Raghavendra Madyastha asked for recipes using TVP.  The following is one of
my favorites.  It came from a _Vegetarian Times_ article about TVP (Feb. 92).

      Title: Spinach-Mushroom Pie
      Yield: 8 servings
 
---------------------------DOUGH---------------------------
      1 tb Yeast
      1 c  Warm water
    1/2 ts Sugar
      1 tb Oil
      3 c  Unbleached flour
    1/2 ts Salt

--------------------------FILLING--------------------------
      1 c  TVP granules or flakes
    7/8 c  Boiling water
      1 ts Oregano
      1 ts Basil
    1/2 ts Fennel seeds
      1 tb Olive oil
      2 c  Mushrooms, sliced
     10 oz Frozen chopped spinach,
           -thawed and drained
      6 oz Tomato paste
    1/4 c  Water
           Soymilk or oil for brushing
           -top crust
 
  Dough:  In a large bowl, mix together yeast, water,
  and sugar.  Let stand 5 minutes.  Add oil, flour, and
  salt.  Knead about 5 minutes into a smooth, elastic
  ball of dough,  Cover and let rise until double in
  size. Punch down.
  
  Filling:  Mix together TVP, boiling water, oregano,
  basil, and fennel seeds.  In a large skillet, heat
  olive oil.  Saute TVP mixture for a few minutes.  Stir
  in mushrooms, spinach, tomato paste, and water until
  heated through.
  
  Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll the dough into a
  large oblong shape, spread filling evenly on top and
  roll up like a jelly roll.  Brush top with a little
  bit of milk or oil. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.  If
  crust begins to brown too much, cover with foil during
  the last 5 or 10 minutes. Cut into 16 slices to serve.
  
  Note:  I have used half the oil in the bread and 1/3
  the oil in the filling with good results.  Also, salt
  is really needed in the filling (if you like salt).
