Equipment

  • Stove
  • Saute Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 Cup Chopped Baby Bella Mushrooms
  • 1/4 Cup Onion
  • 3/4 Cup Texturized Vegetable Protein
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • Salt and Pepper to your preference
  • 3 Tablespoons Oil Optional

Instructions
 

  • Begin by rehydrating the TVP with equal parts water. This step should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Personally I rehydrate it in 5 minutes since it will absorb all the flavors and liquids during the sauteeing process.
  • Place the TVP in a strainer so you can remove it's excess liquid
  • If you are using oil place your pan and oil on your stove and turn on to a medium heat.
  • After 2 minutes place the Baby Bella Mushrooms in the pan and with a spatula or kitchen spoon begin to press them gently to release their liquid so you can saute them easily if you are not using oil. You will find that the mushrooms release a good amount of water don't worry this is perfectly normal. Add the TVP and onion to saute as soon as you see the mushrooms release their liquid.
  • After about 3 to 5 minutes sauteing proceed to add your salt and pepper along with garlic powder.
  • Depending on what you are making you can add your vegan marinara sauce for spaghetti or your enchilada sauce for enchiladas.
