TVP

[Guest guest]

Robyn, textured vegetable protein is available at health food stores, and you

add water to it to plump it up. It's basically the same as the Yves stuff you

mentioned, but cheaper and unprepared.

 

I think the best tofu is deep-fried (lots of texture then), but it's good

made like scrambled eggs and a softer texture is appropriate. Freezing hasn't

made a difference that I can see, but I know a lot of ppl think it does. Let

us know what you think!

Could you post the recipe for the red beans and rice? I'm still trying to find one we like.

 

magloro76 [magloro76]Saturday, July 20, 2002 4:35 PM Subject: TVPHello everyone,Bought my first bag of TVP and was wondering how best to use it. This has probably already been covered and I missed it...sorry but I am still new to all this.The bag has a recipe on it for Red Beans & Rice and I will try that but I was thinking more about using it in place of meat. Here are a couple questions I have but I would appreciate any info you can give me.1. Do I just rehydrate it and then use it as I would meat...for hamburgers, tacos,meat loaf, casseroles etc.? 2. Could I mix it with meat (we still eat some meat) for these type dishes?Thanks for your help,MaryTupperware Impressions 2qt.

Hi everyone!

 

If you want to avoid GMO (genetically modified) soy, the type of TVP to get is Organic "TSP" (Texturized Soy Protein). It can be found at most health food stores and through co-ops such as Azure Standard in the Pacific Northwest. It looks alot like bacon bits and can be used in its dry form for sprinkling on salads and such. It doesn't have smoke flavoring though and needs to take much of it's flavor from the sauces or other ingredients it's cooked with. The granules can be added to most any soup, chili or "wet" dish easily. You can also reconstitute the dry form by putting 1 cup of TSP with 7/8 cup hot water and let it sit about 5 minutes...then it can be used anywhere ground beef is called for. Because it doesn't have much fat of it's own, though, you would have to add some oil for some recipes. Dry TSP is generally cheaper than the "crumbles" or tubes of recipe-ready TVP.

Does anyone know of an organic brand of TVP. My food co-op does not carry one, but they could probably order it if I have a name.

Thanks.

Hi All!

 

When I use TSP instead of ground beef, I add ground hazelnut and ground onion to the TSP while it's soaking in the hot water. It gives a beefy taste!

I get my TVP from East Indian or Oriental shops. They are always salt-free.

Flavored TVP always has salt. By the way, have you ckecked out Hot Huck's,

Hello;

 

I was wanting to know if any of you might know if there's such a

thing as salt free/unsalted TVP please.

 

All that I have found as products are all full of salt.

 

Your help is gratefully appreciated.

 

Thank You!!!

[Guest guest]

Hello Donni;

 

Thanks for your help.

 

It's much appreciated.

 

As to flavoredTVP, I would have to flavour it myself, with no salt

spices and herbs.

 

As for Hot Huck's, never heard of them.

 

I bet they have lots of salt in it .

 

 

I'll check into it.

 

 

Thanks again.

 

Hope your weekend has gone well.

Hello Irene Marie,

I'm also from Canada. Hot Hucks is made in Vancouver, BC. Yes, pretty salty.

Health food stores usually stock unsalted TVP, and as I said, the oriental and

Indian stores have TVP that is completely unsalted, and you can get them in

different forms. There's the usual burger form, as well as cubes and cutlets.

I haven't yet mastered the larger sizes, I think I'm not soaking or cooking them

long enough. They end up feeling like tough sponges in my mouth.

 

Welcome,

Donni

Thanks for the info – it’s

TVP

 

 

By 'reconstituted tvp' I was referring to how we use

it - add the water to it (to reconstitute it

*before*

adding it to the chilli pot. You could of course

simply use half a cup of the dry tvp and add more

liquid to the cooking pot. We buy our tvp from the

health store in bags - it is unflavoured and

completely dry - and we use the kind that is in

flakes

or granules rather than in 'cubes' like me*t.

 

In the recipe, the idea is to have about the same

amount of tvp, once it has been reconstituted with

boiling water, as you would tofu or tempeh if you

preferred to use them. Tvp is inexpensive bought

as we

do. Also, it kinda keeps forever in an airtight

jar or

canister. And you can flavour it as you wish (by

flavouring the water you use to make it wettish).

