Ingredients




2 cups TVP (soaked in 2 ½ cups water)
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon sumac
1 tablespoon Middle Eastern Seven Spices
1/2 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
5 cloves (large) garlic
1/2 Juice of lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
1 can baba ganoush dip
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Preparation

1 In a hot pan, add the TVP. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the mixed spices over top. Make sure you incorporate the spices very well into the TVP. Let cook for 5 minutes until the liquid has evaporated. 2 Add the lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil (made into a smoothie texture in the Magic Bullet or food processor). Stir in and mix very well. 3 Add the baba ganoush and mix it in very well. 4 Serve with rice and green salad. Sprinkle toasted almonds over top of the TVP dish and rice.
