I love your cooking. However, I've tried a very similar recipe twice, but the final results had a crunch because the walnuts were not soaked to softness. I tried it a 3rd time, soaked the walnuts and bingo, soft ground. 😊
I tried this recipe today- Mother’s Day Dinner and it came out great. I substituted sunflower seeds for the walnuts. Served it up with roasted turnips, beets and sweet potatoes. Delicious. Your recipes are giving me the encouragement to go full vegan. Thank you for simple, easy to follow instructions and delicious foods.
Thank you. I always need a tree nut substitute due to allergies and I'm just dipping into changing my eating so I didn't know what to use. Appreciate this!!!
Javant, I want to really thank you for typing out all the detailed instructions, I know that's quite a task. Your video demos and written instructions are so incredible and kind. Thank you for being a bright shining light in the WFPB movement. I wish you a healthy happy life, filled with so much positivity and blessings.
I LOVE this message! No one had ever expressed so much gratitude specifically for the labor of writing out the detailed recipes. You are so spot on regarding the time commitment and effort it requires. Thank you so much for appreciating!! 🙏🏾
@@healthyveganeating I don't know anyone else in real life who is nutritarian like me, and in fact my family teases me about it. I get a lot of support from watching YT, so many thanks for what you are doing.
I have just about quit watching cooking vids because the recipes are no longer being posted with the vid. Thank you Javant. Your cooking is incredible and we can still get the recipe without going through an act of Congress which, in my opinion, isn't worth the hassle. God bless you and keep up the good work.
I am 74 and been an omnivore my entire life. My daughter is a vegan and in the last few years I have added more plant based meals, days, weeks to my eating plan. My biggest problem was weird ( to me ) ingredients and lack of flavour. I made this today and even ad I was prepping the Spice list gave me good sense that this would be tasty. And.. it is ! Can hardly wait to use it for Mexican dishes and a company Shepherd's pie. Unfortunately I can't upload a photo here, but it looks so much like cooked ground meat and give a nice mouth feel. I am so glad I found you channel, via Reels on FB. Thank you !!
I LOVE this message!! It makes me really happy when people experience a breakthrough using one of my recipes. I glad that you were willing to give it a try, and even happier that you enjoyed it. It's my most popular recipe, and I have received countless messages of appreciation for it. Thank you for taking time to share this, I really appreciate it!!!
This is the real challenge for folks just moving into plant-based eating. How do you.replace the old familiar dishes that we are so accustomed. Getting over that hump is key and so much that you are sharing helps move us to that place. Thanks for all that you do!
I can't wait to try this recipe. I don't like the beyond style veggie/fake meats. Anyway I would like to know if you can freeze this and if it warms up good.
I made this today for tacos. Everyone loved it. My youngest son asked for another plate and he’s the pickiest eater ever. He hate mushrooms and didn’t even know it was in the recipe. Thanks so much for sharing. Tomorrow I’ll try burgers ☺️
Watched you make this on Chef AJ and had to try it. It's the very best version of veggie ground I've tried and far surpasses the commercial brands. Thanks for sharing.
Tried this recipe last night and was very impressed. You wouldn't know it had any meat at all. I followed the recipe as close as possible and added a few of my own seasonings. Also, I soaked my walnuts the night before to soften then up. Highly recommend and will definitely be a part of my cooking moving forward.
I made this Monday for my son and I this week! I didn't have a food processor, so I cut everything up. It was delicious! I'm glad you told us about the water. I would've been discouraged. We made tortillas! I picked up a food processor yesterday to make your carrot cake! It was delicious! I never thought that I'd be one of those people who love the cooking channels! Now, I love finding plant based channels! Yours is one of my favorites!! Thank you! I love your channel!
I DON'T OWN A FOOD PROCESSOR, AND I am not sure which one to purchase. I would appreciate one made in America, Japan, Korea, or Germany. I know I am asking a lot.
Let me tell you something, sir. I'm not even religious, but I declare you are doing the Lord's work! I just made this, and it is A-MAY-ZING. I made it in preparation for your meatball gyro recipe, and I had to MAKE myself stop eating it so I can have some left for the gyros. It's THAT good.I am approaching vegan life as a complete newbie. I had been looking for recipes and came across your channel. SUBSCRIBED without hesitation! Oh, and yes, I followed the advice of some of the other commenters, and soaked the walnuts first (I soaked them overnight). Also, I made a small error in technique. I added everything to the pan at the same time, including the walnut mixture. I forgot it was supposed to be added later in the process. Turned out perfectly anyway. Actually, I think it's easier getting everything mixed together doing it that way. Looking forward to making those gyros and other vegan masterpieces!
