I am just starting to cook with TVP granules and really would like to make some burger patties.
TVP - Texturized Vegetable Protein...



Answer
I am a former chef and when I make mine with TVP, I generally puree some of the veg in the food processor add some chickpeas and chickpea flour, even a bit of tahini sesame paste, available at Health food stores or any Indian market, even some whole wheat flour.

Also, at the health food store there is a protien powder made from veggies, it is a good binder for burger, veggie meatballs for spaghetti sauce and a meatloaf made with TVP, I use it at least once a week, and it is great in a veg chili too.

What meals could I make using lentils apart from soups?

Answer
I have found two really good lentil recipes that I like a lot. One is for a vegetarian 'meatloaf' and the other is a broccoli lentil and rice casserole. There are many other recipes for lentil casseroles you can find on the internet. Indian dishes also often use lentils in curries, you can find these recipes by searching for Indian Daal recipes.
Lentils are also good for making veggie burgers or vegetarian sloppy joes.

Here is the link for the lentil loaf recipe:

I usually add more tomato sauce than the recipe says. Sometimes I also sub the egg out with flaxseed (1TBS of ground flaxseed + 3 TBS of lukewarm water + mix until gooey= egg substitute for just about any recipe, including baking).
Also I like to spread ketchup over the top before I put it in the oven.

Here is the link for the casserole:

I am not vegan so I sometimes substitute parmesan or other cheese for the nutritional yeast and just use real butter. I've also made this recipe with asparagus instead of broccoli, or both together and it is very good. There are similar recipes on the internet but this is my favorite so far because it only takes one dish and is so easy to make, you don't have to precook anything, you just mix it all together and stick it in the oven.
