Plant Meat - Homemade Vegan Meats

[@roimatah4017]

I'm a meat eater but I'm weaning myself off eating it and always looking for meat alternatives. I use to be the biggest meat eater (especially when I was pregnant) but in the last 6 months I've been leaning towards eating more vegetarian and vegan meals. Always look forward to seeing your vids for ideas! Thank you Ela!

[@taliamasino1198]

Great job and continue to go vegan....you can do it!!🌸 it feels so awsome!

[@zazzy384]

Me too. In my local supermarkets have really good veggitarian & vegan stuff. I prefer Linda marcartneys veg sausages rather then actual sausages made from meat. And I like having a home made veggie curry instead of having a meat one. There's quite a few Indian restaurants near me that are just vegetarian which I like especially if they have a Casava dish that I like not sure what it's called though

[@roimatah4017]

Thankyou :) meat free is easy! But animal biproducts is a different situation lol but I'll get there eventually!!! Yet to try meat substitutes though!

[@georgie3593]

what does that even mean?

[@roimatah4017]

[@BeaWeston]

going vegan was the best thing I've ever done

[@okstar8371]

Or most stupid thing you did in your life.

[@laiq4952]

Okstar lame.

[@okstar8371]

Lol lame??? Bcs I enjoy eating meat you are a moron.

[@guiltymorty4117]

Honestly your videos are so inspiring. I went vegetarian 1 1/2 years ago, today i'm almost a full blown vegan (and i've even made my best friend turn vegetarian). Your videos help a lot, and they are always so informative and positive. Such a pleasure to watch. I hope you'll continue your great work, you do really make a difference. xx

[@missypie5803]

I like how she explains the thought process of vegans and vegetarians and doesn't try to bash people who choose to eat meat. I like her respect.

[@kinachong7049]

I feel like Ela is going to live forever, she's so healthy

[@STELLARSUBLIMINALS1111]

BK Sav You lost the argument when you said “God”. Plants tons so much protein, and it’s actually absorbable by the body the fastest, unlike meat and animal products which take forever to digest.

[@huh_rinii]

Berlyn K. We are animals too so...

[@khernandez01]

Berlyn K. Lol what??? What kind of argument is that? 😂 do people like you literally go to videos you don’t agree with just to troll & throw out stupid ass assumptions like that?? Like I’m not even full blown vegan/vegetarian but coming from either perspective of diet choices, your reply had me fucked up.

[@Calathea1]

Just made the minced "meat" for dinner and ate it inside veggie wraps and it was DELICIOUS! Thank you so much for the recipe as I never liked tofu nor knew how to cook it to make it tasty. Will fur sure be trying the meatballs and sausages. Love from Spain!

[@0100-t5q]

I've been Vegan since January and have been watching Vegan channels on here for maybe 6 months now. You can imagine what a fiasco that is. Your channel is one of the best if not the best Vegan channel on here. It has the most diverse topics and you have the perfect attitude and personality. Yours is also the only channel where I rewatch the videos and that's because your content is amazing.

[@takawipeters]

Girl, you are my favorite!! I gave you a shout out on another KZbinrs page. They hated on vegan carrot hot dogs, and I told then your recipe was solid. I can't wait to try these recipes.

[@elagale]

Thank you :D XX

[@karmensitta4536]

This is most perfect recipy also to make a vegan burger! Wawwwww......Awsome! You are the best! Thanks for sharing.🙏

[@he7is7at7hand]

Thank you for being so level-headed and non condemning to those who still eat meat. This video is great. Thank you.

[@alexanderlisa100]

Thank you for the awesome recipes. One of the things I found hard to stop eating was meatballs. I can not eat the glutton or tofu so the last recipe was right on time. Thank you again!

[@genevalee552]

Hi Lisa, l know what you mean, l found it hard to stop eating "Corned Beef" sandwiches. I wish someone could link me w/a delicious, healthy, meatless substitute. I recently saw a presenter/inventor on "Shark Tank" present his recipe creation to the "Sharks" & they all said it tasted fantastic! I'd like to know how to re-create it, or something very similar? Thanks & God bless.

[@butterbean3892]

Without a doubt you are one of my favorite channels, you are so sweet and clever. Every video is a pleasure

[@muchafelicidad844]

You are my favorite youtuber, so peaceful and beautiful

Thank you so much Mucha! XX

[@robertah8719]

I love watching your videos I learned how to make so much new stuff thanks to you. In any case it's hard for me to be interested in watching videos but yours is just right to the point you explain everything well and your outcomes look good. My son loves the plantbased meatballs you made

[@sarahradcliffe3299]

i gave the mince a try and it turned out delicious. i cooked mine about 30 minutes longer and it was perfect. it was boyfriend approved! thank you so much

[@nikkoleadams4677]

Miss you, Ela. Your videos are so moving and kind, and you really live what you believe in. Your values matter to you. I’m sure you’re out there living life in the best way...but if or when you come back, you’ll still have my full support.