I can’t believe I just now came across your channel! It has been so challenging finding truly HEALTH promoting, whole food plant based recipes that are actually delicious and bring that FLAVOR! Typically it’s either fairly unhealthy (although tasty) or nasty bland recipes out here. You will be my absolute go to and thank you so much for sharing!
I stop eating meat and transitioned to eating plant-based foods. I must admit, when I stop eating meat, my body went through withdrawals and I become sick--after a few weeks of just eating plant-based foods, I started to see a difference in my body and skin.
I think that’s a major issue that people do not discuss enough! The transition should be done gradually. In my personal experiences it gives the body time to adjust and also gives you time to learn about a completely new diet to make sure you’re getting the right nutrients!
I chose plant based diet because I was already sick and I also got worse, much worse, during the detox period but then I got whole lot better. I wouldn’t any other way. Instead of gradually adjusting for months and years and still be sick, I suffered for a few months and then gained my life back.
If you sick you must drink herbs teasuch as rosemary , basil, fennel , thyme, oregano, parsley, coriander and mint all in powder forms , just add every these in one spoon into a teapot add ginger a bit, drink it 4 times a day as a tea, good lucks all the best
I just tried this recipe. It was fun and easy to make. Definitely better than fake vegan meats that I've tried in the past. Thank you very much for sharing and being such an inspiration 🙏🏾
Does this freeze well? This looks a lot for one person. How many servings does this recipe make? Where would you consider a good resource for the mushrooms? Thank you....thinking of going plant-based
OK I made the recipe and it is a keeper. I soaked the walnuts as suggested. To get the best consistency and texture I highly recommend using a food processor or Cuisinart. It’s hard to describe the taste of all the flavors but they blended together nicely. The texture is consistent with ground beef and at first take it kind of looks like ground beef. I was making tacos and was tempted to put shredded cheese on it but said nah, that defeats my purpose so I just ate it plain on corn tortillas. It had cooled down and I thought it needed to be heated up but that wasn’t the case. Tasted fine slightly warm. Because the taste is versatile I can see using it in a variety of dishes.
This is a keeper. There is so much room to play with this...customizing the spices to make it more chilli or taco flavoured...adding salsa, buffalo sauce, mashed beans.....Love that the base is so healthy and nourrishing. Thank you!! Worked awesome in a tortilla with a little vegan cheese and salsa verde!
You are right. Beans would probably thicking it up more. I can then just make some oatmeal tortilla wraps I saw online and just eat it like a borito; since I saw a recipe with some organic vegan cheese.
Thank you so much! I made your Veggie Ground and used it to make your No-Beef Patties. It was absolutely delicious! As a plant based eater for three years, I was getting discouraged. I missed the foods I used to love and my cooking is very dull. I don’t know what seasonings work well together. Although I only eat foods with clean ingredients, I couldn’t separate myself from using olive, avocado and coconut oil. I thank God He directed me to your channel. As a subscriber I look forward to watching your videos and making your dishes. I now ceased using all oils. Thank you for caring about our health and showing us that plant base eating is exciting. I greatly appreciate what you do!
This is such a beautiful message ... the type that give me such a sense of purpose regarding sharing my recipes. So, thank YOU so much for taking time to share this!!!
If only all cooking videos were this good. It’s not easy for vegans/vegetarians to find good recipes for meat alternatives. I’m really glad I found your channel. Liked and subscribed, with thanks from across the pond ❤️🇬🇧
you're such an excellent cook and teacher and you're so generous sharing your knowledge, and I know comes from such a sincere caring place so thanks and gratitude!
I've been plant based for 12 years and have tried many different "meat" replacement recipes as well as buying store products which usually have way too much oil added to them. I just tried your recipe last night and I'm so pleased with the results. Not only does it have ingredients that I can feel good about, but the texture and flavor are great. The final test was if my husband would eat it....and he loved it. In fact he's in the kitchen making himself a burrito out of it right now. Thank you so much! I just got a mushroom growing kit, so I'm excited to try your "mushroom wings" next.
I made this for the first time this week. My cauliflower was a bit small do i added broccoli. Soaked the walnuts, as others suggested. Smells and tastes amazing. Thank you
I made this today and all I can say is WOW! I soaked my walnuts overnight and used 6 cups of frozen cauliflower rice to replace the fresh cauliflower. It was delicious!!! It does make a lot so hopefully it freezes well. Thank you so much for this awesome recipe!!
