@@fnhs90 Wow. for someone who tastes pepper, you sure have a salty mouth and attitude. FYI, have always brushed and never smoked. I don't know what your life is like that you take potshots at total strangers, but I pity you for it. Any further trolling will be dismissed. Good luck with your life. Peace out.
Take the starting fresh weight and weigh it till the weight is 30% of the starting weight, i.e if it was 100 g originally, you are shooting for 30 g final
I love cauliflower & mushrooms and end up eating a bowlful of them before I can add them to my recipes!! I find the walnuts to still be too crunchy, but maybe it’s just my preference. I’m thinking of replacing walnuts with or doing half with toasted bread crumbs. Thank you for this video❤
My favourite thing about ChefSteps is that all the recopies are exact and precise and very repeatable. The Joule is a great companion to aid in that perfection. When it comes to using Breville equipment how do I know when the dehydration is perfectly done? You mentioned we wanted to get it to 35% hydration, how do I measure that without using my subjective interpretation of fudgy? Should we measure it by weight loss?
This channel is awesome, watched two videos so far (dirt cheap easy to make pizza oven) now this, I had wondered how to make meat but not meat as meat meat is just going to get more expensive! Oh don't worry you meat eaters I still love a huge steak every so often, but this will save us an absolute fortune! Now to figure out how to use the oven (will have to find the instructions manual, see how to dehydrate stuff without burning the house down 😂 Best medicine is laughter!
Hello friend! As expected, your vegan ground beef recipe looks delicious today!!! I'm always learning delicious recipes so well! I'll come back to see your video when it's uploaded! See you often! Have a nice day!
Cauliflower I’m assuming is added because it’s one of the few veggies that have low enough amounts of sugars in it, that you get Millard reaction / the same type of browning you get with meats, rather then just caramelisation of sugars. And I’m assuming the dehydration helps it get that Millard reaction faster, with the lower water content. If you give cauliflower a quick sear on high heat, rather than low and slow steaming or something, it really does get a quite meaty-like flavour, though really it’s just the flavour of Millard reaction. That yummy more-ish flavours that is delicious with a really well seared piece of meat. Cauliflower when cooked with certain cooking techniques, is among the few veggies where you can lots of Millard reaction going,
It’s shelf stable as they show it and all the components hold up well in the freezer. However, the dehydrating means it can pull moisture from inside the freezer which could include smells. I’d freeze it flat on a tray so it doesn’t clump, make sure it’s sealed airtight and proportioned out in your preferred sizes, and use it within a month or two so the walnut skins don’t get bitter.
i wouldnt want to keep it for more than 3 days, but im sure you can freeze it and you can certainly can it. in that case i would just add the walnuts later on, so they dont soak up too much liquid
Duxelles is mainly sautee mushroom only???? Nick also dehydrates the veggies so I guess that s gonna change the texture from usual duxelles. The large addtion of walnut also add more texture to it.
Option 1. Veggie replacement Cashew can 200g. 2 euro Mushroom 250g. 2-3 euro Cauliflower med. 1.5 euro (or more expensive depending on season) Waiting time, 3 hours in oven and other processes. Option 2. Meat Ground beef 2x 500g. 5-6 euro on sale. Simple week night ready to go. Option 3. Mushrooms, or meat replacement Ready to go after slicing I'm glad there is an alternative, but i might stick with ready made tempeh, seitan or other alternatives for home cooking. Cauliflower mushroom replacement meat costs too much time and energy from the oven for my tastes. Sorry. Looks delicious, though. Ever thought about selling it after it's already been through the de-hydrator?
A sign of the last days! 2 Timothy 4;3…..”Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.”
I'm sure this is delicious but here in Ohio, we pay a fortune for mushrooms and nuts. The amount he shows would cost us $50.00. Nut trees grow good here, mushrooms are a natural here but this is one expensive state and no way you could make this without putting out some serious money.
I feel guilty to eat some one life, i am 67 years old now and i still try not to eat some one meat and i try to eat vegan meat in stead, i don't know how many lives i ate in 67 years, so does some one feel like me in your mind? please i want to know some one feel like me to eat some one life, please reply back, i am very happy to hear that, how do you think when you eat meat? i was ate every meats from an elephant to termites in the world Warll (Viet Name war) so in 67 years i still feel guilty to eat some one lives that why i want to eat vegan meat, stop eat some one live.🙏🙏🙏.
Can I ask why all the plant food needs to mimic meat? Why call it ground beef? It's not ground beef and never will be. I want to know the main ingredient you use, that's how we name the food we eat.
It's called that because it's imitating ground beef. If you have trouble telling the difference, look for trigger words such as "vegan" "vegetarian" and "plant based" on the videos or packaging. Hope this helped!
"Vegan ground beef" is an oxymoron. If meat is so bad why are vegans always trying to replicate the appearence, taste and texture of meat? Are there not enough satisfying plant-based recepies? If meat is what you want, be aware that there is no substitute for the real thing.
Do vegans really want the food they eat to resemble meat? I thought the whole point of being vegan was to avoid any semblance of hurting, abusing, or denying animals their freedom. So why would vegans then want to simulate meat? Making food that looks like hot dogs, hamburgers, tacos etc out of non-meat products just seems kinda disingenuous or something. "Look, I'm eating something that looks like it was once an animal but isn't!" Kinda weird. I mean, we don't make meatloaf that resembles bananas, right? When I want a banana, I eat a BANANA. When I want meatloaf, I make MEATloaf that looks like meatloaf. C'mon. Ever seen an alcoholic drink a non-alcoholic beer and think "Geez, this guy really wants a beer!" Same thing.
Quite long (and pointless) comment which could have been avoided if you would have just Googled what veganism is about. It's about not exploiting animals. That's it. Taste, texture, smell, look, etc of (plant based) food is irrelevant. But yeah, I agree. Making foods like hot dogs, burgers, tacos, etc. from meat is disingenous. Why not eat meat as it is? Why do you have to shape your piece of flesh like cucumbers/carrots?
Hmm. I don't know if I would call this a "beef" imitation. I make a black bean beef substitute for my wife that she puts in tacos. I overcook them, put them in a pan with diced mushrooms, flour, oil and other stuff, use a potato masher for a few squishes then keep it moving on high heat until it kind of crumbles apart. You can season the beans to whatever you want as you do that too.
The closing line is key - vegan doesn't mean fake. Great recipe, thanks!
I've made a LOT of vegan ground beef and the absolute best is made from pecans, mushrooms and black olives. OMG is it delicious!!!
Woaw, where did you get the recipe please ?
That sounds very interesting. Please share a link/recipe!
Tried this. Used red cabbage and cashews instead. Best thing ever. New staple meat substitute. Thank you!
Good to see a mature comment section here...
Happy to see more plant-based recipes again!
He did say "strokin' off"
good to see no one is using the sous vide jokes
I think he's probably the only person you'll ever hear call cauliflower 'spicy'.
He's not. It has a peppery taste to it. If you can't taste that, stop smoking and brush your teeth and tongue more thoroughly
@@fnhs90 Wow. for someone who tastes pepper, you sure have a salty mouth and attitude. FYI, have always brushed and never smoked.

