TVP Quick Barbeque Sandwiches

Recipe by: Susan Voisin

1 cup TVP
1/2 cup water
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 or 2 cloves garlic, minced
water or other liquid for sautéing
your favorite barbeque sauce

Mix the TVP with the 1/2 cup water and set aside for 5 minutes.

Sauté onion in about 1 Tbs. liquid until almost clear. Then add garlic and cook for another minute. Add the reconstituted TVP. Add the barbeque sauce until the mixture is the right consistency for sandwiches. Heat thoroughly and serve.

It's so easy! And if you want to avoid commercial barbeque sauce and make your own, I'm sure there are a lot of good recipes for homemade bbq sauce out there. (Post 'em!) Something strange (to me at least) that is available here in South Carolina is a mustard-based sauce; I'd never seen it before I moved here, but now that I've discovered it, I'm addicted! It works great in this recipe. If anyone out there has a recipe for mustard-based barbeque sauce, I'd love the recipe

What exactly is TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)? Now that I've got seitan under my belt, I'm encouraged to do other things I didn't think I could.

Well thanks, ff. That was a truly informative (with recipes) site. It does appear that I won't be able to make it --- I know how to extract oils from my chemistry background. But it's not going to happen here!

But if you guys like it, I'll give it a go and see where I land. What is the taste/texture/capability of TVP vs. seitan? Other than easy storage and keepability.
