ah, cheers for clarifying! is it nice? im a bit scared of soya for some reason. Im not veggie, but i dont eat meat very often (usually when my bf bugs me we havnt had any for days) id like to try veggie options, but so far all ive tried have been boring and bland. Seems easier to just eat a bowl of veg to me- although that way missing out on proteins
this is because it is being cooked wrong IMO
for better tasting results try this recipe: [apologies for lack of quantities – i just use it – never written it down before – taught to me by a vegan chef :wink:]
unflavoured TVP [ignore all meat flavoured tastes :yakk::yakk:]
onions
vegetable stock [kallo are the best for this but use your favourite]
any other veg you want to add
pepper and salt
get a large frying pan [just exactly like the meat mince ones]
into it put chopped onions and garlic and vegeatble oil of choice [olive?]
fry till onions almost golden
add TVP [vege mince] about 1 cup
fry for a couple more minutes [may need to add a little extra oil]
add 500 mls of vegetable stock [made at 1.5 to 2 x normal concentration for the stock] and simmer til it has all been absorbed
now you can treat this stuff as normal mince and use in bolognaise, lasagna
has fooled commited carnivores BTW :weee:
