Ingredients

• 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP) granules
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Vegan Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vegan liquid smoke
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Annatto powder (optional, for color)
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Place the textured vegetable protein (TVP) granules in a large bowl.

Step 2

Pour the boiling water over the TVP and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it has absorbed all the water.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, and vegan liquid smoke.

Step 4

Pour the mixture over the rehydrated TVP and stir to combine.

Step 5

Add the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and annatto powder if using. Mix well to ensure all the flavors are incorporated.

Step 6

Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs to the mixture and stir until a dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Divide the mixture into 8-10 portions (depending on desired longganisa size) and shape each portion into a log.

Step 8

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 9

Add the longganisa logs to the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 10

Serve hot as part of a traditional Filipino breakfast with garlic rice and sliced tomatoes, or enjoy in your favorite vegan dishes.
