.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to blend and the crumbles to develop a slight crispness.
Remove from heat and use immediately as a meat alternative in your favorite recipes, or allow them to cool and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
