Ingredients
1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
1 cup Vegetable Broth (or water)
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free)
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil (or another vegetable oil)
1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
1 Tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/2 teaspoon dried Thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried Sage
1/2 teaspoon Fennel Seeds (optional, for a more authentic sausage flavor)
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the TVP with the vegetable broth . Let it sit for about 10 minutes, until the TVP has absorbed all the liquid and is soft.
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried sage, fennel seeds (if using), black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it darkens slightly and becomes fragrant.
Add the rehydrated TVP and soy sauce to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the TVP and stir well to combine. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the nutritional yeast and stir to combine. Cook for another minute or so until the TVP is well-coated and flavorful.
Remove from heat and use immediately as a topping for pizzas, with tofu scramble in pasta dishes, or as a filling for tacos and burritos.
