Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup textured vegetable protein (TVP) granules
- 1.25 cups boiling water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.75 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, rehydrate the textured vegetable protein (TVP) by combining it with boiling water and soy sauce. Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, prepare a flaxseed 'egg' by mixing flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Allow it to thicken for about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the rehydrated TVP, thickened flaxseed mixture, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, thyme, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly using a spoon or your hands until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flattened patty, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the rissoles to the skillet without overcrowding. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the rissoles for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the cooked rissoles from the skillet and drain them on paper towels if needed.
Serve the vegan rissoles hot, alongside your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
