REALLY GOOD VEGETARIAN MEATLOAF (REALLY!)
High in fiber and protein, low in fat, easy and really yummy! I've always thought meatloaf looks and smells so delicious and savory so, as a vegetarian, I decided to make a no-meat version! This is basically our favorite meatloaf recipe but with cooked mashed lentils instead of ground meat. The result is a very tasty dinner!

VEGETARIAN MEATLOAF THAT TASTES LIKE MEATLOAF!
My co-worker made one of these, and I was lucky enough to be able to buy it in an auction. YUMMY! The texture was perfect, and there was no grease, unlike in a traditional meatloaf. I highly recommend it. He got the recipe from a BOCA Ground Crumbles package.

THE BEST VEGETARIAN AND VEGAN MEAT SUBSTITUTES TO TRY
From thespruceeats.com
Author Jolinda HackettPublished 2013-01-01
- Tofurky Vegetarian Deli Slices. If you miss cold cuts or hot deli sandwiches as a vegetarian, make the refrigerator section of your health food store your first stop in your quest for vegetarian meat substitutes.
- Morningstar Farms Brand Sausage Patties With Maple Syrup. Sure the original flavor of Morningstar brand's sausage patties are pretty tasty too, but the addition of maple syrup adds that certain "je ne sais quoi" of flavor to these chewy vegetarian sausage patties.
- Gardein. A relative newcomer to the vegetarian meat substitute game, Gardein has become hugely popular fairly quickly, thanks in part to backing by celebrity vegan chef Tal Ronnen (also known as the guy that cooked for Oprah when she went vegan), who uses this meat substitute exclusively.
- Quorn Brand Chicken Nuggets. Yum, yum yum. There's not too much else that needs to be said about these vegetarian chicken patties. Quorn brand vegetarian meats have a secret ingredient (ok, it's a fermented mushroom, and it's not all that secret) that give them a super chewy texture that closely resembles chicken meat in particular.
- Homemade Mock Meat Substitutes (Seitan) If you want to experiment making your own vegetarian mock meat substitutes (seitan) at home, this is the place to start.
- Tofu. If you're looking for simple and cheap vegetarian meat substitutes, tofu is going to be at the top of your list. You'll want to make sure it's well-pressed and may want to freeze it and thaw it first before marinating it in plenty of flavors.
- May Wah "Chicken Leg" Drumsticks. Many Chinese restaurants and vegetarian restaurants already know one of the best secrets to the perfect vegetarian drumstick: It's May Wah brand vegetarian chicken meat.

- Chop up a small onion very fine (you can use a food processor to mince it) and saute the onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat for 5 minutes.
- While the onion is cooking, wash and chop 8 oz. of mushrooms into tiny pieces. (I toss mine into a food processor to get them very small.) Add the mushrooms to the skillet once the onions become translucent.
- Sprinkle the onions and mushrooms with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms release their juices and become soft.
- Add 1 cup of water, 2 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder and stir well.