@@fnhs90 was it necessary to be such an ass?
@@fnhs90 Cauliflower is neither spicy nor peppery. If you think it it is maybe cut down on the crack. It’s sweet and nutty.
@@smoll.miniatures lmfao, I should cut down? Sounds like you're the one who can't taste any notes beyond the obvious
You know what... Happy to see Nick back. I loved him in older episodes.
I love how Nick keeps saying 30% moisture like we gonna have some way of knowing that when making this at home.
Take the starting fresh weight and weigh it till the weight is 30% of the starting weight, i.e if it was 100 g originally, you are shooting for 30 g final
Happy to see the OG chefsteps
Ay, bang willgoz

Soak or boils the way nuts to soften them
Did my boi just say cauliflower was spicy?? 😩
i eat a chunk and yes, it burn my nose xD

THANK you! So glad to see vegan options here
Finally... someone who works on texture! Thank you!
How long can this mix stay in the refrigerator before using?
Gonna give this a try, thanks, which is better, keeping in fridge or freezer?

Best medicine is laughter!
Does dehydration reduce the nutrients?
Wow, this is really fascinating. Worth a try
Can other mushrooms be used to make this?
Hello friend! As expected, your vegan ground beef recipe looks delicious today!!! I'm always learning delicious recipes so well! I'll come back to see your video when it's uploaded! See you often! Have a nice day!
Oooo…maybe I could use this for some empanada filling 🧐
thank you for making some vegan items!
What’s a good alternatives for the nuts if you’re allergic?
Hi where can i get this dehydrator oven ?
We need more of this content. Great stuff
what can you use instead of nuts?
America’s Test Kitchen did a Vegetarian chili using Walnuts and Mushrooms years ago and it works. Cauliflower? Will have to try that in the mix.
Cauliflower I’m assuming is added because it’s one of the few veggies that have low enough amounts of sugars in it, that you get Millard reaction / the same type of browning you get with meats, rather then just caramelisation of sugars.
And I’m assuming the dehydration helps it get that Millard reaction faster, with the lower water content.

