Vegan Mock Meat (Gluten-Free, Oil-Free)

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 ounces dry soy curls – half of a bag
  • 1 ¼ cups vegetable broth
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 8 ounces baby bella or portobello mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  • ½ cup raw sunflower seeds or walnuts – walnuts create a darker “beef” color
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons tamari
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch or arrowroot

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat.
  • Place soy curls in a large bowl and cover with the broth. Let them soak for 10 to 15 minutes. After soaking, reserve ¼ cup of the broth, and drain the rest. Lightly squeeze the soy curls to remove excess moisture, then set aside.
  • In the preheated pan, dry sauté the onion and mushrooms until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, rehydrated soy curls, and smoked paprika, and cook until the soy curls are heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • In a large food processor combine the nuts or seeds, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pulse until the nuts/seeds are chopped. Spoon the soy curl mixture into the food processor and drizzle with vinegar and tamari. Pulse 7 or 8 times or until it resembles ground meat.
  • Return the mixture to the same sauté pan, and cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Dissolve the corn starch in the reserved ¼ cup broth. Pour into the pan and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes. The soy curl beef should now appear more moist, slightly clumpy, and lightly browned. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as desired. Enjoy as is, or use in another recipe.

THE BIOLOGICAL AGING CHALLENGE

THE BIOLOGICAL AGING CHALLENGE, 2 hour documentary produced by Gary Null, PhD, is a comprehensive examination of how natural, non-drug based strategies, such as a plant-based diet and exercise, and methods to change our perceptions about ourselves can have profound impacts to regenerate the body and mind and slow, or even reverse, the aging process. In this exclusive film, we listen to some of the leading medical experts in anti-aging medicine, inspirational speakers and the testimonies of the participants who undertook a 3-month trial. We follow the protocol’s principles to gain a taste of the kind of joy in life and renewed physical vitality experienced by those who took part in the studies.

Editor’s Note: Some suggest that we avoid oils & concentrate on unprocessed foods instead.
