    i made this recipe today, and was totally blown away, it tasted like real ground beef. One trick i did for it to have more beefy taste was to add decent amount of fat(olive oil), until i could see little glistening on mushroom-walnut mix, because beef has fat in it too. So to mimic that i added olive oil, and followed rest of the steps, it was a total hit. Wish i could add the picture of my fake beef. Thank you for this video

      Marmite added to this gives a very meaty/umami taste. You can order it online if you can't find it in local stores. I like it in chili, stews, soups, Shepherd's pie. Anything that needs a Beefy taste.

  • @SaccharinSweet123
    @SaccharinSweet123 Před 2 lety +162

    Dried mushrooms work even better! Something about the drying and rehydration process makes them so umami packed and gives them a meaty texture. I'm an omnivore and if someone presented me with a beef mince or a dried and rehydrated mushroom mix, I'd pick the mushrooms. The texture is sublime.

      @@paquefeal2385 it is not really a recipe. I just used my food processor and did a quick chopping of the eggplant and then threw in some walnuts. I never measured, just go with your gut depending on how ya feel. Then I would throw in whatever seasonings that compliment the meal that you are making. I often use it as a lasagna meat so I would throw in the Italian seasoning, some basil, garlic and onion, thyme, whatever. I have also Don burritos with it and I use a steak seasoning blend or taco spice blend depending on the mood of the day. It just works really well.

    I also remember making this recipe back in the '60's and '70's with one difference, and that was to save some of the mushroom caps and stuff them with the mixture, then bake. The caps release their moisture and make a sort of gravy that adds to the flavor. You can also use large portobello caps; two make a nice main dish.

    I do this and make wonderful burgers. I do chop onions finely and sautee them. I also sautee the mushrooms until they shrink, reinforcing their flavor. We have a lot of pecans from surrounding trees, so sometimes I add those as well. I add a tiny bit of soy sauce for binding and a couple tablespoons of almond flour and bake it in the oven for about twenty minutes at 350°. My husband loves silan (date syrup), so I squirt a little on top before serving. So much better than meat burgers and better than store bought vegan burgers. Don't forget your salt and pepper.
