Best Healthy Vegan Veggie Ground Meat Substitute

[@aadyae]

I love your cooking. However, I've tried a very similar recipe twice, but the final results had a crunch because the walnuts were not soaked to softness. I tried it a 3rd time, soaked the walnuts and bingo, soft ground. 😊

[@millzinc3]

Nice tip thanks

How long did you soak the walnuts until softness?

I am 74 and been an omnivore my entire life. My daughter is a vegan and in the last few years I have added more plant based meals, days, weeks to my eating plan. My biggest problem was weird ( to me ) ingredients and lack of flavour. I made this today and even ad I was prepping the Spice list gave me good sense that this would be tasty. And.. it is ! Can hardly wait to use it for Mexican dishes and a company Shepherd's pie. Unfortunately I can't upload a photo here, but it looks so much like cooked ground meat and give a nice mouth feel. I am so glad I found you channel, via Reels on FB. Thank you !!

I stop eating meat and transitioned to eating plant-based foods. I must admit, when I stop eating meat, my body went through withdrawals and I become sick--after a few weeks of just eating plant-based foods, I started to see a difference in my body and skin.

[@Joshdifferent]

Same 😊

[@wordsblah6392]

I think that’s a major issue that people do not discuss enough! The transition should be done gradually. In my personal experiences it gives the body time to adjust and also gives you time to learn about a completely new diet to make sure you’re getting the right nutrients!

[@dashahurskaya8053]

I chose plant based diet because I was already sick and I also got worse, much worse, during the detox period but then I got whole lot better. I wouldn’t any other way. Instead of gradually adjusting for months and years and still be sick, I suffered for a few months and then gained my life back.

[@nancynahnigoh5508]

If you sick you must drink herbs teasuch as rosemary , basil, fennel , thyme, oregano, parsley, coriander and mint all in powder forms , just add every these in one spoon into a teapot add ginger a bit, drink it 4 times a day as a tea, good lucks all the best

Why do you prefer no oil. I thought natural oils (olive, grapeseed, coconut, avocado) are good for us?

[@TheJmtmom]

Let me tell you something, sir. I'm not even religious, but I declare you are doing the Lord's work! I just made this, and it is A-MAY-ZING. I made it in preparation for your meatball gyro recipe, and I had to MAKE myself stop eating it so I can have some left for the gyros. It's THAT good.I am approaching vegan life as a complete newbie. I had been looking for recipes and came across your channel. SUBSCRIBED without hesitation! Oh, and yes, I followed the advice of some of the other commenters, and soaked the walnuts first (I soaked them overnight). Also, I made a small error in technique. I added everything to the pan at the same time, including the walnut mixture. I forgot it was supposed to be added later in the process. Turned out perfectly anyway. Actually, I think it's easier getting everything mixed together doing it that way. Looking forward to making those gyros and other vegan masterpieces!

[@christophershelvin6596]

Tried this recipe last night and was very impressed. You wouldn't know it had any meat at all. I followed the recipe as close as possible and added a few of my own seasonings. Also, I soaked my walnuts the night before to soften then up. Highly recommend and will definitely be a part of my cooking moving forward.

[@karenchristian9204]

OK I made the recipe and it is a keeper. I soaked the walnuts as suggested. To get the best consistency and texture I highly recommend using a food processor or Cuisinart. It’s hard to describe the taste of all the flavors but they blended together nicely. The texture is consistent with ground beef and at first take it kind of looks like ground beef. I was making tacos and was tempted to put shredded cheese on it but said nah, that defeats my purpose so I just ate it plain on corn tortillas. It had cooled down and I thought it needed to be heated up but that wasn’t the case. Tasted fine slightly warm. Because the taste is versatile I can see using it in a variety of dishes.

Made my second batch today and it came out just as good as the first! I always follow you TO THE LETTER and it's amazing! So, now I'm going to start making other stuff with it. I saw your meatballs and I am definitely going to try that. Just checkin' in! Keep the good stuff coming!💖💖💖💖💖

[@healthyveganeating]

Will do 👌🏾

[@emmasmythe1432]

This recipe is absolutely divine. Thank you so much for coming up with it. I have been trying to incorporate more vegetables into my diet and this absolutely fills the bill. I even mistakenly added the walnut paste at the same time as the vegetables were cooking. Whoops! 🤦🏻‍♀️. Wasn’t paying attention to the recipe instructions but it still turned out just fine. Will do it right next time. Can’t wait to try your carrot cake recipe next. 🤗. PS: I soaked the walnuts overnight as suggested by one of the other comments

This is my 4th time making your fabulous veggie ground! This time I subbed sunflower seeds for the walnuts and added some (green) lentils. I can’t mess it up! Still tastes great! Thank you again, Jayant, for this recipe!

I made this dish rather late. It's an acquired taste to me. It had a great flavor to it. I'm sure I'll start loving it soon. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I'm going to make one of those desserts soon enough.

[@mstoomuch25]

What did it taste like in your opinion?

@@mstoomuch25 It was meaty with the walnuts. Try it out, that's about all I can say. Try or take away what you like, play with it.

I'm so eager to try my hand at vegan cooking. After having a healthy eating class after church this afternoon. It was a seventh day Adventists church. Every Saturday they have vegan lunch. Yummy. So today I made a stir fry all veggies with cumin, rosemary, Himalayan salt cyane pepper. Very light touch of olive oil. Thanks so much for all your help. Teaching me how to cook delicious plant based food. God bless you in all your endeavors. Love sister Ellie in Florida

I made this today and all I can say is WOW! I soaked my walnuts overnight and used 6 cups of frozen cauliflower rice to replace the fresh cauliflower. It was delicious!!! It does make a lot so hopefully it freezes well. Thank you so much for this awesome recipe!!

Great job!

Did you defrost the cauliflower first, or tossed it in frozen?

[@justperfect59]

How long does it keep in the fridge, can it be frozen, and also for how long?? Please and Thanks

I’ve kept it in the fridge for up to 5 days. It freezes very well, so I recommend keeping some on hand for quick, diverse meals👌🏾

Yes. Just make sure to cool first and freeze flat and thin for easy thawing.

[@YvonneWashington-l8v]

I just made this. Your spice mixture is fantastic and gives it a beefy ground meat flavor. I ate some raw since that is usually what I prefer. Delicious as is. However, tomorrow I will cook some to see the difference. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes.

[@healthyveganeating]

Love that you experimented. Glad you like it!

[@MrBetaRayBill]

I wanted to make this recipe months ago, but my food processor quit on me. Once I got my new processor, this was the first thing that I made. The veggie ground tastes even better the next day once all the spices have had to chance to settle. I threw it on some vegan mac and cheese and the taste is fantastic. My wife loves it. I'm not a vegan, but I am striving to get more plants into my diet. Thank you so much for sharing. It was definitely worth the wait.

The vegan ground was a huge hit with my family. I used jackfruit in place of mushrooms, did a few other personal tweaks in terms of seasoning. It came out EXECELLANT. I was expecting to have enough to freeze. It barely lasted for two days. We made walking tacos with our vegan ground.
