Ingredients

  • 750 ml (~ 3 cups) hot vegetable stock
  • 200 g (~ 3 cups) dried TVP chunks
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 1 tsp dried Italian mixed herbs
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 45 g (~ 1/3 cup) plain flour
  • 2 tbsp oil, for frying
  • To serve: 6 burger buns, salad, sauces

Instructions

  • Pour the hot vegetable stock into a large bowl, and add the dried TVP chunks. You can add a little more water if needed, to ensure they're fully covered in liquid. Soak for at least 15 minutes, until soft - you may need to give them a stir every few minutes to ensure all the chunks are soaking properly, as they tend to float to the surface of the liquid.
  • Drain the liquid from the TVP chunks, collecting a small amount of it in a bowl.
  • Place the soaked TVP chunks in a food processor, and pulse a few times to chop the TVP into a mince-like texture.
  • Transfer the TVP to another mixing bowl, and add the remaining ingredients (not including the oil). Add about a tablespoon of the soaking liquid, and mix thoroughly.
  • Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan. Take a handful of the TVP mixture, and form it into a burger shape. I found I needed to squeeze it together quite firmly. Place in the pan, and repeat with some more of the mixture - I cooked 3 burgers at a time, making 6 in total. Cook the burgers for a few minutes each side, over a medium heat, until crispy and golden brown.
  • Serve in buns with salad and sauce.
