The story behind the meal:
In search of some leaner forms of protein, I discovered for myself a ‘new to me’ product; TVP, or Textured Vegetable Protein.
I figured, hey this stuff would be great in Taco’s, and I tried it. Wow, it didn’t have the same greasy feeling that beef did, but tasted much the same, if not better. I had to try it in chili!
The following recipe came out of my quest for more organic, yeast free, sugar free ideas for meals.
You will need:
1 can – PC Organics Primavera Sauce
1 can – PC Organics Bean Medley
1 can – PC Organics Kidney Beans
1 cup – TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)
1/2 cup – Filtered Water
2 tbs – Organic Chili Poweder
1 tbs – Curry Powder
2 garlic pieces chopped
1/2 – Cooking Onion
Method:
Combine all ingredients into crockpot. Stir together. Place on low heat all day (8 hours), or on high for at least 2 hours.
Stir occasionally. Spice to taste
Tips:
Serve with cut up sugar free, yeast free, rye bread for dipping.

Funny that, discovering TVP for he first time. Dave and I did the same thing last weekend! He had bought this ‘vegetarian chili sauce’ at the Bulk Barn and it turned out to be TVP. He made his veggie chili and it turned out great with the TVP. Fun Stuff!
