How do you make gluten-free and vegan sausage crumbles?

Make the “broth” – Put boiling water, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, (or soy sauce), some spices, and oil in a heat-safe mixing bowl and give it a stir. Re-hydrate the TVP – Add the textured vegetable protein – Add the(TVP) to the broth and stir it around. Let it sit for about 3-4 minutes to soak up the broth.

For Pizza : Sprinkle on pizza before cooking. No need to precook it. It will cook along with the pizza.

To add to sauces or soups : Cook in a skillet – Add 1 tbsp oil to the bottom of a skillet and fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes until a little crispy and slightly browned.
