Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP) granules
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vegan liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Annatto powder (optional, for color)
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Place the textured vegetable protein (TVP) granules in a large bowl.
Pour the boiling water over the TVP and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it has absorbed all the water.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, and vegan liquid smoke.
Pour the mixture over the rehydrated TVP and stir to combine.
Add the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and annatto powder if using. Mix well to ensure all the flavors are incorporated.
Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs to the mixture and stir until a dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
Divide the mixture into 8-10 portions (depending on desired longganisa size) and shape each portion into a log.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the longganisa logs to the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Serve hot as part of a traditional Filipino breakfast with garlic rice and sliced tomatoes, or enjoy in your favorite vegan dishes.
