Ingredients
- •1½ cups Crave Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP), dry
- •1¼ cups vegetable broth, hot
- •1 tbsp olive oil
- •1 small onion, diced

Pro Tip
For the best texture, let the TVP get a little brown and crispy in the skillet before serving — this mimics the texture of browned ground beef. Rehydrating in broth instead of water adds depth of flavor that makes all the difference.
