Textured Vegetable Protein Breakfast Sausage Crumbles

Contributed by: DeliciousImperative

Slightly sweet, slightly spicy, this substitute for breakfast sausage faithfully recreates those tantalizing flavors that make a potato and veggie skillet into a hearty start to the day. This recipe was not tested by Bob’s Red Mill.

Ingredients

• 2 cups TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)
• 2 tsp Vegetable Bouillon powder or paste
• 1/2 tsp dried Sage
• 1/2 tsp dried Rosemary
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground Black Pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground Nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp Liquid Smoke
• 1/4 tsp powdered Cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp dried Red Pepper Flakes
• 2 Tbsp pure Maple Syrup
• 2 cups Water

Directions

Combine all ingredients except TVP in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Boil for 5 minutes to help rehydrate the spices and blend flavors.
In a heatproof bowl, pour the boiling broth mixture over the TVP and stir to combine.
Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.

Notes

This mixture makes great breakfast tacos when mixed with a little salsa, or you can enjoy it as we do in a skillet with home-style potatoes, diced onions and green peppers, and salsa.