I always like watching these types of videos. I'm still learning different ways to cook. I've been cooking and eating vegan foods and snacks for around 6 years now. Cooking plant based from mother nature has never let me down. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe.
I make this every other week now. I bought square soup molds for the freezer and freeze them in packages. Just like you get in the grocery store. Tried it on my husband on his nachos, he asked me why the meat tasted so good. I have used this as a substitute for all his favorites, and he continues to love it. Moved on so many of your other recipes today I am making the hamburger buns.🥰🎉
Thank you to Chef Aj for having you on her show, I saw you and decided to try it. I love this, I made it recently for my son's birthday. I prepared a taco bar for our family and friends, and everyone absolutely loved it. They were shocked that vegetables could taste so good. It is helping me to transition into becoming vegan, I am currently vegetarian.
I so appreciate that this does not have beans in it. As a vegetarian for the past 8 months i love beans but sometimes I want a different flavor. Love all these ingredients ♥️
@@heidibrummett3499 You want more protein? You need to incorporate maybe some into your side dishes than. For instance if you are having tacos you can make beans and rice as your side for more protein, if you are making Lasagna or spaghetti you can make a salad with spinach and chick peas to serve on the side( both have protein) , burgers serve with veggies and hummus , get creative, you can figure it out. 😊
@@SusieLybarger I've always found that freezer bags let in too much "freezer bite" and ice, so I use glass pint-size canning jars. I guess it depends on how long you're going to store the food item.
Made this recipe with a few adjustments such as swapping out the cauliflower for red cabbage, and I must say I absolutely loved the outcome. I would definitely encourage others to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing
I really can't take the time to comment under all your videos, but you're such a huge inspiration to me. I am excited to make these meals with my kids. With each and every video I watch, I become even more impressed by you. I freaking love your catchphrase. I can even feel your good energy from beyond the screen. I wish I had more people to share you with! You're really changing the world with your creative genius and passion for health.
This is a beautiful message, and I can feel your kind, appreciative energy through the screen. I hope you continue to enjoy the recipes. I have lots of good ones coming, and please don't hesitate to make a request, if there is something you would like me to make.

It will have even more recipes than I have here, and you can search for dishes by name and category ( breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, etc.) Here is the link to check it out : hveating.com Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean the world to me!
I prepared this last night and it’s pretty good. I have been consuming beyond meat products since going plant base in 2016 and knew it wasn’t healthy but it was good. I recently in the last month stopped consuming it and was looking for a healthier alternatives when I came across your IG page. Thanks for sharing your recipes ❤
You are a life saver seriously! Recently found out I was coeliac, and I was already vegetarian, and decided to ditch dairy along with gluten. Your recipes are saving me, I had no idea where to start. Thank you so much.
This is SOOOO much better than the “Impossible” & “Beyond” crap I was eating. Idk wtf is in that stuff. You made this foolproof (& you’re gorgeous-so that helps 😂) ❤
Brother you are the truth. I’ve been following you on Instagram and tried several of your recipes and they are all on point. Gratitude to you and the Universe for letting me find you on UA-cam
Thank you soooo much. I’ve made it for the last year and so, and it’s DELICIOUS. It’s working out lovely for us, and as you said it’s can be very diverse. Bless you.🫶🙏💕
I’m so happy to have found this. I’m only 2.5 months in on eating plant based so I am constantly looking for recipes. I tried your carrot cake last weekend and everyone was surprised at how delicious it was. So I’m excited to try this!
I’ve made something similar but this looks even better. My husband loves the meat substitutes but I don’t because I just prefer legumes and whole foods so this seems like a great compromise and the fact that we can freeze it too is just the icing on the cake. THANK YOU!!!
I wanted to make this recipe months ago, but my food processor quit on me. Once I got my new processor, this was the first thing that I made. The veggie ground tastes even better the next day once all the spices have had to chance to settle. I threw it on some vegan mac and cheese and the taste is fantastic. My wife loves it. I'm not a vegan, but I am striving to get more plants into my diet. Thank you so much for sharing. It was definitely worth the wait.
I made my first batch of veggie ground today. Absolutely delicious. You can definitely taste the difference between impossible meat and this. Thank you for sharing your recipe 😊
New follower/fan. Made this last night and it is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! I kept testing it as it cooked and I was worried that the spices were too much for me and I might need to cut them back in the future. But when you mix in the tomato paste and walnuts: MAGIC! I love it! I made tacos with it last night and again for breakfast this morning, it's that good. I've got so many ideas...Thank you for your great instructions and demos. No wonder it's getting noticed!
