Vegan Recipes Using Meat Alternatives

Meat alternatives or replacements, you either love them or hate them! Or somewhere in between!  But meat alternatives do have a useful place within vegan and plant-based cooking.

Using veggie sausages, burgers, pieces, chunks or mince can easily help people move over to a more plant-based diet or convert to a vegan diet. They solve the initial panic about what to serve for dinner by simply replacing meat or fish with a vegan substitute.

Once people become more confident veggie cooks, alternatives to meat replacements are usually discovered! For any of the following recipes cooked beans/pulses/lentils/bulgur wheat/barley/jackfruit, ground walnuts/sunflower seeds, etc and some juicy veggies such as mushrooms, aubergines and even sweet potatoes can all be used instead of the meat alternative.

Although some meat replacements such as tofu, seitan, tempeh, soy curls and textured vegetable protein can actually provide good wholesome nutrition.

Enjoy the adventure!