- Start your mushrooms sauteing first since they take the longest to cook down. I preheat a large nonstick pan over my burner for a few minutes and then dump in the mushrooms and spread them out. They’ll release their own liquid, so no need to add water or oil.
- While the mushrooms are cooking down, you can work on rehydrating your TVP. Add the TVP to a bowl and cover it just barely with vegetable broth. I like to press the mixture down while adding the broth, that way it soaks up all the broth and I don’t have to drain it (lazy method).
- Once the mushrooms have released their liquid and the TVP has absorbed the broth, it’s time to combine them. Make sure to drain any remaining broth from the TVP first. Then add it into the pot and stir well.
- Next you can add the soy sauce and spices. Now would be the time to add any other spices depending on what you’re making with it. For example, for nachos I’d add cumin, paprika, coriander, and chipotle powder.
5 TIPS TO MAKE MEATLESS FOOD TASTE MEATY - ONE GREEN PLANET
From onegreenplanet.org
- The Usual Meaty Suspects. Whenever I start to write a recipe to recreate an old favorite meaty dish, I think about the texture I am trying to simulate.
- Meaty Vegetables. Source: Walnut Portobello Meatball Sub. Advertisement. As well as tofu, tempeh, and seitan work, sometimes I want to stick with vegetables for my meaty dishes.
- Seasoning Blends. Source: Homemade Cajun Seasoning. After texture, seasoning is the recipe component that makes meat taste so good. After all, no one just eats plain meat without seasoning it, so why wouldn’t you do the same to vegetables?
- Flavorful Broths. Source: Mushroom Vegetable Broth. Have you ever watched a cooking show on TV where the chef is showing you how to make a scrumptious vegetarian or vegan meal only to watch them pour chicken broth in the pot?
- Other Ingredients. Source: BBQ Seitan Ribs With Homemade Barbecue Sauce. My personal “must-have” ingredient when I’m making meaty vegan dishes is vegan Worcestershire sauce.
BEST FAKE MEAT & VEGETARIAN SUBSTITUTES, RANKED - THRILLIST
From thrillist.com
- Quorn Meatless Chik'n Patties. Of all the meat-substitute products out there, the British company Quorn (what, you thought they'd be from Nebraska?) has done the best at nailing the flavor and texture of the food it's emulating -- a rare fake meat that can actually stand tall next to the real thing.
- Impossible Foods Impossible Burger. Impossible Foods is one of Beyond Meat's largest competitors, but they're both after the same mission: make meaty tasting stuff crafted from plant proteins and save the planet.
- Daring Foods Chicken. Plant-based beef is miles ahead of other proteins. They've pinned down that meaty recipe, have created "blood" from plant proteins, and even add that signature, smoky flavor that's typical in charbroiled burgers.
- Boca Original Vegan Veggie Burgers. There's something weirdly endearing about this weirdly enduring OG of the fake-burger game. No, a Boca burger doesn't really taste like a burger, but its chewiness, crusty exterior, and blast of salt make it stand out, and without the dryness that plagues so many fake meats.
- Gardein Golden Fishless Filets. Okay, I was terrified of this product from Gardein, purveyors as such unexpected things as beefless tips, meatless meatloaf, and sweet & sour "porkless bites."
- Beyond Meat Beyond Burger. Unlike the Boca Burger (see No. 2), this thing gets points for being a little extra burger-y, on account of Beyond Meat's scientific approach to producing burgers that "bleed."
- Whole Foods 365 Meatless Meatballs. The texture of these oxymoronic orbs is very dense and dry, with none of the spring or juice that defines great meatballs.
- MorningStar Farms Veggie Bacon Strips. Billed as "smoked veggie bacon with a crispy bite," these strips taste closer to the real deal than other similar products, thanks to its smokiness and saltiness.
- Amy's Veggie Sausage. These meatless breakfast items look like the weird stick Yoda eats in The Empire Strikes Back, but the flavor here is surprisingly robust.
- El Burrito Soyrizo. So, the tube makes this product, helpfully subtitled "meatless soy chorizo," look more like sausage than it really is. The casing, you see, is plastic, and the meat gets squeezed out of it like spicy toothpaste, then drops into the pan like a goopy mass of semi-coagulated meat jelly.
12 BEST VEGETARIAN MEAT SUBSTITUTES - VEGAN MEAT OPTIONS
From womenshealthmag.com
- Pea Protein. Why it's great: It’s tough to mimic the texture and mouthfeel of ground beef, but pea protein isolate or textured pea protein nails it pretty well.
- Tempeh. Why it's great: “One of my favorite vegetarian meat options,” says Amy Shapiro, R.D., founder of Real Nutrition. Not to be confused with tofu, tempeh is made of fermented soybeans.
- Seitan. Why it's great: This meat alternative made from wheat gluten acts as the star of many Buddha bowls—and thanks to its dense texture, it’s eerily similar to duck, but works well sliced in sandwiches or topped on pizza.
- Jackfruit. Why it's great: Jackfruit mimics the texture of pulled pork. The India-native fruit has a slightly sweet flavor, but if you braise it in the right savory sauces, you’ll hardly be able to tell the difference.
- Tofu. Why it's great: Tofu is made from congealed soy milk, Shapiro says. It’s the chameleon of vegan meat substitutes, picking up virtually any flavor.
- Lentils. Why it's great: “Lentils are natural foods, rich in fiber, protein, and potassium,” says George. Lentils are also pretty much the most unprocessed forms of plant protein you can find.
- Black Beans. Why it's great: Like lentils, black beans are unprocessed and very high in plant protein. “This in addition to their carbs, fiber, and antioxidants make black beans nutritional powerhouses,” says George.
- Chickpeas. Why it's great: Did you know that if you combine chickpeas and brown rice, you get a complete protein because you’ll be getting all nine amino acids?
- Plant-Based Sausages. Why it's great: “I think it's cool that companies are making more mock meats and isolates to decrease meat consumption,” says George.
- Plant-Based Chicken. Why it's great: “It really depends on the brand, but most plant-based chickens are made with soy or pea protein, making them very high in protein,” says George.
