Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 1 cup Mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (vegetarian)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, add the textured vegetable protein (TVP) and pour the vegetable broth over it. Let it sit for 10 minutes to rehydrate.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the grated carrot and chopped mushrooms, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the carrots are tender and the mushrooms have released their moisture.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet. Stir to combine with the vegetables.
Add the soy sauce, tomato paste, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, paprika, ground cumin, and dried thyme. Mix well to evenly coat the TVP.
Season with black pepper and salt, adjusting to taste.
Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is well-combined and heated through.
Remove from heat and use as a filling for tacos, burritos, or savory pies.
