Hi Candace, May I suggest a vegan murgh Makhani (or chicken butter masala as they say in English)?

[@michelledonovan2268]

Edgy Veg what kinda cheese did you use?

[@christinamata3405]

I really like how you critique the recipe afterwards and say what could use improvement.

[@christinamata3405]

I used to be a chef at a vegan/raw restaurant! That was back when raw food was popular. I remember loving everything we made: nut meats, raw "tuna", raw cheesecake, raw lasagna. Mmm. I still make that stuff at home. I was never on a raw diet, I always mix it with cooked food. I eat it cause it's delicious, not cause it's healthy.

[@TheRainbowMS]

Hi! What were you using to do raw "tuna" please?

[@hmm-ue2wz]

To be honest,I would like to hear about the recipes

[@giselafiege7169]

There are plenty of raw foodists that have been eating raw vegan for decades and are healthier then the average plant based vegan. I my self love raw and have made lots of walnut dishes. It is very delicious. Let’s not forget that once one decides to change a habit till it becomes a new habit one must go through change. The tastebuds reprogram after a while to where everything taste so much more intense then before. Raw is high vibration high dense nutritional way of eating. That said switching to anything over night comes with more challenges than easing into change. Aloha

[@debadev2179]

I always make walnut mushroom “meat”, so good and tastes exactly like beef!!

[@RadioSnivins]

That sounds like a safer option. Walnuts are fibre bombs. Overscoff 'em and you'll explode. As I write this I'm still recovering from an ambush at 5:30 this morning. Still, mustn't blub.

[@hudaghassan5912]

Please is it texture meaty or chrunchy.?

[@amandac1343]

Will definitely try this! I usually make my faux beef with walnuts and cooked green lentils, the lentils add that extra moisture to the meat that is missing, without additional oil!

[@EdgyVeg]

GREAT TIP!!!

[@estherloske2220]

Amanda Longpre glad to know !!**

[@jamiemacrae4484]

Looks great! The best recipe for raw vegan 'meat' I have found so far is Laura Miller’s (Queen!) from her Raw Vegan Not Gross Burrito video. It’s AMAZING and very flexible. Also dries out a lot less as she adds soaked sun-dried tomatoes and little of the soaking liquid. I often add a little extra and keep the mixture wetter if I’m going to cook it (I have adapted it into a vegan haggis substitute).

[@digitalhostage7367]

I LOVE how authentic you are!!!💖

[@rickadawn92]

I’m not vegan, but I do try to use less meat! So for meal preps I use hamburger helper so I can divy it up and it lasts the whole week, I can’t wait to try this!!! Thank you!!!!

Tried it and hubby couldn’t tell the difference between this and ground beef. Definitely a winner in our household. Thanks for sharing!

[@EdgyVeg]

[@doozledazzle]

ground walnuts are the BEST ground beef replacement imo! I love the ground walnut/red lentil combo in pasta sauces or chilli. I find the texture just right :) I will try this recipe in a shepherd's pie

[@joy54321]

I agree with the comments suggesting sundried tomato. In a pinch, I have also used tomato paste and a little water or veggie broth to make it saucy. Thanks for the great video Candice!

[@Jaydit7]

This looks really good, especially as an alternative to TVP for people avoiding soy products. I have a recipe that uses walnuts, pecans, and sunflower or pumpkin seeds that I like, but will give yours a try. Thanks for the recipe/video.

[@davidthescottishvegan]

I find that soy TVP or vegan Quorn pieces would be cheaper than buying nuts.

[@yelahvibed]

Jenny Mizell lol not ignorant at all! The mushrooms and the walnuts I just food process together to make a “meat” instead of the traditional bolognese meat (which is ground beef/Italian sausage) and add all my spices!

Hello love your video, its excellent! Question please, the Walnuts you soaked, were they fully dry? If yes, how did you make them fully dry, without them being cooked, compared to putting them in a food dehydrator? I soaked my Walnuts overnight. Speaking of them, you are right, Walnuts can be like a natural anti depressant. Although I can tell you from personal experience, about a really good natural anti depressant. In my opinion, it can be used instead of the unnatural SSRIs, for mental health issues, it is Raw Cacao

[@EdgyVeg]

They were just store-bought unroasted walnuts that I soaked, no need for a dehydrator!

[@jerzeys2finest89]

@@EdgyVeg Thanks, do you know how long you dried them for or you just them in right after soaking?

[@rachelx963]

Is there a cheaper alternative to the sunflower seeds because those are expensive in my country

[@autumnrain7918]

Any other kind of mild nut would work- or just use more walnuts!

[@rachelx963]

AutumnRain like pine nuts or sesame seeds?

[@autumnrain7918]

​@@rachelx963​ Untoasted pine *might* work? Sesame has too much of a distinct flavor. I would honestly just stick to just walnuts, unless you are in the mood to experiment. I think nuts in general would probably be best in the exchange for the sunflower seeds, since they are a more savory seed. I've made walnut taco "meat" a handful of times, and I only used walnuts, and had a lot of success!

[@Miaraee]

I would do coconut oil since it’s so fatty

[@joeb4142]

Joe from the future here. Doesn’t “dry” mean either too low in water (moisture) _or_ too low in fat? I guess you meant both because you recommended both soaking the walnuts in water _and_ adding more oil. I’m happy to experiment but tbh sometimes the result isn’t great.
