Hey all,
I recently bought a bag of Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) as a recipe in a cookbook I have called for it for tacos. Funnily enough, the bag I got also had a recipe for tacos on it, and after following it I have to say, it was phenomenal. Pretty certain I got bang for my buck considering it only used 100 g or such of a 340 g bag that I got for $5.79, that’s only about 21 ¢ a taco putting aside other ingredients.
I checked the company site for other recipes using TVP, but there wasn’t a whole lot. Curious if anybody here has any go-to recipes they’d like to recommend or share, as I’d love to use this stuff more often.
Sloppy joes works well.
It’s fine in any recipe where a heavy amount of seasoning provides most of the flavor, since it’s a little bland compared to normal ground beef. So you could throw some in a meat sauce for spaghetti, chili, could stuff it into peppers, things like that.
