[Vegan] Meaty Beans

Saute some chopped onion, and add TVP.  Add enough water to rehydrate the TVP.  For seasoning, add in a splash of soy sauce, paprika, bbq sauce, vegan worchestire sauce, chili powder, home made veggie broth powder.
Add in cooked beans (I used a mixture), along with canned tomato sauce.
Top with goat cheeze.

Chilli Quesadilla

Good gosh, I'm so sleepy right now.

 

 

Thus I will leave you with a yummy quesadilla and then call it a night...

Adapted from Floral Foodie

Saute 1/2 small onion, a few slices of bell pepper, and 2 cloves garlic.  Add in 1/2 cup cooked kidney beans, 1/2 cup Soyrizo, 1/2 tbsp cumin, chili pepper, diced tomatoes, home made veggie broth powder, and 1/4 cup TVP.  Add in enough water so the TVP is rehydrated, and let simmer for a few minutes.  Spread inbetween 2 tortillas, and bake for a few minutes.  Easy and yum!

Sloppyyyyyyyyyyy Joes!

So, I was volunteering at a food pantry last Friday... and they were going to be closed to the public for the next 4 days, so they needed to give away all of their bread and desserts.

They had piles of it.  I mean, PILES.  Probably over 2000 loaves.

Unfortunetly, they were not able to give it all away - clients took all that they could for their families, but there was still leftover bread.

So, about 750 loaves of perfectly good bread were thrown away.  I took a few loaves home, mostly for M to make PB&J sandwiches, but... what a waste.  It killed me.

• A handful of mushrooms, finely chopped
• 8 oz tomato puree
• ~1/3 cup TVP
• Fennel seeds
• basil
• sumac
• garlic powder
• sage
• paprika
• Italian seasoning
• Burger buns, cheese, pickles to serve

Sautee the mushrooms, and add remaining ingredients and simmer for ~30 minutes, until the TVP has absorbed the tomato.  Serve on buns, topped with pickles and the best cheese in the world.

TVP Burgers

Epic burger-ness!

Yay!

And, like M said, the pickles are the best part.  (Totally kidding ;) )

Adapted from Melomeals

For the sauce: blend together 1/2 cup tofu, 2 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp garlic powder, a few pickles, liquid smoke, and 1 tsp dried mustard.  Set aside.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.  In a large-ish bowl, mix together 1 cup tvp, 1/2 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, fresh chopped oregano, sage, paprika, 1 tbsp flax meal, 3 tbsp nooch, 1/3 cup oatmeal, and 1/2 cup italian flavoured bread crumbs (whew!  That was a lot!)
Pour about 1/2 of the boiling water into the tvp mixture, and add 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, liquid smoke, 2 tbsp ketchup, and a bit of balsamic vinegar.  Add water until the mixture can be formed into patties.  Shape into patties and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.  Serve on hamburger buns with tofu sauce, cheeze sauce, and pickles!

TVP Sliders

Burgers make me feel like a rebel...

Adapted from HHL

Finely chop and saute 1/3 cup onion, 1 1/2 cups button mushrooms, and 2 cloves garlic until all the liquid is gone.  Chop a bit of parsley.  Mash 1 1/2 cups canellini beans.  Then mix all of this stuff together with 1 1/2 cups TVP, 1/2 cup nooch, 1 tbsp cider vinegar, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp smoky/spicy seasoning, 1 tbsp Spike seasoning, 1 tbsp veggie bouillon, and 1 tbsp mirin.  Stir in a scant 1 cup hot water, so the TVP soakes it up.  Add in whole wheat flour as needed - I used a couple tbsp.  Shape into patties and bake at 375 for 20 minutes.
Serve on buns with pickles, vegan cheese, and ketchup!

Orzo with a Very Flavourful Sauce

So, when I say flavourful, I mean FLAVOURFUL.  This packs a punch.  Not for the faint-hearted... Adapted from PPK.

Heat 3/4 cup pineapple juice, and then add in 3/4 cup TVP.  Allow TVP to soak up liquid, adding more juice as needed. 

In a saucepan, saute 1 small chopped red onion and ~2 cups broccoli florets.  Add in 6 cloves of roasted garlic (smashed with the flat side of a knife), 1 cup white wine, anise, rosemary, 1 cup pineapple juice, veggie bouillon, 1 tbsp flour, 1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes, nooch, and coriander.  Then add in ~2 cups torn spinach, and allow to wilt.  Serve sauce over cooked orzo pasta, and top with TVP.
