VEGAN ZORZA (Galician typical tapa!)

   Zorza is a very typical tapa in Galiza, the place where I´m from in Spain. It is made with the same meat that it is used to make chorizo and it´s also called picadillo de chorizo, xorza, chicas, sisos...but the most common name is Zorza. It is usually served with fry or boiled potatoes (with some oil and pimentón (paprika) on top).
 Of course this is a vegan version of zorza!!

You will need:

1 cup of soya mince
3/4 cup of olive oil

2 tablespoon of Pimentón (Paprika)
1 and 1/2 tablespoon of Oregano
1 tablespoon of Parsley
2 tablespoons of soya sauce or white wine
2 cloves of garlic
1 bay leaf
Vegetable gravy (OXO or something similar)
Salt
Pepper


Method:



At first we need to hidrate the soya for around 15 min. We will use water with gravy so the soya will take more flavour. We will drain the soya very well.

Next step prepare the marinade. We will finely chop the garlic and then we will add the rest of the ingredients mixing them fine.

    Finally we will mix soya mince with our marinade. We will see that soya absorbs most of the marinade so we could add more oil and spices if we want. 

    We could cook it after 4-5 hours (It would be better on next day) and thats´s it! If the soya absorbed all the oil you can use more to cook it.

You can use this zorza to make empanadas, empanadillas, stews...
