Method:

1. To make the patties, put the burger mix, egg and water into a bowl, mix, and allow to stand for 15 minutes, or follow the instructions on the pack. Form the mix into small patties with your hands.

2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and lightly brown the patties on both sides. Set aside. Add the onion, bell pepper, paprika, caraway seeds and flour and fry for 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Add the tomatoes and mix well. Add the stock, tomato paste, patties, mushrooms and potatoes, and bring to a boil.

4. Simmer for about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Note: Textured vegetable protein really comes into its own when it is used in soups and stew. The result is every bit as warming and filing as a meat dish.
