My girlfriend is trying to eat less meat and I found a recipie for vegetarian lasagna, but it calls for meat substitute. Does this actually taste like meat?
Answer
Umm no, she does mean girlfriend. I don't know if you've heard, but some girls like girls. =P
I've never found a meat substitute that tasted exactly like meat, but I have had some that are so good that you don't miss the meat. I crumble tempeh into my vegan chili and it provides the meaty texture and comes out delicious. I fill lasagna with mushrooms and eggplant. I maake meatloaf with a blend of blak beans, lentils, and rye. I've heard that seitan also works very well in meat-centered recipes, such as vegan cheese steaks. I've never tried it because I am sensitive to gluten, but I've heard it's very good and meaty.

Homemade version of Morningstar Farms Grillers Crumbles?
Q. Where I live they don't sell any of these commercial meat substitutes, so I'd like to know if I can make these or something alike with TVP or Seitan or something like that? A lot of recipes call for them and I'm not sure substituting them just for rehydrated TVP would work :/ Thanks in advance!
Answer
I make a vegan meatloaf with TVP, soya flour, ground mushrooms and eggplant, I have used the leftovers for veggie sloppy joe's, chili, spaghetti sauce, even Mexican taco base, mix it and cook it like if you were ground meat, I always brown my TVP with oil and the fine chopped onions before I do any dish, it adds flavour and texture, I buy a product here in Canada called Soya Chunks, they come either round, oval or flat like slices of meat, I have used them broken up for the same dishes, I mix 2 cups of TVP with 1 cup of soya flour, 1 pound of ground button mushrooms and a small finely chopped eggplant, season it and I use veggie broth/veg oil to moisten, I press this in a greased cookie sheet and bake it for 30 minutes, then cool it, I have even used it for a veggie chicken parmesan with a breading and the tomato sauce and cheese garnish, I some times use soya cheese or regular mozzarella.
