For the burgers, boil the vegetable broth in a medium saucepan. Stir in the TVP, cover, and remove from the heat for 5 minutes

Whisk together the egg replacer powder and water; set aside. Combine all the dry ingredients, onion, and bell pepper  in a large mixing bowl. Add the TVP, ketchup, and egg-replacer to the dry ingredients and combine well.

Shape into patties and place on a baking sheet that will fit in the fridge. Chill covered with plastic wrap for 30-90 minutes. I’d say the longer the better, to give some time to firm up. They won’t cook down much at all, so consider thickness as you make the patties.

This would be a good time to make the fries . . .see below.

Once the patties are ready, spray a flat skillet or pan with some cooking spray. You can also grill these over medium heat, but I didn’t want to mess with the grill.  About 5-7 minutes per side over medium heat.

Serve open-faced or on a bun with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

For the fries, combine them in a large bowl, drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1-2 teaspoons of truffle oil, and sprinkle generously with the sea salt. Layer onto a baking sheet lined with foil.

Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes. Check often, as they may need more or less time.
