Preparation
Step 1
Preheat a pan with the oil, reduce to medium high heat.
In a microwave safe dish, reconstitute the TVP with the veggie broth or water, tightly covered with plastic wrap on high for about 6 minutes. (Alternatively, reconstitute by pouring boiling liquid over the TVP granules, cover, and let stand 10 minutes.)
While the TVP is reconstituting, add the mushrooms, onions and garlic to the pan. Saute for about 5-6 minutes, until fragrant and beginning to brown.
Into a food processor, add the sauteed mushroom mixture, reconstituted TVP, gluten, nutritional yeast, soy sauce and tomato paste. Process until well combined and "meaty" looking. Remove from the processor and mix in the green onions.
Form into patties.
You can bake or fry these, but my favorite way to serve them is grilled. Use a lower flame, oil the grill, and slow cook them about 10 minutes per side. BE PATIENT! Don't flip them too early or they will stick, and you won't get those much sought after grill marks. These also freeze well, so you can make them ahead of time and bring them to your next summertime get together.
