Use TVP or veggie chicken, where you would normally use chicken. Can be used as wings, nuggets, drumsticks, in casseroles, pies etc. Ingredients:
1 cup textured vegetable protein, granules (plain, or chicken-style) |
1 cup water |
2 teaspoons vegetarian chicken bouillon granules |
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar |
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/8 teaspoon celery seed |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil (or as needed) |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring water, bouillon, sugar and seasonings to a boil. Add TVP and turn heat off. Let stand for 15 - 20 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
2. Saute soaked, drained TVP in a little oil until lightly browned. The TVP Chicken is now ready to be used in any dish in place of cooked chicken. Refrigerate unused portions. Can be frozen.
3. Suggestions: Pot pies, gravies, soups, stews, pita bread sandwiches, a la kings, patties (mix with breadcrumbs), stir-fries, etc.
4. NOTE: Large chunks of TVP do better simmered in the liquid, not just soaked. Simmer over low heat for 15 - 20 minutes. Liquid should be absorbed, and chunks should be tender. If chunks are not yet tender, add more water and bouillon.
5. If you want to shape them, I would not drain, I just a little flour and shape.
