Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large saucepan, heat oil and saute onions until lightly browned. Add the TVP mince, stir and cook for two minutes. Pour the hot water or stock over the saute and simmer for four minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, herbs and garlic together with one cup cold water. Stir in the egg and leave to one side for ten minutes.
Combine the cooked TVP mince with the breadcrumbs mixture, then add the soy sauce. Stir well and season to taste. Using your hands, shape the mixture into an oval mound and place it in the center of a large baking dish, leaving plenty of space all around for the tomato sauce to run.
Heat the tomatoes, tomato paste and seasoning in a small saucepan, and pour over the loaf, then bake for one hour.