 

I have No idea what the calorie or fat content is,

however. I should do a search to find out on the

net,

shouldn't I :=)

 

Now have I made all this as clear as mud???

Haven't

had my coffee yet! so ask away if you still need

to

know anything.

 

Best,

Pat:=)

Unless there is anything on the package to indicate otherwise (like

unspecified " natural flavorings " ), TVP is flavored with vegan

ingredients.

 

For instance, and this is not a full recipe, the fake gluten unturkey

that I have made is flavored with a broth made of:

 

2 Tbs soy sauce (I use low sodium)

1 tsp brown gravy flavoring (like Kitchen Bouquet or or Maggi)

1/8 tsp sage

½ cup chopped onion

2 ¼ tsp msg (I skip this because of the sodium in it)

½ tsp sea salt

½ tsp poultry seasoning

3 Tbs plus 2 tsp nutritional yeast

1 tsp corn oil

2 cups water

 

This is obviously for working with gluten/seitan, but the principles for

making other fake meats is similar.

 

You can buy TVP (texturized vegetable protein) and TSP (texturized soy

protein) in health or whole food stores. I have not yet seen this type

of product in regular grocery stores.

 

Basically, TVP/TSP is dehydrated and needs to be rehydrated in boiling

water or sauce.

You may want to try using oatmeal and possibly a little olive oil to put the

patties together. There's a lot of starch in oatmeal the seems to do a

pretty good job. After I form the burgers I generally put them in a HOT pan

which seems to hold it together a little better because of the browning and

hardening of the outside of the burger

Hi everybody

 

I have TVP I would like to make burgers with. After I add liquid

what

do you use to hold the TVP together? I would rather stay away from

eggs if possible.

 

Thanks for your help

Well since you're making burgers and you have rather bland ingredients,

the way we do it down in Louisiana, is first brown some onions that are

sliced thin, in just a little bit of oil to keep from sticking but not

enough to fry the onions.... if you do it slowly it will brown and maybe

caramelize (if you want a sweeter taste). After the onions are browned,

I'll add a little Liquid Smoke and a little Worschshire Sauce and even some

fresh crushed garlic after the burgers are cooked (don't cook the garlic, as

it will loose its flavor).

 

And for those who want their mouths to water with flavor, try an extremely

small amount of Louisiana Brand powdered Crab Boil. (Main ingredient is from

the Bay Leaf tree {Oil of Bay}).

Soooo I am not the only one who likes to use oatmeal, cooked or otherwise,

for thickening, stickingtogetherness, etc.! I agree.

 

I marinate the tvp in all kinds of stuff before I do anything with it -

unless it's

just thrown into the crockpot, in which case it takes on the flavour of

everything else. But of course, whoever made burgers in a crockpot!!!

 

Do you have a nice slimming version of your favourite burger???

 

Best love, Pat

Ketchup and gluten flour seemed to be enough to hold mine together. You

could also use some pureed beans.

There are many ways to make TVP have more

sticking power. Cooked oats, mashed potatoes,

mashed beans, mushy cooked rice, etc.

Just make sure the formed tvp-burgers are well

chilled before attempting to fry them up.

If you mix them together, form them, and then

try to cook them right away, they may still fall

apart.

Also, you could try forming them and baking them

on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

Well, I'm new to vegetarian lifestyle, however I just used TVP for the

first time today to make chili. I bought mine at a local health food

store and I paid $2.79 for 2.5 pounds. I am eating it right now and

its actually REALLY good! It can be used as a meat sub for things

like that in chili, spaghetti, etc.. hope that helps

Paco~ I am not familiar with all of those stores, but of the ones I do know

- you won't find it there!! but it can be ordered from " Food Fight!

Grocery " http://store.foodfightgrocery.com/tvp.html probably a few other

places too, but I love these guys! Everything there is vegan. They do

have a ten dollar minimum order, but there is plenty of stuff there to

try!!

 

If you want to find it locally, try a health food store. Or a regular store

that has a health food or organic section. I am finding that more and more

regular stores are putting in health food and organic sections.

Is it the granules?????

If so take a cup and place in a bowl, add about 7/8 or

a scant cup of boiling water and cover and let it sit

about 120 mins. You can flavor it, I like to squeeze

a garlic clove in with it, a drop of liquid smoke or

soy sauce or maybe a tbl. catsup, etc.

Yes, go read the TVP files,
