Instructions
- If you use dry beans, soak garbanzo beans overnight. The water level should be a few inches over the beans to allow for expansion. Change water before cooking. Cook according to package directions. 1/2 to 2/3 cup dry beans should yield 1-1/2 cooked. If you use canned beans, look for beans with no salt added. If you use salted beans, you need to reduce the amount of soy sauce or salt in the recipe.
- Reconstitute dry TVP or TSP with boiling water as product directions indicate. Larger flakes/chunks might need to be simmered.
- Combine all ingredients and mix well.
- Add up to 1/4 cup pureed or steamed and chopped veggies if desired.
Notes
Legumes can be cooked with a potato or piece of kombu to increase digestibility. Drain and crush warm beans with a potato masher, fork, or food processor.
