Mexican grocery stores often have tvp where they keep the spices.

TVP is already dehydrated. You would be adding it to your dish in camp. It sucks up water/broth like rice or cous cous when it rehydrates, so adjust your rehydration accordingly.

From wiki...Serve ham-flavored textured vegetable protein in a dry or reconstituted form.
Dry TVP with ham flavoring can be added to salads and dips.
Reconstitute ham flavored TVP with 3/4 cup of boiling water over a cup of textured vegetable protein to add to recipes that call for ham.

We use the TVP that is like hamburger and ismoist and comes in one big block. I dehydrate it and then add it to meals at camp as needed. It rehydrates easily and I relly don't notice much difference in it from burger.

I cant see why you wouldnt be able to add it to your dish and dehydrate everything together, but this is something i have not tried myself. If you dont find an answer here, my solution would be to test it. Make your dish, add some ham tvp to a 1 serving portion, dehydrate it and rehydrate it to see how it tastes.
I haven't seen a moist version of ham tvp when I look online, but maybe I am just missing something. Reviews compare it to bacon bits. I've read a few and people that don't love the chicken & beef variety seem to love the ham version, even eating them right out of the package. Good luck with your jambalaya, it sounds terrific.

At our grocery stores it's usually over in the health food aisles/section. Just ask a manager at the store.

I am considering using a ham flavored TVP as an ingredient in a jambalaya for a FBC/1 pot meal. My question is once the meal is cooked (at home) and ready for the dehydrator is there any caution or concerns in dehydrating the meal with the TVP?
Thanks
