Ingredients

• 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
• 1 cup Vegetable broth or water
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the TVP and vegetable broth (or water). Stir to ensure all the TVP is moistened and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the TVP has absorbed all the liquid and softened.

Step 2

While the TVP is rehydrating, in a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce (or tamari), smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

Pour the spice mixture over the TVP in the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the crumbles with seasoning.

Step 6

Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to blend and the crumbles to develop a slight crispness.

Step 7

Remove from heat and use immediately as a meat alternative in your favorite recipes, or allow them to cool and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
