3 cups of dry T.S.P. (organic textured soy protein)

"meatloaf seasoning" (parsley, basil, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt)

3 cups boiling water

2 T soy sauce

2 T ketchup 

2 T Dijon mustard

2 slices of whole grain bread processed into crumbs

6 T flax meal (or the equivalent in egg replacement)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dissolve bouillon in water set aside to cool. Dehydrate TVP in bouillon broth.  Chop veggies and sauté in veg. oil. Allow to cool. Combine all other ingredients until well incorporated. Line a loaf pan with parchment or foil. Brush lightly with olive or veg. oil. Press loaf into pan. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.

*Make meatballs, bolognaise, chili, or burgers with any leftover ingredients. I always do!

Enjoy!
