About

On some islands, the meat version of this stew is made on Sundays or special occasions. It’s also sometimes offered as a street food. The TVP can be marinated overnight to save time, and marinating overnight gives a more flavorful stew. If you have leftovers, keep in mind that the liquid will be absorbed into the TVP, so you may want to add some water when reheating.
