Premium Choice TVP Mix 12x200g

TVP is a good source of iron, delivering 15 percent of the recommended daily value. It is a complete protein, containing all nine of the essential amino acids the human body needs to function. This is extremely important for a vegetarian or vegan diet, as fewer plant-based foods qualify as a complete protein.

TVP is used as a great substitute for ground beef used in Mexican and vegan recipes. You can use it to make tacos or enchiladas, Mexican chilli, vegan burgers. Once the TVP has been reconstituted, simply use it as a filling the same way you would with ground beef. For a more flavoursome approach try reconstituting it with stock or broth instead of plain water and browning the TVP with a little oil in the pan.

METHOD

2 cups of dry TVP serves 2 - 4 people

Add hot water. TVP/water 1:1. Let it sit for 5 - 10 minutes. TVP will begin to fluff and take on the texture of ground beef.

OR

Add TVP to a pot of soup or a sauce that contains plenty of liquid. The TVP will reconstitute as part of the dish - there's no need to do it separately.

RECIPE

Reconstitute 2 cups of TVP in vegetable broth. Mix in salt and pepper to taste. Add soy sauce and ketchup to taste. Mix in one egg (to bind the TVP).Mix in 1/4 cup flour. Form the mixture into patties. Bake them in the oven at 180C for 10 - 15 minutes, until they're brown and crispy.
