Ingredients
-
1 cup boiling water
-
1 1/3 cups textured vegetable protein (dehydrated soy)
-
2 tablespoons ketchup
-
Worcestershire sauce
-
soy sauce
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
-
1 teaspoon oregano
-
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
-
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
-
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
-
3 finely chopped garlic cloves
-
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
-
1/3 cup flour
-
1/4 cup grated carrot
Instructions
- 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.
