Next, add the garlic, cumin, paprika and dried oregano, stirring well to coat onions. Allow the spices to cook for 30 seconds or so.
Next add the Beefless Ground and allow it to cook for three to four minutes. And then add the tomato purée and tomato paste and mix thoroughly. Next, add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water (just enough to prevent sticking and/or burning), followed by the vinegar, hot sauce and agave. Allow this to cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
