🌱 What’s Inside the Mix

Your Tamzine Plant‑Based Deli Loaf Kit includes:

• Bean & Spice Base (garbanzo powder, lentil powder, onion, garlic, white pepper, sage, thyme, chicken‑style bouillon, smoked paprika, dehydrated jalapeño, dehydrated red bell pepper, salt)

• 9‑Grain Binder Packet (cracked grains that create the firm, sliceable deli‑meat texture)

All spicy vegetables are dehydrated for long shelf life and perfect hydration during cooking.

🥄 What You Add

• 2 cups water

• 1 tbsp oil (optional, for richer flavor)

No fresh peppers needed — everything is already in the spice packet.

⭐ How to Make It

(Simple, foolproof, and designed for perfect texture)

1. Cook the Bean Base (NO grains yet)

Bring 2 cups water to a simmer. Add the Bean & Spice Base only. Stir well and simmer 8–10 minutes until thick like chili.

This step activates the natural starches and hydrates the dehydrated peppers for full flavor.

2. Let It Cool

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool 15–20 minutes. It should be warm, not hot.

3. Add the 9‑Grain Binder

Stir in the 9‑grain packet dry. Mix until it forms a thick dough.

Adding the grains now (not during cooking) keeps the texture firm and sliceable.

⭐ 4. Pack Into a Loaf Pan

1. Line a loaf pan with parchment or lightly oil it.

2. Press the mixture firmly into the pan.

3. Smooth the top with a spatula.

4. Tap the pan to remove air pockets.

A tightly packed loaf ensures clean, even slices.

⭐ 5. Bake the Deli Loaf

Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 60–70 minutes

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

⭐ 6. Chill Overnight (Critical Step)

Cover and refrigerate 8–12 hours. This step sets the structure and creates the classic deli‑meat firmness.

Once chilled, the loaf becomes fully sliceable — thin or thick.
