Da Speech: Crumbled tofu or TVP (textured vegetable protein) may be used instead of vegetarian burger crumbles. Liquid Smoke
comes in various flavoring which is stirred in near the end of the cooking time to add a pleasant smoked nuance to the stew.
You want Hickory here. You can find it in Wally or natural food stores or even your local general store. Vegetarian Worcestershire
sauce, available in natural food stores, is made without anchovies.
