Vegan Nooch-Tvp Old Bay Veggie Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup textured vegetable protein
1/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant)
2 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
3/4 cup water (almost boiling)
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari or Bragg's)
1 tablespoon tahini (or any other nut or seed butter)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (flake kind, NOT powdered)
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

Preparation

Combine the oats, TVP, Old Bay, pepper and mustard together in a medium mixing bowl. Sift together with a large fork.
I microwave the water for about 1 minute to get it a good temperature. Either way, pour the water in the bowl then add the ketchup and soy sauce, mixing well.
Let stand for 5 minutes.
Add the tahini and incorporate well.
Blend the nutritional yeast and whole-wheat pastry flour well too.
You can make your patties right away but I like it better after it's been sitting in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
Form 4-6 patties with your hands, making them nice and flat, the mixture should hold together pretty well. If it doesn't, add a bit more flour. If the opposite occurs and it's very dry and won't stick together, add just a little water with more tahini.
Coat a skillet with 2-3 tablespoons of oil (your choice, I used canola) and cook the patties for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve hot with your favorite fixings and buns, I liked these with muenster cheese (yes, I know, not vegan, but delish) and mesculin greens on whole-wheat English muffins as buns. With my homemade french fries on the side. :).
