Omg RU-vid unsubscribed me from your channel for years 😭😭 I just found your channel and btw, Now i Cook and eat 90% vegan, you were one of the 1st guys to motivate me
I used to be vegan but I’m IBS and let me tell you, the vegan trends are not getting more IBS friendly. It’s the total opposite and I can hardly find a protein powder because pea protein powder is all the rage and will put me in the hospital with unbearable painful reaction.
Omg I literally just made taco meat from cauliflower, mushroom, and walnut. Added garlic, tomato sauce, homemade taco seasoning. It was SO MUCH BETTER THAN BEYOND OR ANY STORE FAKE MEATS!!!! absolutely incredible!!
I just made this. The walnuts wouldn't soften up. I cook them for a half hour. I think I'll soak them overnight next time. Besides the nuts being too hard, it tasted AMAZING! I added a chipotle pepper and dehydrated onion instead of the powder. Thank you!
Love the explanations and rationale for why you add things. It really helps us who like to also tweak with recipes, to understand what other possibilities could work. This channel is so educational, fun and genuine! Thank you
I'm just learning how to cook, i Tried making these and they are DELICIOUS! Thank you so much for the recipe! The only things i did differently was i used a generic taco seasoning Mix instead of the one in the video, because i don't like spicy food, and i chopped the cauliflower into bigger pieces, maybe about half An inch in diameter. It's so good, i was blown away. It reheated excellently in the microwave the next day, too. I'm definitely going to have this several times a month, though I'll probably add more walnuts next time
Mushroom seasoning goes so fast in our household! My mom is vegetarian and I’ve found it to be super helpful. There are also a lot of yummy Vietnamese vegan seasonings under the brand Quoc Viet. Look for the vegetarian versions and they’re usually vegan. Vietnamese word for vegetarian is Chay
@@tomchrisfield7348 you can! But the mushroom seasoning is a kitchen staple in my opinion. Lasts longer than mushrooms in the fridge and a quick flavor boost! Whenever I cook with a bunch of mushrooms, for example in a soup, I love to add a bit of mushroom seasoning to further enhance the flavors
This- was so DELICIOUS! I made it last night- I’m Mexican so it tastes similar to al-pastor- my teenage boys gave it 10! I didn’t add any soy because my son has eczema. Staple in my meals now!
So I made this for my meat eating hubby and he liked it. He said it needed a little more moisture. I’ll make it again and tweak it like I normally do with new recipes. Thank you for all your recipes and the good information on how food/ingredients work together.
One thing he didn’t add that the vast majority of recipes for this meat sub include is soy sauce (tamari and liquid aminos are often seen as subs, which makes sense). I’m not sure if that’ll solve the moisture problem, but if nothing else it’ll add a little more depth of flavor.
tacos, gyros... at the end of the day, they're all just sam'miches...this looks like it could also be a really good vegan substitute for chorizo (mexican style) though you may need to add something like coconut oil for the mouthfeel. I'm glad you credit, as best you can, your sources, but also i'm glad you don't just cut / paste them... it's good to see creators that say "I got this idea from so and so, but i'm going to do my own take on it"
I think that this is a perfect meat replacement. It has the right feel in your mouth. I haven't made this in a few years, so I'll definitely be trying your taco recipe. Yum! Thank you for sharing. ☺
Since seeing that poll, I was really curious about the result of this experiment of yours ;D I don't miss the meat much and substitutes like beyond meat are just not my fave. Hence, these veg-based ideas of yours always spark my interest - with your expertise and experience you are able to elevate such humble ingredients to a completely new level creating some incredible dishes! And I must say, this one seems to be one of them! It seems the switches you made (even though they very really tiny!) made this concept even more satisfying! Really appreciate your work Mark, thank you for being here and sharing your adventures with us! Stay safe and have a wonderful day or night!
I found one of these recipes awhile back, and (inspired by you!) tweaked it by adding coconut oil, ground dried shitakes, and some vital wheat gluten + methylcellulose to bind it all together and give it a bit more meatiness/chew. Cool to see you making a video on it. Fooled my friends, who thought it was real ground beef.
I made this with frozen cauliflower rice, pecans and 8 oz of minced mushrooms, and oven roasted it. Amazing! It’s a weekly staple of my Sunday meal prep now. Thanks!
something massively refreshing to see a guy whose honest. if it tastes bad he says it tastes bad then tries to improve it. breath of fresh air from the usual no mistake youtube cook/chefs
Hey! Got the mushroom seasoning! It's really amazing and helped me with an alternative to my ham seasoning I use! I want to start incorporating more vegetarian/ vegan meals in my diet. Just need to start with something easy. Need some broke adult vegan meals lol.
New Subscriber this is my 3rd video! You two are so cute and awesome! I love that you're just exploring recipes using vegetables and nuts and not making a big deal about it being vegan or plant based.
I think on the next round though I would steam the cauliflower first to help soften it a bit and soak the walnuts. The finished product had a little too much crunch and not that mushy Sloppy Joe texture. But the flavor was right on.
