I've been using it since the 1980's, but from The Mail Order Catalog

(Http://www.healthy-eating.com) . I toss it by the handsful into chili,

soups, and stews, and as I type I have a loaf (recipe below) in my

refrigerator cooling that I made with a beefy flavored one. They come in a

neutral flavor (What I usually buy), chicken, beef, bacon, pepperoni (What I

use on our pizzas) and various sizes. The small granules is good as a ground

meat substitute, but the chunks or super-chunk size are great in stews, and

the chicken cutlet pieces make nice sandwiches or can be cut to size for a

chicken salad.

 

 

Here's the recipe I'm using today. Bryanna allows her recipes to be freely

shared and posts them frequently to her message board on VegSource.com and

has a number of loaf & other faux meat recipes using the TVP granules.

For most of her loaf recipes, I find they cook better when just shaped and

left open, not packed into a loaf pan. Others say they have no problems

cooking them as written.

BRYANNA'S NEW VERSION LOW-FAT VEGAN ONION " MEATLOAF "

Makes 16 slices (9x5 " loaf pan)

This is quick, cheap and easy to make.

 

NOTE: You can eat it right away, but meatless loaves are always better,

taste-wise and texture-wise, if you chill them after cooking. Then you can

slice it up and reheat in the microwave or in the oven (covered) or by

steaming, or serve it cold (good in sandwiches). It's good with gravy or

tomato sauce, etc..

 

A:

1 and 1/2 c. granulated textured soy protein (TVP)

1/2 c. rolled oats (old-fashioned oatmeal)

1 and 7/8 c. very hot tap water

2 T. soy sauce or tamari

1 (40 g) packet vegan onion soup mix (Lipton's " Recipe Secrets Beefy Onion

Soup and Dip " Mix is vegan; Fantastic Foods has a vegan, organic version,

and some no-name brands are vegan)

 

B:

1/2 c. minced celery

2T.- 1/2 c. minced parsley

herbs to taste-- I used about 1 tsp. EACH dried thyme and basil

1/2 c. ketchup (you can use an organic version)

1/3 c. pure gluten flour (vital wheat gluten)

freshly-ground pepper to taste

 

OPTIONAL TOPPING: ketchup or barbecue sauce to spread on top

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix A ingredients together in a bowl and cool

in the refrigerator or freezer (reason: if you add gluten flour to a hot

mixture it will get stringy). Stir in B ingredients until well-mixed. Pack

the mixture into an oiled loaf pan (9x5 " ), or an 8 " square baking pan.

Spread optional ketchup or barbecue sauce on top of the loaf, if you wish.

Bake 1 hour. See NOTE above about serving.
