I'm very curious what TVP is also... found several recipes that call for it, and when you're only beginning to go vegetarian, all these things are confusing... this sounds great, though, and I really want to try it. - 3/13/09

I made this last night and we loved it. Only difference in mine was I sauteed the onions with a little olive oil.
