TVP "MEAT" SAUCE
I just started to be vegan and I was having a hard time making recipes that actually taste good. I came up with this concoction based on recipes I used to make with ground meat. This is great over brown rice or any other grain! Make the grains while or before cooking this sauce. This recipe only makes for about one or two people, so you can double or triple it. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

TVP SPAGHETTI SAUCE
This is based on my family's traditional spaghetti meat sauce, but uses TVP (textured vegetable protein) instead of meat. The amount of TVP, though, is approximate. I usually just put a couple of handfuls, using the guideline that when it re-hydrates it swells to approximately twice its volume, so how much you put depends on how thick you want your sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right TVP: Not all TVP is created equal. Look for a brand that is made from high-quality soybeans and has a good texture.
- Rehydrate the TVP properly: TVP needs to be rehydrated before it can be used. The best way to do this is to soak it in hot water for 10-15 minutes.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your meat sauce. Some good options include onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and mushrooms.
- Season the sauce to taste: Meat sauce is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Some common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Simmer the sauce for a while: Simmering the sauce for a while will help the flavors to develop and meld together. Aim to simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
Conclusion:
TVP meat sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be used in a variety of ways. It's a great way to add protein and fiber to your diet, and it's also a budget-friendly option. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give TVP meat sauce a try. You won't be disappointed.
