Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons Water
- 3 tablespoons Breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegan Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein (TVP) with vegetable broth. Let it rehydrate for 5-10 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated TVP, flax egg, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce or tamari, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and vegan Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly until the mixture comes together like a cohesive meat dough.
Using clean hands, divide the mixture into 4 portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ½-inch thick.
Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a small drizzle of olive oil.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Avoid flipping too early to keep the patties from breaking apart.
Serve the Vegan Svizzera di Carne Trita warm alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, or use them as a plant-based patty for sandwiches or burgers.
