Ingredients

• 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP) granules
• 1 cup Hot vegetable stock
• 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Grated onion
• 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Cooking oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein (TVP) granules and hot vegetable stock. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the TVP has absorbed the liquid.

Step 2

Add the breadcrumbs, flour, grated onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, tomato paste, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the rehydrated TVP mixture.

Step 3

Using clean hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture is too wet, add a small amount of breadcrumbs until it holds together.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a flat patty or rissole using your palms.

Step 5

Heat the cooking oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Step 6

Fry the rissoles in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Step 7

Remove the rissoles from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the mock beef rissoles warm with a side of mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
