Vegan “Ground Unicorn Meat”

February 14, 2016 by Ariel 2 Comments

Trying to eat less meat, sometimes it gets a little complicated because you wished you had some sort of “ground meat” type like protein but those store bought versions often contain too much salt, carrageenan or even worst, ingredients we can barely pronounced.

This is my own version for vegan “ground beef” which obviously isn’t beef but has some sort of beefy flavour although I like to call it unicorn meat since they are kind trendy right now and it always make people smile when I present them a dish made with this little concoction.  Use it pretty much like you would use ground meat, it’s perfect for taco, stuffed peppers, spaghetti sauce, lasagna and more!  Get creative, this recipe wont disappoint.

The only small detail to remember is when you shred your tofu block with your hands, make sure you keep decently big pieces or reduce the cooking time a little, if you have a lot of small pieces, so they don’t burn.

Have fun!

When I became nomad, almost a year ago, I knew my kitchen habits had to chance.  Done with the luxury of being able to buy a big pot of mayonnaise without worrying if it would be done in time.  Since we have been renting fully furnished apartments and we’ve been living in our suitcases, being able to store items in the fridge for weeks/months on end isn’t an option anymore.

You obviously don’t need to be nomad to make your own mayo.  You should have the desire to do so already because of the simple fact that you’ll feel extremely accomplished making this basic commodity that we’re so used to buy and you’ll be able to customize it exactly the way you want.  What I’m giving you today is a base, feel free to jazz it up by adding your favourite spices to make it your own.

What Sodium Carbonate can do for you…

A delicious ramen bowl have been on my mind for days and my last experience, months ago, in New York is starting to feel like a distant memory.  I’m salivating to the thought of a delicious, silky and salty broth and the chewy texture of homemade noodles but my palate can barely grab on to this souvenir as days goes…
