METHOD
Meatless Balls
Soak the dry TVP in the cups boiling water for 10 minutes. Saute the onion in the oil, then add to the TVP, along with the chilli powder, garlic powder, pepper, salt, oregano, soy sauce and flour. Stir until well mixed. Mold this mixture into balls 2.5 centimeter / 1 inch in diameter, pressing firmly. Fry in some oil until crispy.

Spaghetti Sauce
Saute onions and peppers in the olive oil until soft and then add the tomato puree and all the spices, except the garlic powder, and bring to a boil. Simmer about 20 minutes (meanwhile cook some spaghetti in some boiling water as per package instructions). Add the TVP and garlic powder to the sauce and let sit for 10 minutes while the TVP softens. When the TVP is soft, serve on spaghetti noodles with the meatless balls.
