Ingredients:

2	tbsp	Sunflower oil
2	med	Onions, chopped
4 1/2	oz	TVP granules
1	cup	Hot water or vegetable stock
1 1/2	cup	Breadcrumbs
1/2	tbsp	Mixed herbs
1	tbsp	Freshly chopped parsley
2		Cloves crushed garlic
1		Egg equivalent, well mixed
2	tbsp	Soy sauce
		Salt and pepper
		SAUCE
32	oz	Chopped tomatoes
6	oz	Tomato paste
		Salt and pepper to taste

Procedures:

1	Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2	In a large saucepan, heat oil and saute onions until lightly browned.
3	Add the tvp mince, stir and cook for two minutes.
4	Pour the hot water or stock over the saute and simmer for four minutes.
5	In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, herbs and garlic together with one cup cold water.
6	Stir in the egg and leave to one side for ten minutes.
7	Combine the cooked tvp mince with the breadcrumbs mixture, then add the soy sauce.
8	Stir well and season to taste.
9	Using your hands, shape the mixture into an oval mound and place it in the center of a large baking dish, leaving plenty of space all around for the tomato sauce to run.
10	Heat the tomatoes, tomato paste and seasoning in a small saucepan, and pour over the loaf, then bake for one hour.
11	Serves Jtk"s notes: i usually add more herbs & chopped garlic, and saute chopped vegetables like celery, carrots, and/or mushrooms after onions are done but before adding tvp.
12	Hot sauce is a good addition, too, or other flavored sauce like veg.
13	Worcestershire.
14	The egg replacer works fine --- i have no idea what it"s like with a real egg.
15	Also, i make the tomato sauce differently (sometimes i use canned/jar or homemade frozen sauce, usually dont bother heating it up first, and i prefer canned whole tomatoes, pureed, to prechopped ones), but it doesn"t matter much.
16	I make breadcrumbs from whatever bread is available, preferably wholewheat (lightly toasted for dryness) ~-- doesn"t matter much either.
17	Cracker crumbs or matzo meal would probably do as well, if you don"t have bread around or a food processor/blender.
18	I"ve made 1.5x recipe into a single loaf ok, but larger wouldn"t work (would have to make separate loaves, if larger quantities are desired) judy karpen
