INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups of soy protein (TVP, TSP)
a drizzle of oil
half onion, minced
1 carrot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced or 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 bay leaf
juice of one small lemon or lime
1 cup of tomato juice or blended fresh tomatoes
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of vegetable bouillon
a pinch of black pepper
water if needed

METHOD:
add the tomato juice, the vegetable bouillon, and the soy sauce to a jar and stir until combined
add the oil to a skillet
add the onions, carrots, the Brazilian spice blend and bay leaf (and the minced garlic if you're using fresh garlic)
saute for 2 minutes on medium heat
add the soy protein
stir for 1 minute then add the tomato juice mixture, stir until almost dry
add the garlic powder, the black pepper, stir until combined
add the remainder of the tomato juice mix and stir until the soy protein is soft.
Serve it over a bowl of rice or use it to substitute meats in meat dishes such as lasagnas, bolognese, meatballs, etc.

BRAZILIAN SEASONING SPICE BLEND
INGREDIENTS:

A bunch of parsley
A bunch of spring onions
1 bay leaf
1 sprig of rosemary or 1 tablespoon if dry
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 large yellow onion
10-12 cloves of garlic, peeled
A piece of red bell pepper
1 tablespoon of cumin
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 tablespoon of oregano
1 teaspoon dried sage or sage leaves
1 tablespoon of dried or fresh thyme
1 tablespoon of salt
1/3 cup (approx.)of olive oil
1 chili pepper, deseeded - optional

METHOD:

Roughly cut the onions and the red bell pepper into chunks,

add the onions, garlic, red bell pepper, bay leaf, and rosemary to the food processor and pulse it for 4, 5 times, scraping the sides if necessary

Add the remainder of the ingredients and pulse it 5 or 6 times more, until all combined. This blend is not supposed to become a smooth paste but a chunky one, if the blend is too smooth, it will kill the aromas and flavors

Complete the jar with olive oil (OPTIONAL BUT PRESERVES THE SPICES BETTER)

Add the blended ingredients to a clean, sterilized and dry glass jar and put in your fridge, it will be good for up to 3 months

If you want to freeze it, do not add salt

[Xeidasx]

PLEASE LET ME THANK YOU
I MADE THIS TONIGHT FIRST TIME TRYIN TEXTURED SOY PROTEIN AND I WASN'T EXPECTING MUCH BUT HOLY HELL ITS BETTER THAN MEAT AND I DONT THINK ILL GO BACK. Since quarantine I've had to eat beans instead because grocery stores were hard to get in to with kids in Mexico and I can't Afford a babysitter so for almost two years we eat beans Nd veggies. Recently I found textured soy protein Nd searched up ways to make it. Your video came and looked easy (it was) so I did it and it's phenomenal!!! I'm blown away at how delicious it tastes my family and I may never g back to meat. They had no idea Nx thought they were eating chicken!!! A bag of soy comes for $15 mxn peso so extremely affordable. Please post more recipes like this cos this was a huge success for me and my family

I have to tell you that I tried this recipe last night. I changed it up for some burritos and it was fantastic! My meat eater husband did not know it was TVP. I am thrilled. He wants the leftovers for breakfast! Wow! Thanks for this. I am trying to eat less animal products and this really help.

[ChefJana]

This dish is super versatile; you can make from lasagna to a bolognese sauce, meatballs, stir fry, use it to fill empanadas, meatloaf, croquettes, dumplings, dim sum, tacos or just to accompany a nice warm bowl of rice. ;)

Shaking off the powder is a game changer. Thanks a lot for this!

[giginavam]

Cooking my soy mince like this has been a life changer!!!! Have already made this twice within one week! Thank you!

[catlo]

I tried using TVP after shaking the powder texture out and sauteed it with some onion. I didn't have some of the ingredients so I just used some salsa and let it stand. it made all the difference. It's Awesome. thank you for this tip.

[alejandrapalaciosromero]

Wow, I’ve been vegan for almost 3 years and didn’t know I was cooking TVP wrong the whole time, I always got this very soft consistency, but your recipe makes sense in the way that if you seal it first it will absorb the veggies and spices flavors. Thanks for the video!

[tl_MW]

Vegan newbie and TVP has been a game changer for my meat loving boys (son & husband). Just did this tonight with spaghetti and family ate it up like the real deal. Teenage daughter who is picky and weight conscious, ate it all up knowing its all vegan. You are my go to chef! Thank you for these videos!

[emb]

Thank you! I found this video because I couldn't get that "soy taste" out of the soy crumbles and this worked like magic! This video makes perfect sense, thank you for posting it.

[AranMapleStory]

OMG!!!! This is the first time I cook with TVP and I'm amazed on how delicious this recipe taste. It even taste better than ground beef. Thanks, thanks soooo much.

[indrin]

Thank you for sharing. I have always hydrated the soy first and I must say your method has greatly improved the taste...excellent!

[ttizm]

Wow, the fact of lemon use with soy protein deserves explanation! Thanks, as always, love your channel :-)

[nolawalker]

This is the BEST recipe for vegan crumbles ever!! It’s transformed my experience in cooking and enjoying vegan dishes. The texture and taste is perfect and very easy to make, if you love cooking. I do! Bless you for sharing your technique and your culture.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[nolawalker]

Chef Jana's approach has shifted my world! My first and second attempts were fabulous! I can't wait to recreate many of dishes I've missed.

[dannybarros]

I just made this to take to work and I CANT STOP EATING IT. It is way better than the way they say on the package that you are supposed to cook it. It says to mix the soy protein with hot water or broth. I’m pretty sure this is where your protein turns out to look like a sponge and taste like nothing. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It is a game changer. I noticed you are Brazilian, because you talk so passionate about it. I’m Brazilian too and I just want to say that you are doing a pretty good job. I can feel your amazing and great energy from here. I found you searching for this recipe and I’m so glad I did. I just subscribed on your channel and I hope I can nele many of your recipes. You rock!!

[Faithandplanning]

This has hands down changed my life!!!! Thank you!!!!

[mjfromquebec]

I think I'm in love! LoL...clicked on your video for my first time try at TVP (baby vegan here) and what a friggin treat! You're so beautiful and you loving animals proves you are a good person! Thank you for sharing your gift and helping us be inspired💚

[LalosSaw]

I just cooked this recipe and it's absolutely amazing!! I needed to add a bit a water, smoked paprika and a bit of nutritional yeast. I'll definitely make it again, thank you so much