I just made my first batch also. Half is for tacos tonight, and the other half I seasoned up for breakfast sausage to go with some oat waffles. I make a fake queso out of cashews that fooled my teenage son.
I love this message!! The veggie ground is so versatile and the recipe makes a lot, so you are able to create lots of dishes with one batch. Glad you are enjoying it! Thanks so much for watching, appreciating, and subscribing!!
On a low FODMAP diet so I substituted: broccoli heads for cauliflower, leek tops for onions,didn’t have oyster mushrooms(can’t have the other ones) so I omitted the mushroom, added a little vegan Worcestershire sauce, and low FODMAP stock cube to replace the garlic. Still good!
Keep up the good work, he is helping us save our lives, our toxic fast food culture is the #1 cause of chronic disease and suffering. How ironic insurance companies pay fortunes for drugs and procedures, but no one will spend a penny on prevention and education on nutrition... not even the medical schools that train doctors, so even they are clueless! In a world where profit rules, sickness is big business, so the only profit in good health is our own!
Love love love what your sharing, your recipes are on point! I started living in a Vegan community in Peru for 3 months, healed my fatty liver, drpped 40 pounds. Upon returning to Canada, I started eating junk vegan, I was lazy and oh my body did not appreciate it. I feel better eating clean again, thank you :)
Oh man this is fabulous so much Umami flavors! Made it for taco Tuesday, added red curry paste in place of tomato paste, 2 jalapeno chopped and 2tbls of taco seasoning, cilantro with lime juice. I am not missing any meat in this at all. Great job with the recipe man! ❤❤
👍👍👍👍👍 1,000 thumbs up on your veggie meat substitute🎉🎉🎉 I made it today. It turned out perfectly and it’s so delicious. I will never miss meat again. Thank you so much for this dish plus I have a wedding to go to next month and I’m trying to slim down to look extra good because my ex is going to be there lol. Thank you.😊
We are not vegan but are trying to bring more vegan (WFPB) into our diet because the health benefits. I have tried so many meat substitutes and they are always off putting to me. This was perfect and yes The Best! Next is your sausage recipe. This will be our go to moving forward. I am so glad I found your page.
I just made some, but I could only find a small head of cauliflower, at the second store I went to, so I cut the recipe in half. Smell delicious and a sample taste so GOOD. I'm going to try it with tacos. Thanks once again.
This recipe is absolutely divine. Thank you so much for coming up with it. I have been trying to incorporate more vegetables into my diet and this absolutely fills the bill. I even mistakenly added the walnut paste at the same time as the vegetables were cooking. Whoops! 🤦🏻♀️. Wasn’t paying attention to the recipe instructions but it still turned out just fine. Will do it right next time. Can’t wait to try your carrot cake recipe next. 🤗. PS: I soaked the walnuts overnight as suggested by one of the other comments
I have made this several times and love the texture that the unsoaked walnuts give the veggie ground, especially in a burger or spaghetti sauce. I would say adjust according to your taste. He’s done the groundwork for us.
This is my 4th time making your fabulous veggie ground! This time I subbed sunflower seeds for the walnuts and added some (green) lentils. I can’t mess it up! Still tastes great! Thank you again, Jayant, for this recipe!
I just finished making mine! I soak my walnuts. I was afraid it was not going to taste good because people take the make things and say it good and I throw it in is good and you the garbage. Mine is good. I not add salt and will salt may I mixture to can be careful of the salt but I can salt it to my finished dishes. Thank you sir for taking up the time to make this just us.
I made this dish rather late. It's an acquired taste to me. It had a great flavor to it. I'm sure I'll start loving it soon. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I'm going to make one of those desserts soon enough.
Javant, I did it. At first I thought this recipe was too much me, but I got all the ingredients and got work. This veggie ground meat substitute is the MAC DADDY. My family was skeptical at first but they tasted it and went crazy. I then made the vegan breakfast sausage and that was spot on. Delicious and healthy. TWO THMBS UP!!!
Love this message!!! These are the type of messages that inspire me to post lots more recipes. So glad that you and the fam like it! Please try more recipes and let me know what you guys think! Thank you for appreciating my efforts!