[@PineapplesFromHell]

great video, Ela! Very well spoken

[@itzameylin8133]

Yes!

[@wickandde]

So proud you're a kiwi, coming across your vids was one of the best things ever!

[@raymondo7796]

wickandde I picked up the kiwi accent way before she mentioned it. If I'm not mistaken she's probably also from the lower south Island. Just a hunch. Great presentation and finally vegan recipes with New Zealand ingredients!

[@bohica4you]

just decided to go vegan after many years and my daughter convincing me that she wants me to be alive . I have diabetes and I may have some kidney trouble as well. She made me watch the movie "What the health?" and that was the moment that sold me to change . The irony is that i am a chef and i am a specialist in processed meats . i now have a philosophical and ethical conflict now to continue promoting product that I feel is ethically wrong to use and very unhealthy. i feel i have been misled and misled many people about eating meats . i hope i can do this , i must do this. thanks for sharing your delicious recipes

[@JEDIPrincess12]

I really hope you got better and are doing okay now. Vegan is always better for your health, for the animals and for our planet 🌱

[@kayenacur]

How about using your knowledge of processed meats and apply it to making plant based meat replacements?

[@stephanien6013]

Perseverance, God bless your desire to become vegan🙏

[@abk5828]

Going vegan has nothing to do with being alive. One should simply remove the sugar,gluten consumption and processed packaged products and that's it. There is nothing wrong with meat( especially fish ),eggs, moderate amount butter or homemade prob. yoghurt + honey, if you know where they are coming from. Do these people think all legumes are super protein subs and healthy as hell? Of course not ! Do you not know having sugar pumped smoothies everyday actually kills you as well? Are you actually not aware of the majority of vegetable - cooking oil are diseases themselves? I understand and TOTALLY RESPECT veganism, whether being a political or animal rights perspective, financial causes or environment etc... But vegan doesn't mean healthier than every other option. Please stop sjw-ing about this and actually learn the basics and see a professional ( functional medicine expert or nutritioanlist + dietician, preferably specialised in auto-immunity and cancer )

[@SonaliMankaSingh]

I stopped eating meat because of the taste (random fact). Love these recipes, inspires me to be more creative in the kitchen. That's actually my fave thing about plant based cooking- the creativity.

[@arvos98]

I feel exactly the same! I don't like meat and it makes me so happy to make something creative with veggies. Veggies are so beautiful and colourful when you compare them with meat.

[@sonjaemery]

Me too. Used to gag on it as a child and always hated the smell. Gross

[@angrygoldfish]

I really liked your attitude here. You had a warm and balanced sensibility, and it was inspiring. Cheers.

[@larissaw8214]

They look yum and surprisingly easy! Thanks Ela, these will come in handy :-)

[@shelbybettencourt4758]

I love how u emphasize this: All it has is its life, against its will. Quality of life. Etc. Beautifly said.

[@reddress112]

Wow , your channel is so underrated. Well done. Excellent content.

[@laynarickard262]

Video very well done! Thank you for writing the videos in the description area that way I can use them. I am blind and by having the recipes written out, my device will read the recipes. thank you again so much!

[@hopetherespudding]

Your videos are both calming and motivating at the same time. All of these look delicious!

[@elagale]

Thank you! :)

[@TheAndremejia]

I'm so impressed with your suggestions. I think these are great suggestions to being more conscious of embrassing a vegan lifestyle. keep up with the good work and I hope to continue seeing what other great recipes you have for your upcoming videos.

[@lealou1092]

I just found your channel and I am so excited! Why did I not know about you already?! I love diy's like making my own toothpaste and deodorant. I cannot wait to watch all your videos! I would love an about you video and workout video along with all your other wonderful videos!

[@JittoRalo]

This video was amazing! Because: there was some really powerful information, followed by even MORE information, and thrn some important information. It was packed with useful tips. I immediately subscribed.

[@toistory9088]

The ground tofu is soooo good, making it now. Thank you 4 sharing

[@airtripper17]

This is fabulous. I've always been afraid to make seitan because it always seemed way to difficult when I read the recipes, but you've shown that its not hard at all. :)

[@XeniaAllen]

I love this video. Thank you for making it. I actually enjoy all of your videos. I hope that one day you will do a home tour video. I love seeing how people who live a natural and organic lifestyle sets up their home. It gives me ides.

[@WildKraftyAotearoa]

YUM, kia ora, thank you for sharing such delish recipes!

[@renukapadmanabhan4446]

I'm vegetarian because of my religion and I'm happy because I don't tear poor cute animals limbs apart and eat them. Just the thought of it gives me the chills. I like these vegan recipes because then I won't feel left out, it would be a funny prank, and I won't be violent and eat animals. So I really do appreciate these vegan recipes. Keep up the good work!😉😉

[@dheeraj4karandikar]

Your plant-meat recipes look delicious!

