VEGAN ITALIAN SAUSAGE CRUMBLES WITH TVP

Steps:

• Start by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• In a small saucepan add all of the wet ingredients and bring to a boil.
• While waiting for the water to boil, add the TVP with all of the other dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix together until well combined.
• Pour the boiling water into the dry TVP mixture, and stir until everything is completely mixed. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes so all of the water can be absorbed. There may be a little moisture in the bottom of the pan but it will cook off once you add the mixture to the frying pan.
• Pour the TVP crumbles into the frying pan, stirring occasionally, and cook until most of the moisture is gone. Usually about 2-3 minutes. The mixture will be more "chewy" like sausage and not crisp.
• Taste and adjust any seasonings as needed.
• Serve right away or store in an airtight container for later use.
