Need recipes & or ideas how to use TVP a soy?

I LOVE THIS STUFF. Its so cheap and versatile!!! TVP can be used any in alot of recipes that you maybe already be familiar with. I often add some to spaghetti sauce, chili, and soups, but really the sky is the limit! Its a great ground beef substitute, but you can find larger chunks that make good chicken substitutes. I like to use the larger chunks in a fake chicken noodle soup soaked in veggie broth with noodles, peas, carrots, and nutritional yeast.

*Tacos*

2 cups TVP

2 cups water

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp olive or vegetable oil

1 package taco seasoning

1 red or yellow bell pepper, cut into strips

1/4 cup salsa

flour tortillas or taco shells

In a large skillet, heat the water over medium heat, and add the TVP, stirring well. Allow the TVP to reconstitute for 2-3 minutes.

Add oil and soy sauce, then peppers and taco seasoning, stirring well. Allow to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Mix in salsa and remove from heat.

Serve wrapped in a flour tortilla or hard taco shells. Add your fav fix'ns.

*Sloppy Joe's*

1 cup TVP

3/4 cup Boiling water

1 Green bell pepper -- diced

1 Onion -- minced

1 Stalk celery -- minced

1 Carrot -- minced

1/3 cup Water

2 8 oz cans tomato sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Molasses

2 tablespoons Chili powder

1 1/2 teaspoons Garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Hamburger buns

Combine TVP and boiling water and set aside.

"Saute" bell pepper, onion, celery and carrot in 1/3 cup of water in a deep skillet or dutch oven until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Add TVP and remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until heated through.

Serve on toasted hamburger buns.

I bet you could go use TVP in Hamburger Helper as well. You would want to either soak it in broth first or add extra water to the recipe.