[@DrewTabor]

Thanks for spreading the vegan message and for sharing such great recipes 💗 Will definitely have to try these!!

[@sarahradcliffe3299]

you've done it again! you always amaze me with new ideas for plant based cooking. im excited to try these recipes..and ill even give tofu another chance

[@brightlm25]

One thing I want to add for those who are sensitive to onion and garlic.. spicy brown mustard or a bit of jalapeno works beautifully.

[@shess1640]

This is a wonderful video ... A terrific subject matter. I'm vegan for a year and a half...and need to explore this options...fruits veg and grains...in simple form...seem to make me feel like I'm in such an isolated bubble....I need to crack open my vegan cookbooks and online resources and make more emotionally satisfying dishes.

[@AlinneMahlke]

So good a video! I had no idea seitan was flour based, I always thought it was soy based, haha. Thanks for sharing this! 💋

[@dinaatjuh]

This is a shirt cut recipe I think. To make seitan I heard you need to wash the dough. I don't exactly know, it always sounded waaaaay to complicated. But this recipe is relatively simple. Awesomeness!!

[@nanatoldmeimaladybug9145]

It's made with vital wheat gluten, which I think, to make yourself, you have to wash flour or something like that. But you can buy pre-made seitan or a bag of vital wheat gluten and make it yourself. Edgyveg on youtube also has a lot of really good seitan recipes.

[@AnonYmous-fo5jh]

It's not that complicated, really. Just mix 2 cups of water and 8 cups of flour together until it forms into a ball (this is just forming gluten), then rinse it off in cold water for about ten minutes. Its volume will decrease from the original size because you've washed off all of the starch.

[@nabilhawari6723]

[@suveviria1090]

Girl yes! Thanks for clearing up how many meat eaters think it's because we didn't like meat it's because of the animals 💕💕✨

[@Whatsername4224]

Great video! I have been looking for a good mince recipe, so will probably try that first. But they all sound delicious.

[@discorabbit]

The health benefits (and harmful effects of meat) are the most convincing.

[@tilo4075]

Love your ombre hair! I tried chia seeds and flax seed, fry with coconut oil It actually tasted amazing! And lots of cumin

This is excellent - thankyou Ela :) I hope you come back and make more videos please !!!

[@angievillanueva8691]

I am almost there to be vegan..thank you for the inspiring words of becoming vegan...

[@thinkathena2]

I love your videos and thank you for this one as well. Though I'm no longer a vegetarian, I am very conscious of the meat in my diet. Yes I do like the taste of meat. However, knowing that over half of the animals that are slaughtered for meat in the US are killed for nothing, ie, wasted food, makes choosing to incorporate meat substitutes a constant quest for me. Love the sausage technique - will make some up for Sunday's breakfast. :)

[@rainysunnyday1546]

Really nice recipes ! I'm not vegan but I try to substitute meat in a lot of my meals + I really enjoy the taste of plant based paté and balls. Thanks again :)

Yeay... 1st one to view and comment. By the way... I really love to watch your videos esp the DIYS ones. God bless... ❤

[@edithdlp8045]

I am vegetarian since 1994 and i did it for health and ethical reasons. I am 43 (i have been vegetarian since i was 18). I ate meat because i was forced to but as soon i was capable of making my own decisions i went vegetarian. I was told by my husband when i was pregnant that i should eat meat for the baby. Fortunately, the doctor was a wise person and he told me to eat beans, lentils, greek yogurt and a vitamin supplement that had iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium and vitamin b12. Thanks to my dr. I did not have to eat meat. Get informed before you go to the dark side (like my son says. He is not a veggetarian because i did not want to impose my will to them like my parents did to me). Now that i am 43 everyone tells me that i look in my early 30's. It must be that i have not consumed any fish, chicken or fish for the last 25 years😀

Hi Ela, I will definitely be trying these, they look delicious. I wondered if you've ever tried TVP mince or slices? I've used them for a few recipes (I was raised a meat eater though I didn't really like the taste and couldn't eat chicken) mostly for recipes my mum used to make. Keep making great videos! Btw, I made all my kids your bath kits and they were a big hit!

Yes I used to use TVP mince a lot before this recipe, it can be very handy! That is really great to hear! :) Xx

You've articulated the reasons to be Vegan & the reasons why it's wrong to eat other animals better than Anyone I know apart from Plutarch & Oscar Wilde & maybe Ghandi ! Even though I'm vegan & an animal rights activist I cannot stand listening to most Vegan KZbinrs. They're so annoying & ram their views & diets down people's throats to the point where They probably desensitize their audience! Thank You for proving We're intelligent people! You're extremely watchable! Even if I was a meat eater I'd enjoy Your channel & You have more chance of getting through to people than some of the fanatics I see on here, plus You're not promoting ridiculous raw food diets!
