Plant-Based Meat Substitute | meat replacement, soy-free, mushroom & walnuts (sweet greens vegan)

[@Shakaylafelice]

Heyyy y’all! Thank you so much for watching this video. If you’ve made your own plant based meat substitute pleaseeee share different ways you’ve used it. Since I make a batch of it every week, I’m always looking for new ways to use it!

[@tammi67able]

Thank you ❤it’s delicious even though I’m not a mushroom 🍄 fan but it’s delicious this way. God bless

[@OneinChrist7]

Try adding cauliflower to your walnut and mushroom mix. I did it this week. Oh my gosh it was amazing! I made some enchiladas with it. You going to do the same thing you do with the mushrooms and a walnuts. Chop it in the food processor. Don't cook it prior then cook it with the walnuts and mushrooms. It adds up meaty chew

[@LoWLita313]

@shakaylafelice have you tried this mixture with chili?

[@LadyK70]

Here's another suggestion if you don't want to eat mushrooms, use lentils or small red beans instead. When you mix the lentils with walnuts it's very meaty, especially when making spaghetti and nachos. Or if you are allergic to nuts, just do lentils and mushrooms together. Still going to be meaty and add in a little liquid smoke to give more umami flavor.

[@amandajoseph8883]

Yes I use brown lentils with either mushrooms or pecans all the time. Lentils are super inexpensive and help me stretch the more pricey items like nuts. And I haven't tried it with liquid smoke but some worcestershire sauce also addsp great umami "meat-like" flavor. I'm not vegan so I use regular worcestshire but I'm sure vegan worcestershire would yummy too.

[@TheGingerJoye]

Thank you so much for that contribution, Ms. Kathryn! Have a wonderful day! I’ve been using chickpeas for everything so 😂 I’m ready to mix it!

[@LadyK70]

@@TheGingerJoye you’re welcome! Glad to help!

@@amandajoseph8883 oh yeah that’s a great idea! It’s very cost effective.

[@JustJoia]

I just used lentils and walnuts last night for tacos. It was soooo good!

[@MsNat71]

Thanks for this video. I've made this a couple of times and I've found that it is better to process the mushrooms and walnuts separately because the walnuts will get too mushy. I have a larger food processor that can hold all of the ingredients. Keep the recipes coming helping to reduce the amount of process foods we are consuming.

[@Shakaylafelice]

Thank you!!!!

[@TOYACLIFESTYLE]

I made walnut meat for the first time last week and I am hooked.

[@Shakaylafelice]

That is meeeee

[@missklassy4447]

I agree, Im late and made it when she mentioned what she eats in a week. I decided to look the reciept up on her channel, its a big hit with me!

[@laurynmiya888]

If you allergic to mushrooms you can also use eggplant as a meat substitute not in this recipe necessarily but fry it on its own

[@AnikasKreativePlans]

I am making a batch tomorrow using your recipe for my tacos. I will make enough to make a veggie burger…..I add bell peppers and black beans or chic peas. Your channel is so inspiring. I am motivated to cook more

This is the best recipe period ever and I have made it and it turned out amazing

[@Shakaylafelice]

Glad you liked it!!

[@jomecia3]

I will say yes you can freeze the walnut meat, I’ve been doing this for a year now. I make them in large batches pre seasoned based on the meals Im making. Also if I make a raw plant base meal I still preseason and freeze the walnut meat. Just take couple mins to toss on stove and prepare the meal you’re making. I do the boiling method and season the water with no base chicken bouillon and onion powder. If it’s for a raw meal, I just soak overnight.

[@Shakaylafelice]

Good to know!

[@Guccinanii_]

How long do you boil for? I made it and my spaghetti was crunchy 😭😭

[@jomecia3]

@@Guccinanii_ I boil them for about 30 to 45 min, not on a high boil. If I make spaghetti, I make my sauce from scratch so after my sauce has been cooking for 2hr, I add the boiled walnuts to the sauce and it simmers in there for another 1hr and half. You don’t have to make the sauce from scratch but I would simmer your favorite sauce for about 30 min before adding noodles. It still will have a slight crunch but shouldn’t be like cereal lol. Hope that helps

[@Guccinanii_]

@@jomecia3 thank you so much I will give your method a try!!

You can also substitute with lentils. And yes, you can freeze the walnut and mushroom ground. I also would like to make hamburgers and sausages with it. I haven't tried it yet but I think I have an idea on how to make the hamburger. But with the sausages, you would have to know the exact spices to use. I can't wait to see how you make your sausages with it, so that I can copy your recipe. 😁

I need to try it with lentils!!
