Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Boiling Water
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Button Mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Cooked Brown Rice
- 0.5 cup Vegetable Broth
- 0.5 cup Frozen Peas
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein with boiling water and soy sauce. Stir well, cover, and let it rehydrate for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet, stirring to combine. Season with paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
Step 5
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir, allowing the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld and the broth is mostly absorbed.
Step 6
Stir in the cooked brown rice and frozen peas, cooking until peas are heated through, approximately 3 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve the savory ground beef and rice warm, and enjoy!
