Ingredients:

• 1/4 tsp thyme
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp raw sugar
• 1/4 soy parmesan (or substitute recipe I sent out)
• 1/2 lb fresh (not frozen) firm waterpack tofu, mashed
• breadcrumbs

Directions:

Heat water to boiling. Turn off heat. Mix in bouillon, spices, and sugar. Mix in TVP, and let stand 30 minutes. Put soaked TVP in processor, and process to a thick paste. Put TVP paste into a bowl. By hand, mix in mashed Tofu. Mix in cheese, if used. By hand, mix in breadcrumbs, using just enough to obtain a mixture that can be formed into patties or sausages that will stay together(neither too wet nor too dry). Form mixture into desired shapes (patties, sausages, balls, etc). Cook immediately, or refrigerate or freeze for later use. To cook: Heat gently in a little oil or pan spray, until browned. Or, spray with pan spray and bake on medium heat until browned.
