Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Hot vegetable broth
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the TVP and hot vegetable broth. Stir well, cover, and let it sit for 5-7 minutes, or until the TVP has absorbed the liquid and softened.
In a frying pan over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for about 3-4 minutes, or until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Transfer the hydrated TVP to a large mixing bowl. Add the sautéed onion and garlic, nutritional yeast, flour, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, tomato paste, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly until a thick, moldable mixture forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a small splash of water or vegetable broth; if too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Serve the veggie burgers on buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or vegan mayo.
