Meaty Tvp Burgers Recipes

MEATY TVP BURGERS

Steps:

• Rehydrate TVP by soaking them in hot vegetable broth. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat up a small amount of oil in a well-seasoned cast iron pan or non-stick pan over medium high heat. Place in onion and saute until translucent for 3-4 minutes. Next, stir in garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 180 C / 350 F.
• In a food processor, place in all ingredients including rehydrated tvp. Pulse until everything is finely chopped. Portion the mixture into 6 ( about 1/3 cup each ) and form them into patties.
• Transfer patties into a lined baking tray. Let it bake for 20 minutes on each sides, flipping halfway through. They are now ready to be enjoyed !

TVP VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Stir TVP into boiling water in a medium mixing bowl.
• Add ketchup, Worcestershire, soy (appx. 2 tsp), salt, herbs and spices.
• Let stand 10 minutes.
• Heat carrots, celery, onion, garlic and basic in a little oil in a skillet, until JUST softened.
• Mix veggies into TVP mixture, slowly adding flour until the mixture holds its own shape (like a mix between dough and ground beef).
• Shape into 6 patties (1/2 inch think or so).
• Cook in frying pan in a bit of oil until both sides are hardened up and darkened.
• I've tried adding chili powder to the oil in the pan before cooking the patties, and it adds nice flavour.
• Also, when shaping the final mixture, it really helps to wet your hands with a bit of water to prevent it sticking.

"TVP" BURGERS

Steps:

• Rehydrate TVP -- boil 7/8 cups of water (or beef bouillon for a more beefy taste) pour over TVP, let sit about 5 minutes to soak up wetness.
• Spread on a plate (will help it cool faster than if it is in a bowl).
• Season with steak seasoning (don't be stingy! I use Lawry's or the one from Omaha Steaks).
• Set in freezer for 1/2 hour (to help the TVP be cooler to the touch when you're handling it).
• Put in a mixing bowl.
• Add corn meal, then egg beaters, mix (with hands, get on in there!).
• Add flour, mix (it should look weird and yellow-y, that's fine).
• Press into 4 burger patties on a PAM-sprayed piece of food-wrap (to help it not stick after freezing; use a burger press if you have one, if not, use your hands, but try and get it nice and tight).
• Wrap up, and put in the freezer (to help them freeze together and keep shape).
• Heat on medium heat (or lower) in a frypan, or on the Foreman Grill for about 4-5 minutes.
