Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Boiling Water
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Button Mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Cooked Brown Rice
- 0.5 cup Vegetable Broth
- 0.5 cup Frozen Peas
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein with boiling water and soy sauce. Stir well, cover, and let it rehydrate for about 5 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet, stirring to combine. Season with paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir, allowing the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld and the broth is mostly absorbed.
Stir in the cooked brown rice and frozen peas, cooking until peas are heated through, approximately 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the savory ground beef and rice warm, and enjoy!
