How do I pick the best soy mince?
My favorite brand, if you are visiting from the US, is Now Foods Textured Soy Protein Granules. Just make sure the chunks are “small” do not buy big texturized soy for this recipe, it will not feel the same. I prefer organic brands as well, but it is up to you to decide 🙂
Making vegan picadillo
OK, so let’s get this started!, get your ingredients
- 7 oz Textured soy
- 2 medium-sized Potatoes
- 4 tbsp Tomato puree
- 7 oz Mix of carrot, peas
- 1 medium-sized Garlic clove
- 1 medium-sized Onion We like purple ones!
- 1/2 teaspoon Crushed oregano Optional
- 2 tbsp Olive oil Optional
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 teaspoon Veggie stock Called bouillon as well
Put the pan at medium fire and add the oil in case that you are using it, add 6 tbsp of water if you are not.
Chop the onion and add it to the pan. Let it caramelize for about 3-5 minutes
Meanwhile, mince the garlic and add it to the pan
Dice the potatoes and add them to the pan
Add the peas and carrot mix
In a separate bowl, mix the boiling water with the veggie stock
Once it is integrated, add the tomato paste and also mix it
