Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 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.
