Ingredients
- 200 g textured soy protein - granules
- 300 g extra-firm tofu
- 1 Tbsp psyllium husks
- 6-8 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 Tbsp carob powder
- 1 tsps dry thyme
- 1 tsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp ground coriander seeds
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 3 Tbsps oil + 1 Tbsp extra oil for brushing before grilling
- salt and ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil 500ml water in a small pot.
- Put 100g of the textured soy protein granules into a large bowl. Pour the boiling hot water over and mix well. Let it sit for 10 minutes until it absorbs the liquid.
- In a separate bowl, start masking the tofu with a fork. It doesn't have to be perfectly mashed, that's why we don't use a blender. It has to resemble the tiny fatty bits in real meat rolls. See the photos - the white parts are tofu.
- Add the mashed tofu into the bowl as well as the other half of the textured soy protein granules. Mix well.
- Add all the other ingredients and mix. Let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Heat the grill or a grill pan.
- Grease your hands with some oil and start making the vegan minced meat rolls. Place them on a plate. Brush them with a little bit of oil before placing them on the grill.
- Grill on all sides until crispy.
- Serve with mustard, fries and a large salad. Enjoy this traditional Romanian recipe made vegan!
