TVP is textured vegetable protein, also sometimes called textured soy protein or TSP. This delicious Cajun TVP recipe is quick and easy to make. It’s full of flavour and I love that it’s so versatile – it can be used as a salad topper, enjoyed alongside your favourite whole grain and veggies, eaten as a snack, or served in a wrap or taco. It’s delicious as is, but also pairs well with hummus, salsa, hot sauce, bbq sauce, or my Cajun Tahini Lime Dressing.

Fantastic! Though, just a question with the TVP: Is there a difference if you use boiling water to rehydrate it? I’ve used it before, but I only soaked it in regular purified water.

I’ve only used boiling water to rehydrate TVP and soy curls, so I’m not sure whether or not it makes a difference. I’ll use regular water next time as an experiment. Thanks for the tip!
