Vegan Italian Sausage Crumbles with TVP

water

soy sauce Bragg’s liquid aminos

maple syrup

liquid smoke

molasses

TVP (textured vegetable protein)

yeast

Italian seasoning

garlic powder

onion powder

sage

fennel

black pepper

red pepper flakes (optional)

salt to taste if needed

Start by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

In a small saucepan add all of the wet ingredients and bring to a boil.

While waiting for the water to boil, add the TVP with all of the other dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix together until well combined.

Pour the boiling water into the dry TVP mixture, and stir until everything is completely mixed. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes so all of the water can be absorbed. There may be a little moisture in the bottom of the pan but it will cook off once you add the mixture to the frying pan.

Pour the TVP crumbles into the frying pan, stirring occasionally, and cook until most of the moisture is gone. Usually about 2-3 minutes. The mixture will be more &#8220;chewy&#8221; like sausage and not crisp.

Taste and adjust any seasonings as needed.

Serve right away or store in an airtight container for later use.

After having made your vegan bacon bits I knew I had to give this a try.  I made it tonight and you've done it again.  So easy and delicious!  It made a huge difference to our wfpb spaghetti with marinara sauce tonight.  Thanks for sharing your great recipes with everyone!

I haven’t made this yet but I will.  I made your spicy breakfast sausage and it is amazing so I’m sure this will be too.   Love your recipe’s.  Thank you for sharing.

Very tasty. Served it with wfpb marinara and pasta for dinner. Hubby said "make this again!"
First time ever using TVP, which I previously found intimidating (don't know why -- LOL). Even though I left out the salt, it was a bit salty for my taste, so I will use less tamari next time. And there WILL be a next time. Now, I need to try the breakfast sausage crumbles.

Delicious, fast, easy, cheap, and vegan! Everything about these easy TVP tacos speaks to my soul. Just 15 minutes to whip up this amazingly delicious and meaty taco filling. Top with your favorite taco toppings for a super easy dinner or lunch. YUM! Adapted from my Tofu Taco Crumbles recipe.

It has a rich onion taste and is fit for food dishes like French onion soup. Yellow onions are typically available throughout the year. This onion is higher in sulphur than the white onion, which gives it a stronger, more complex flavour. A dozen varieties of yellow onion are grown, following the time of year....

Heat the oil in a large skillet or non-stick frying pan. When hot add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion turns translucent and just begins to brown, about 5 minutes.

Mix in the vegetable broth, TVP, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetable broth has absorbed and the TVP is tender and chewy. If it gets a bit dry just add a splash more vegetable broth. Or if it is too wet continue to simmer a little longer until the vegetable broth is absorbed.

Spoon into tortilla shells, and decorate with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Vegan Italian Sausage Crumbles

soy sauce (or tamari)

textured vegetable protein ((TVP))

fennel seeds

thyme

Preheat your oven to 450°F/230°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a medium pot, stir together wet ingredients: water, liquid smoke, soy sauce and maple syrup. Heat on medium until the mixture comes to a light boil.

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl mix dry ingredients: TVP, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, fennel, thyme and black pepper. Stir into pot and lower the heat.

Cover the pot and heat on low for 5 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Then, transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until crispy.&nbsp;

These vegan bacon bits are made using TVP (soy granule). You can enjoy them in tacos, burritos, salads, sprinkled over pasta, or sauerkraut, pretty much anything that needs extra flavor and crunch!

Vegan Bacon Bits

soy granule

soy sauce

paprika powder (mild)

salt

oil oil

Add all the ingredients (except the oil) into a large pan, and stir to combine. Bring it to high heat.

Once the soy granule has soaked up the water, add one tablespoon of oil. Let it cook further, and stir every once in a while to prevent it from getting too dark.

It will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the soy granule to get brown and crispy. You might have to add a bit more oil to achieve that. Then you can use the vegan bacon bits as taco &#x27;meat&#x27;, in salads, on pasta, or whatever you&#x27;re craving!
