Vegan Lettuce Wraps

in #recipe7 years ago

 Vegan "ground beef" lettuce wraps.


     The beef substitute is made with cauliflower as a base. Finely chopped shiitake mushrooms add a meaty flavor, and confetti bits of nori give it umami. Smoke flavor is imparted with paprika, some acid and a gorgeous color come from tomato paste, other spices include garlic and onion, and everything is enhanced with Himalayan salt.

     On top, I laid some pea greens to rest and I topped it all with a cashew cream "cheese". The cashew cream is made with soaked raw cashews, which have been blended with plenty of nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavor, a bit of apple cider vinegar, water, and Himalayan salt. 




I made these bad boys for dinner tonight.


The only downside is that I didn't make enough of them.



Seriously.


If you're going to be eating vegan, double your portions because you will be hungry.



Recipe:


For the filling:

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, chopped (it's best to use a food processor, but I don't have one yet- first world problems)
  • 1 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 sheet nori, confetti-ed (fold it up and use some scissors to cut it)
  • 1 tbs. tomato paste
  • 1 tbs. smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. ground Himalayan salt


Directions

     Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until evenly incorporated throughout. Spread mixture on a lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and give it another mix, spread it out, and return to the oven for 10-15 more minutes until sufficiently dried.



For the cashew cream:


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup raw soaked cashews
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tbs. nutritional yeast (or more if you like it extra cheesy)
  • 1/2 tsp yellow miso (or less, or none at all if you're avoiding soy)
  • 1/2 tsp ground Himalayan salt
  • 1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar


Directions:

     Blend all ingredients together until smooth.

looking well but i don't know how testes .reply back when your complete dinner how is this?

It was amazing. To be honest, it tasted perfect WITHOUT the cashew cream. That's even easier to make because you only have to make the vegan "ground beef" to fill the lettuce with.
