Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) Recipe Websites?
Anybody know of any good TVP recipe websites? I want to try to make tacos, or something tastey!!
Answers:
I ama former chef and use it quite often as I ma a diabetic and like to lessen my meat products, I use it like ground beef, for tacos, what I would do is cook some onions and peppers in some veg oil, add 1 1/2 cups of TVP, toast it for 2 minutes and then add a packet of taco seasoning, treat it like it was the meat, add the water and tomato product like paste or sauce and simmer it on low until the moisture has been evaporated.
I use it for chili, sloppy joes and stuffings in green peppers adn cabbage rolls, even to my vegie burger mix, it adds texture. Simply think of it as a replacement for meat, it has a bit of a bite, so some of you meat eating friend may think it is ground beef, that is the success of making it right.
