We’re using TVP for the plant-based protein in this bowl. What is TVP you ask? TVP is textured vegetable protein which is made from soy flour, providing a good dose of plant protein. TVP is relatively flavorless making it ideal for absorbing the flavors in recipes. Once rehydrated in hot water or broth, you can use it in tacos, spaghetti sauce, as a plant protein swap for chicken or eggs in salads. You’ll find TVP in the bulk section of many stores like Whole Foods and here on the Main Line, Mom’s Organic Market. TVP is inexpensive, easy to use and has an appearance and texture similar to ground turkey. Here it’s made into a taco filling for a salad bowl but you could use this as in taco shells, on top of tortilla chips, as the filling for a burrito wrap or as a topping for baked potatoes.