That yummy more-ish flavours that is delicious with a really well seared piece of meat.
Cauliflower when cooked with certain cooking techniques, is among the few veggies where you can lots of Millard reaction going,
Might do this but simmer it in concentrated No-Beef bouillon... get some color in it and some traditional beef seasonings
that makes a lot, how would you preserve some of this for future use?
How long does a batch last?
Is this freezer friendly?
It’s shelf stable as they show it and all the components hold up well in the freezer. However, the dehydrating means it can pull moisture from inside the freezer which could include smells. I’d freeze it flat on a tray so it doesn’t clump, make sure it’s sealed airtight and proportioned out in your preferred sizes, and use it within a month or two so the walnut skins don’t get bitter.
Does this need to be refrigerated? How long does it last?
i wouldnt want to keep it for more than 3 days, but im sure you can freeze it and you can certainly can it. in that case i would just add the walnuts later on, so they dont soak up too much liquid
what type of oven is that? I see the brand name.
This sounds awesome, definitely going to have to give it a try!
Thanks for making this! I can't wait to try it out!
I was thinking that as a binder would a starch like kidney beans would work and they could help transition the mouth feel and enhance the umami?
Wow! Easy and flavorful 🥰 thank you so much for sharing! 🥰
thanks so much for this detailed and upbeat video !! i feel comfortable with this east recipe !
What in the white? Cauliflower is spicy?
Does it smell like beef for real? please explain how it taste like?
I watch this in the dawn,I'm hungry right now 🙂
Freaking finally! Yes chefsteps!!! Plant-based is the way to go, onward.
Thank you thank you
Very nice.
Nice! Im gonna use it for Shepherds pie!
I love all that you do!
This is genius! 😍
THANK YOU!!!!
I was expecting mushrooms to be one of the 3 ingredients but cauliflower and walnuts i was not, very interesting.
Love it guys keep up the good work :)
Yes please. More plant base options. Chefsteps style
now I know the reason some of my mixed nuts price has been going up :)
how is this different from a duxelles? (genuine question)
Duxelles is mainly sautee mushroom only???? Nick also dehydrates the veggies so I guess that s gonna change the texture from usual duxelles. The large addtion of walnut also add more texture to it.
What a great video to show up for national chili dog day. Just need the veggie dogs.

Cashew can 200g. 2 euro

Cauliflower med. 1.5 euro (or more expensive depending on season)
Waiting time, 3 hours in oven and other processes.
Option 2. Meat
Ground beef 2x 500g. 5-6 euro on sale.
Simple week night ready to go.
Option 3.
Mushrooms, or meat replacement
Ready to go after slicing
I'm glad there is an alternative, but i might stick with ready made tempeh, seitan or other alternatives for home cooking. Cauliflower mushroom replacement meat costs too much time and energy from the oven for my tastes. Sorry.

Are we sure Nick has had fudge before?

Did he just say cauliflower is spicy
I love your videos!
I swear I thought this was Tyler Oakley for a second 😅
Cheaper? With these electricity prices, 2h30m of oven use is going to make this the most expensive meat substitute on the market.
🌕
Definitely not cheaper then meat walnut are hella expensive where I live.
I want this recipe for tacos.
Anybody got a good nutritional analysis of this recipe?
From the ingredients it would be very healthy. Veggie cheese is another thing - as in toxic.
THANK YOU! PLEASE MORE VEGGIES :))))))

Cheapest meal in Ohio 💀
How many people said "barely an inconvenience" when he said "super easy?"
🤣🤣🤣
And non of that, non food type ingredients like methalcellulose. Yet that store bought Vmince is really tasty, especially the soy based.
Does this taste like meat????
Und dat soll schmecken?
❤❤❤👍
Did this man just say Cauliflower is spicy?
and is he calling ground meat "fudgy"?
When he said Pehkhans
Ah a ‘Breville - Basket Air Fry’ I’ll get a few of those. 👌

Waooooo 👌👌👌👌
So, im dating this vegetarian girl, i wanted to make some ramen for her.
Has anyone tried this replacements with ramen or soup?
I'd do a more sliceable wheat meat/seitan for the protein, unless you're making tantanmen, which uses mince.
More Plant based!!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
more vegan pls :)))
ditto on more plant based/vegan recipes
Cauliflowers apparently have a “spicy texture”. Reach for the stars bruh
have you ever ate cauliflower raw?
👍👍👍👍

I've never understood why vegans want the meat taste and texture, you clearly like meat
Don't like the animal to suffer that's all so an alternative is plant based .similar recipes without inflicting pain and suffering
Vegan beef 😁😆😂
This dude seriously thinks that every oven is the same. Also cauliflower spicy? Yes indeed...
That Is why I don't make vegan food. You need all those different machines.
"Vegan ground beef" is an oxymoron.

If meat is what you want, be aware that there is no substitute for the real thing.
If its not meat then dont call it vegan beef there is no logic

The only thing that replaces meat, is more meat.
