Time 60 minutes
Tools
  • sauce pan
  • wooden spoon
  • frying pan
  • food processor or blender
  • large bowl
  • bread pan
  • aluminum foil
Ingredients
  • 1¼ c veggie stock
  • 1½ c ground seitan
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 2½ T olive oil
  • 1½ c tomato sauce
  • 3 oz tomato paste
  • 2 t oregano
  • 2 t thyme
  • ½ pound firm tofu
  • 1 c lecithin granules OR 1 egg
  • 3 c bread crumbs
Directions Preheat oven to 375.

Heat stock to a near boil, add TVP, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 2 T olive oil and sauté onions until transparent and golden, 3-5 minutes. Add seitan and continue cooking about 3 minutes, until brown.

In the food processor, purée tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano, thyme, and tofu.
