Bolognese Sauce (with TVP)

I love spaghetti with Bolognese sauce. But, as now I'm trying to quit eating meat, I had to find an alternative recipe. So I started using TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)

This is my first instructable, and English isn't my native language, so please be patient.

Editing:I have made a Spanish version of this Instructible

Ingredients

TVP

First, hydrate the TVP. Ten minutes should be enough if you use hot water (1 part of TVP, 2 parts of water) Then extract as much water as you can.

Chopping

In the meantime, chop the pepper and chive, and grate the carrots. If you have olives you can add them too, or garlic, or even zucchini.

Cooking

Fry (with low fire) the TVP with the vegetables, oregano and laurel. Be careful not to burn it; I add soy sauce to keep the mixture hydrated, and keep stirring. After a couple of minutes add the tomato puree. Then wait another five minutes, stirring now and then.

Eat It

And that's it!

Now you can eat your sauce with spaghetti, or rice.
