Time 47m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup textured vegetable protein (such as Bob's Red Mill® TVP)
¾ cup boiling water
2 tablespoons boiling water
1 (16 ounce) package frozen breaded eggplant cutlets (such as Trader Joe's®)
1 loaf Italian bread
¼ cup olive oil, or as needed
½ pound diced firm tomatoes
3 tablespoons capers
¼ teaspoon dehydrated minced garlic, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place textured vegetable protein in a bowl; add 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons boiling water and stir. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place eggplant cutlets on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip cutlets. Bake until golden brown, 16 to 17 minutes more.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Slice bread into 16 slices approximately 1/2-inch thick. Paint bread with olive oil.
  • Cook on the preheated grill until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Place tomatoes in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in a microwave until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Drain and discard excess liquid.
  • Stir tomatoes, capers, and dehydrated garlic into the rehydrated textured vegetable protein.
  • Arrange toasted bread slices on a serving dish. Stack 1 eggplant on each slice of bread; top with a dollop of tomato mixture.
