* If preparing for someone who eats kosher, check they are happy to eat Henderson's relish, which contains spirit vinegar. This ingredient is optional.

Ingredients

  • 240ml vegetable stock
  • 100g TVP granules
  • 2 tbsp dark soya sauce or tamari
  • 145g wheat gluten flour
  • 1 tsp fresh or dried thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh or dried oregano
  • 1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
  • Few dashes of Henderson’s Relish (optional)
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 80ml olive oil

        Method

        1. Using hands, combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing thoroughly.
        2. Once mixed well, leave to stand for 20 minutes to allow gluten to develop.
        3. Divide into six equal portions, forming into steak shapes. The mixture will be slightly sticky and may crumble but don’t worry about this.
        4. In a non-stick pan, fry the steaks for up to 5 minutes each side. Alternatively bake in a medium oven (190°C/gas mark 5) for 20 minutes.
        5. Serve with chips or mash, rich onion gravy, and seasonal vegetables. 

          Tip: The uncooked mixture can be frozen for up to 3 months, or stored in a fridge for 3 days, if sealed.
