Recipe: Vegetable Protein Mole Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups textured vegetable protein (TVP), rehydrated according to package instructions
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups Daniel Fast compliant mole sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the water, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and tender, about 5 minutes, adding more water if needed to prevent sticking.
  2. Add the rehydrated textured vegetable protein to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
  3. Season the vegetable protein with ground cumin, dried thyme, salt, and pepper, stirring well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
  4. Cook the vegetable protein for 5-7 minutes, or until it begins to brown slightly and becomes more flavorful.
  5. Pour the mole sauce over the vegetable protein mixture, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the stir-fry for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  7. Serve the Vegetable Protein Mole Stir-Fry hot over a bed of brown rice or quinoa.

Helpful Tips & Serving Suggestions:
