Jenelopy Sep 2021 8:17pm, 29 Sep 2021 709 posts	Quote Pin Jenelopy One of the nice thigns about not eatng meat is not having to eat revolting things like mince. (maybe my judgement was clouded by school dinners?) I wouldn't try and replicate it in a veggie recipe, but use something nicer like lentils, beans or veg.

Chrisull Sep 2021 10:34pm, 29 Sep 2021 18,504 posts	Quote Pin Chrisull I could never stand mince - in fact it's probably one reason I'm veggie, it made my stomach turn whenever I smelt it at primary school.
Red Squirrel Sep 2021 11:40pm, 29 Sep 2021 21,997 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel Yeah - I make my chilli with red pepper, celery, carrot, courgette and black beans as the substantial part; rather than any kind of meaty substitute. Has a lovely texture and feeling of freshness to it.

Garfield Oct 2021 10:58am, 2 Oct 2021 16,133 posts	Quote Pin Garfield RS, I tend to do the same thing in chili or bolognese too, though sometimes in the latter case, I might toss in quorn mince.
sallykate Oct 2021 11:14am, 11 Oct 2021 8,333 posts	Quote Pin sallykate Once upon a time, Tesco used to do a lovely vegetarian mushroom "pate" - I suspect it could be recreated with mushrooms and cream cheese or creme fraiche. Recently I made this vegan mushroom pate: veganonboard.com - it was really good and a very tasty alternative to goats cheese to go on toast with my lunchtime soup (as I'm trying to cut my dairy down a bit). I used pecans rather than walnuts and suspect that any nut would do really, or brown lentils if you avoid nuts. I'm going to try that next time.
Garfield Oct 2021 11:32am, 11 Oct 2021 16,161 posts	Quote Pin Garfield I like the sounds of that SK. I'm going to have to try that...I have lots of walnuts at the moment. I make a vegan parmesan with them, garlic and nutritional yeast.
