A rich tvp filling with garlic mash, and i made a mushroom gravy to go with it. There's about a block and a half of vegan butter across the filling, mash, and gravy, so definitely not the healthiest of recipes. Delicious though.
Looks great! And it wouldn't be very difficult to make it 'healthy' for those who would like. Just sub the butter out for olive oil and use something like lentils and chickpeas for filling, still tastes delicious.
Oh absolutely. I was willfully making this quite decadent as it was to share and I wanted to impress. My favourite 'mince' substitute is actually a mix of brown lentils, walnuts, and mushrooms
Idk if this is the right place to ask, but I'm trying to limit my meat intake a bit more. Does anyone know of a good non mushroom vegan or vegetarian gravy? I just cannot stand mushrooms and it's the only gravy I've been able to find with my (admittedly limited) research
ChatGPT: You can make a vegan gravy without mushrooms by using vegetable broth or stock as a base and adding flavor with ingredients like onions, garlic, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and herbs like thyme or rosemary. Cornstarch or flour can be used as a thickening agent.
You could make an onion gravy with veggie stock and really caramelized onions. I'd add miso or nutritional yeast to add some savory flavour in with the sweet onions.
Or try this chickpea gravy recipe from ppk as a starting point. I've been making and tweaking it for years (see the comments about the lemon juice and texture). It's not like a smooth meat sauce gravy, but it is really tasty on potatoes.
