Notes Freezes well.Recipe makes a big amount but you can freeze it into smaller serving size portions. *TVP is texturized vegetable protein, it is made from defatted-soy flour. TVP comes in small dry chips. It’s flavorless, but when you rehydrate it and season it it makes an excellent replace for ground meat. It is not the healthiest of food ingredients, because it is highly processed, but it is excellent when you are transitioning away from meat or introducing meat-eaters to a vegan cuisine.
