Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I purchased some Textured Soy Protein Granules at the health food store. They told me that they are vegan and gluten free. I thought they might be interested to incorporate into our diet. Does anyone have any good recipes? Thanks! Lisa Best, Lisa Lisa G.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 This is my favourite recipe and is great if you can find a good cheese substitute. Every so often I make just the schnitzel part of this recipe, shaping them longer and skinnier, and use them in a Subway type roll. I'll occasionally add TSP to a bolognaise pasta sauce. " Chicken " Parmagiana 1/2 cup textured soy protein 1/2 cup boiling water 1 tablespoon (3 tsp) vegetarian chicken bouillon powder 1/2 cup vegan GF pancake mix, dry (approximately) 2/3 cup crushed cornflakes (approximately) (and/or GF breadcrumbs or rice crumbs) salt, pepper, other seasonings oil for frying 1 cup pasta sauce (tomato, onions, herbs etc.) 100 g (3 1/2 oz) mozzarella-style vegan cheese (preferably one that melts) 1. Put 1/2 cup hot water in a bowl. Stir in bouillon powder. Soak textured soy protein in this liquid for 10 minutes. 2. Mix in just enough pancake mix to make a cohesive mixture that can be formed into patties. Mix in salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste (I use nutritional/savoury yeast, sage, thyme, onion powder and garlic powder and don't add any salt). 3. Put crushed cornflakes in a plate. Shape the mix into 2 large flat oval-shaped discs (about 5 " long x 4 " wide x 1/2 " thick). Coat in cornflakes, covering them completely. 4. Preheat oven to 200 C (390 F). 5. Heat some oil on medium heat in a heavy frying pan. Fry discs in oil until crispy, turning (carefully) occasionally. 6. Transfer to a baking tray. Top with some spaghetti sauce, and some soy mozzarella (I used a UK product called Cheezly that actually melts.) 7. Pop into the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes to melt the cheese and heat through. Serves 2. -------- COMMENTS One thing to note about this recipe is that is is quite wet and sticky, so use wet hands to form into rough patties and finish the shaping when they are partially coated in crumbs. -OR- Form thick oval patties and flatten into schnitzel shapes in the pan. ~ Kim. , lisasark wrote: > > I purchased some Textured Soy Protein Granules at the health food store. > They told me that they are vegan and gluten free.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 We use it for a sloppy joe type deal... saute onions, add water and TSP... when it looks like hamburger meat, add bbq sauce... My husband likes this better than the real thing. He is a die hard meat eater, and requests this a lot... We also use it in pasta sometimes... just cook the way I added before, just add italian seasonings & the pasta sauce. For taco filling, I add mexican spices like cumin, garlic, onion.. or just cheat and get a GF taco seasoning & whip it up that way... Any left overs can be used to mix with beans and make tostadas the next day... or freeze the concoction until you want mexican again. (We eat mexican food several days a week, if not every day at my house, so it gets eaten up within 48 hours.) You can also use taco seasoning mix and 1 onion (chopped) to the TSP mix... saute the onions first, toss it in a crockpot. Add a can of pinto, kidney and whatever other kinds of beans you like (rinsed) along with a can of chunked tomatoes...(We use about 4 cans of beans). and it is an EASY chili... it is really good. My family will devour this. Another easy method is to presoak dried beans in your crock pot before you go to bed. In the morning, dump out the water, add more and start it. Stir fry the onions, TSP and seasonings, dump it in, and dinner will be ready in about 5 hours. It is nice for hubbies who do not come home on regular hours... it will always be hot & ready to eat. That's pretty much all I have used it for. Hope that helps. Aubrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
