  • 5 1/2 cups onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup TVP
  • 3/4 cup of each green peas, grated zuchini (optional)
  • 1 cup green pepper
  • 1 cup sliced mushroom (optional)
  • 2 t ground allspice
  • 1 TBSP ground coriander
  • 3 TBSP naturally-brewed soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups walnuts, ground coarsely in blender
  • 4 TBSP fresh parsley, chopped
 Description  The spices gives this dish the ground beef taste.
 Instructions  1. Soak bulgur in 3 cups vegetable broth over 1 hour then drain.

2. Mash crust ingredients together well. Season to taste with salt.

3. Soak TVP in 1 cup of vegetable broth.

4. For filling, slow cook onions until golden, add TVP and broth, vegetables, spices. Cook until vegetable tender and add crushed nuts. Mix together well and salt to taste. Set aside and allow to cool.

5. Grease pyrex well with tahini. Divide potato mixture in half, spread a thin layer in an oiled pyrex, patting evenly with wet hands to prevent from sticking. Spread the entire meat filling, spread remaining half of crust. It may be easier to make small patties with palms of wet hand laying them over the filling and later patching them up and smoothing them with wet hands. Brush top layer with oil. Cut into diamonds.

6. Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes or until top is golden.

 Note  This recipe freezes well for a couple months before baking that is why the recipe is enough for two oven casserole dish. This way you can prepare it once and enjoy it twice!

Hi Paula,

It\'s available in some food stores and most health food stores. If you can\'t find it, that\'s no problem just use salt instead and salt to taste.

The advantage of using soy sauce over salt is that it offers a complexity of taste that salt does not and you can get more taste using while using less sodium.

It\'s good to get a naturally brewed soy sauce because otherwise they often contain artificial colors, preservatives and vinegar.

Hope that helps.