Love when a man cooks my dad was the best cook, and love how at the end the scroll didn’t block you two! You could also put salsa or guacamole on and I just bought a bigger processor online for like $40 and it works amazing
I use walnut meat and I cook mine in oil, but adding the cauliflower is a new thing also seen it with mushrooms, I must try this method, thanks for this one🥰
Chipotle Tobasco is amazing! I would assume the oil would come out of the walnuts, but... I'm with you on thinking a touch of olive oil might help. I always start my tacos with frozen mirepoix, sauteed in a Tbsp of olive oil, then add minced garlic. One small suggestion for this size of recipe: try adding one or two teaspoons of cocoa powder. Aside from it technically being a kind of seed flour, acting as a bit of a thickener and binder, as I'm sure you've heard, it is also traditional in Mexican cooking, as it's found in molé. I always add it to chili, and it pushes it into amazing territory. Let me know if you ever have done that, or if you haven't and end up liking it. P.S. Only because you asked: Gyro, as it is Greek, is pronounced "hero," which is where the correctly pronounced but misspelled "hero sandwich" gets its name. For that, they use gyro meat, so it's goat or sheep, but instead of in a wrap, which is traditional, people started using buns, because that's what they found in East Coast bakeries, and they started topping it with all kinds of non-traditional "fixins," including Cole slaw, making it an American fusion food. I'll have one, minus the goat/sheep, because eeeww. I tried a traditional one back in 1987 or so, while I was transitioning to lacto-ovo vegetarian, and... it tasted like a barnyard. To use a pseudo-Dutch, SW Michigan adjective, it was "disgustra." I'd much rather pet them than eat them. As always, I truly enjoy your content and style, and like seeing your happy wife enjoying your happy food.
There's not a humble brag here, as much as it sounds like one. But decades ago when it was only the Yves ground meat out there, cauliflower and walnuts was the exact thing we used to cut our mix down by half to last longer. SO gooood. Kudos on making the extra step to making the full recipe.
I always add oil to my "taco meat". I'm not one to use oil a lot but it made a difference to me with the "taco meat" no matter what veg I used with mushrooms and walnuts. I love that you used lime juice. I don't know why I didn't think of lime! Crazy! I love limes, dah.
a lot of bolognaise recipes call for walnuts, but i like an excess of vegan parmesan (pretty much the same as you did it) and found that when i added blitzed cashews it really helped bind it all together better than walnuts. gonna try this ground beef replacement myself, but will sub the walnuts for cashews probably... might omit the cashew cheeze to avoid a cashew overload!
We found a new type of cauliflower, Mark. It is known as Taiwanese cauliflower. You'll find it in the Asian markets. It has a firmer, more flavorable flesh. It likes to be battered and fried. It is really good!
Maybe you allready have but walnuts(pecans) ,garbanzo bean flour, n flax seed make pretty good ground beef. Sometimes people mix walnuts n pecans but either or both will do. The commercial prepackaged equivalent is Neat meat alternative.
Also, yes I'd consider a Gyro a kind of taco, or at least both of them are a kind of sandwich. Sandwich= filling between two layers of bread or bread substitute like a tortilla.
I hav a cauliflower from the market and walnuts i diddnt hav a idea for and hav been thinking about sloppy joes so im deffinetly trying this base. Im just adding peppers, onions and tomato sauce,tahmari but i feel this would be great the way you made it Thanks stash i cant wait for the book.
Cute food processor! ☺ I have a Cuisinart food procesor that I bought back in 1975. The thing is a tank. It is still going strong 47 years later. Sadly the plastic bowl cracked but I found a used one at an auction and got a whole new procesor for $1, even though all I wanted was the bowl. I never regret spending money on quality equipment.
OMG! I saw this on the side bar, and had to check it out. GLAD I did. In light of current happenings, I think it behooves me well to learn how to make vegan 'faux' meat types of things and in perusing the titles to other of your vids, wow! Thee Mother Load of things to try out! Woo Hoo!
2:04 Excellent observation. Toasting the walnuts in a pan with spices beforehand would definitely bring out the oils in the nuts, thus more flavor.....
Seriously: I love that you have a RU-vid channel with over 375K subscribers and you're still rocking a small food processor. That's real. Good for you.
I don't have any nuts or legumes or basically anything in this video except cauliflower, cornstarch, and olive oil, but it's got me thinking. I've replaced pasta and rice with cauliflower to reduce carb intake, so I like to keep it on hand and it lasts a long time in the fridge. I eat meat but sometimes when I'm out I need to eat up the veggies lying around.
But Its pronounced gyro in English like how you would pronounce gyroscope. I'm surprised she didn't know how to pronounce such a popular food item lol..
To anyone curious about getting a more "fatty" kinda feel, I actually tried this recipe and added some Castelvetrano olive into the mix to experiment, and BOY, it added an extra fatty kinda mouth feel to it. I did it before the cooking so I essentially ground it in before, worked well for me.
Most of the time the nuts are boiled in a flavorful liquid first, then chopped up in a blender, then cooked in skillet with aromatics and sauce. You really don't need the cauliflower in the mix. This can be done to any type of nut.
I made vegetarian burritos once ( from a cookbook I no longer have) . It had walnuts in it, and I don't remember what else. It was absolutely delicious!
I haven't watched your videos in about a year but DUDE you've lost weight and looking goooood! Damn, the vegan diet is doing wonders! I should get on it!
Hey dude loving the content, your simply a genius when it comes to recreating classic meaty dishes, I would give one of my own ribs to see how you would make a vegan Baby back style rack of ribs, I'm mean complete with bones (sugar cane?) the lot. I mean seriously imagine rocking up to the next family BBQ and slapping that on the grill! Theres some great recipes put there already I know, but I just know you will take it to the next level dude 🤞 keep up the insane content 😎
