More info on TVP and Recipes
Product made primarily from soy flour. It is purchased dry, either in granules (which is most common) or chunks, and generally rehydrated during cooking. The flavor is neutral, so it absorbs the flavors of the other foods it is cooked with. It is often used as a meat substitute, as it is high in protein. It also contains a fair amount of fiber, and is low in fat and carbohydrates. In low-carb cooking, it can be used to substitute for rice or other high-carb food in casseroles and other recipes. TVP can be found mainly in health food stores. NOTE: Those sensitive to soy should not eat TVP.
Also Known As: TSP (textured or texturized soy protein) Examples: Try substituting TVP granules for rice in a chicken rice casserole. Or try this TVP Oatmeal - with a texture similar to the real thing!
"Any way you can cook crumbled hamburger or sausage, you can substitute TVP. You can go half and half like suggested, then change the proportion to 1/4 meat and 3/4 TVP. After a while, you can go all TVP. Rehydrate the TVP in water or broth. Then fry it with seasonings in a skillet. I like taco seasoning, tomato sauce and Italian seasoning, chili powder, curry powder, brown gravy mix, etc. I even make "sausage" for breakfast burritos with TVP. Soak the TVP in chicken broth, then fry it with a little oil, some beef bouillon, sage, salt and pepper. Even my die-hard meat eater hubby likes it."
"Here's a recipe for vegetarian chili which is wonderful. I've served it at church and school functions, and it is always gone quickly. I am amazed at the number of meat eaters that really like this chili recipe!
2-1/2 c raw kidney beans
1 c textured vegetable protein
1 c tomato juice
4 cloves of garlic, crushed or minced
1-1/2 c chopped onion
1 c chopped carrots
2 c fresh tomatoes

"The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!"
Do you know WHERE in Mars? I skimmed the store briefly the other day but just didn't know where to look.
I really truly dislike going to the Giant even though I know I need to get some more Greek Yogurt. I hit the Safeway in Perry Hall on Saturday but the Greek Yogurt was $2.49 each so I only got one.
I think I saw it at Mars too, but again it was expensive.
Can you tell me when it's on sale at Giant and I'll see if I can force myself over there?
~hugs~

Thanks for posting this! I have a bag and have been debating on what to make with it. I think I'm going to try a recipe for fried "rice" that was posted on one of the other boards.

Okay, so I couldn't find the recipe on OH but I found one on a low carb websites:
Fried "Rice"
Ingredients
1 c. Bob's Red Mill TVP
7/8 c. hot chicken stock
1T peanut oil
1 lightly beaten egg
3/4 c. Birdseye classic mixed veggies
1/4 c. diced sweet onion
3/4 c. cooked and diced pork (or chicken or shrimp)
1/2 tsp. grated ginger
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1T light soy sauce
Add TVP to the hot hicken stock and set it aside. Add peanut oil to a heated wok, and when the oil was hot, add egg and stir until it is scrambled and just done; then add the rehydrated TVP, thawed Birdseye Classic Mixed Veggies (minus the green beans), diced sweet onion, and pork. After stir frying for about 2 minutes, make a hole in the bottom of the wok by moving everything to the sides and add grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce. After 30 seconds, stir everything together and stir for about a minute or two, then remove from heat and serve
I'd probably use sesame oil instead of peanut oil and maybe some Chinese 5-spice. Oh gosh...now I'm hungry!!
