TVP
by: Rich @ NJR

In answer to the query by a "new veggie"...

No need to be "sorry"! I wouldn't have known what it is either, a few years ago.

TVP is Textured Vegetable Protein. It looks like and is basically used as a replacement for ground beef. You can buy it in most grocery stores. Just look for their vegetarian/vegan or meatless section, usually in frozen foods. It is made by many companies but the most familiar are Morningstar Farms and Boca.

So now - go buy some TVP...make something you like and tell us about it! Good luck!

Great recipe Sam!
by: Rich from NJR

Samantha, a reasonably "new" veg-head has submitted her recipe for these delicious "meat"balls.

We had the opportunity to try them this past weekend. They are very tasty! Although we ate them plain I think they would be great heated through in a little marinara and tossed on a nice hoagie bun!

There are certainly many alternatives. And as Sammie says - experiment. Make 'em with one type of bean or a different herbal seasoning a couple different times and see what you come up with!

Thanks Sam!