I love all your recipes. I just became a vegan and it’s been a challenge figuring out how to eat. You make eating fun again with all your meal ideas. Thanks
I'm so eager to try my hand at vegan cooking. After having a healthy eating class after church this afternoon. It was a seventh day Adventists church. Every Saturday they have vegan lunch. Yummy. So today I made a stir fry all veggies with cumin, rosemary, Himalayan salt cyane pepper. Very light touch of olive oil. Thanks so much for all your help. Teaching me how to cook delicious plant based food. God bless you in all your endeavors. Love sister Ellie in Florida
@@eleanorarman6888 God bless you sister Ellie! That’s exciting to hear! Best of luck to you on your plant-based cooking journey. It’s a big passion of mine & I love to hear people as yourself who are eager to try it out. 💕
I made this this morning before work and in my rush I didn’t hold the walnuts out to add in later, rather I mixed them in with the veggies. STILL in love with this recipe. It is LIFESAVING frfr!
Made my second batch today and it came out just as good as the first! I always follow you TO THE LETTER and it's amazing! So, now I'm going to start making other stuff with it. I saw your meatballs and I am definitely going to try that. Just checkin' in! Keep the good stuff coming!💖💖💖💖💖
I did not realise you are on UA-cam as been following your recipes for a few months now. Though not vegan more vegetarian and occasionally pescatarian- I love your recipes and have attempted a few. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing healthy alternatives with us.
Where can I find the exact spices and seasonings? Or is it a secret? I can’t believe I just found your channel, you’re doing amazing work over here! Thanks for sharing with us 💜🙏🏼
@@catsieja5862 Hello Cat, Thank you for the enthusiasm for my channel! 🙂 The full recipe with all measurements are under the video. Just tap on the word MORE and you’ll see the top of the recipe list. Tap again, and you’ll see the entire recipe 👌🏾
I love this man. I just finished making this without a food processor; I instead used my Ninja Auto IQ smoothie machine. I needed to do batches of veggies. It tastes so fresh. I will add Worcestershire for burgers, taco seasoning for tacos and more Italian for meatballs and meatloaf at the time when I cook each. I made three pounds at a total cost of $13.00. The same amount of unhealthy beef would have cost me over $20.00. I just made tacos by adding water and taco seasoning and wanted to update. It tasted great! Also, that price is deceiving because one pound of this veggie ground makes at least twice as much as one pound of beef would. Winner. I used my 12" cast iron skillet in two batches then threw it all in my large enameled cast iron pot with lid on to sit for 20 minutes to marinade. Wonderful recipe!
Thanks for the taco idea. I will surely try it! I also don't have a food processor that is full size, so I made it with my little mini food processor and it took awhile, but it was well worth it! And I soaked my walnuts, too. I have been getting lots of fresh zucchini and spaghetti squash from my garden and I have been serving it with the veggie ground and drizzling it with a bit of hemp/cashew cream and it's been so good!
The thing I love most about your videos is that you include the written recipe. That’s so much easier than having to keep pausing to write things down. Or, in some videos, GUESS what they are putting in.
I can stop eating this from the pan!!! It is absolutely, positively, beyond a shadow of a doubt delicious!!!! And I honestly didn’t think that it would! I figured that I would have to do what I always do…. to make new recipes palatable! And to be honest I didn’t change a thing in this recipe, but rather made a substitution. I’m trying to cut back on my salt so In savory dishes so I use mushroom powder. It adds Unami to any savory dish! This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thank you soo much!!!
I made this today, and wow it was amazing, tricked my friend into trying it, and she didn't realise at all, only thing I would do differently next time, is leave out cumin, I don't like the smell of it, but that's my choice, you don't really taste it in cooking, also you do get the occasional crunch from walnuts but I didn't mind that, I knew it wasn't real meat, so didn't bother me, I made a spaghetti bolognaise, and it tasted exactly the same as if I made it with meat, it is a big batch, so rolled up some meatballs, and separate containers, for more spaghetti bol, and chilli concarne, so all good, thank you
OMG this recipe is delicious! I omitted the walnuts in mine, but kept the rest of ingredients. So far I have used it for spagetti bolognaise, lasagne and chilli with rice and over tortillas. Cannot get enough! It tastes just like beef mince and bonus keeps well in the fridge for 5 days. in original form. I added extra ingredients when cooking my final meal. Thank you 😁
Loving your channel! I've been a vegan for 50 years & I've learned to be a pretty good cook over the years. Your recipes are delicious & easy to make. I also love your easy to follow instructions & video quality is excellent. Thanks for sharing your gift.
I just made this. Your spice mixture is fantastic and gives it a beefy ground meat flavor. I ate some raw since that is usually what I prefer. Delicious as is. However, tomorrow I will cook some to see the difference. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes.
I freeze mine into portions. I made a tomato based veg soup (V8 juice)…day 3 I added yr veggie ground round to it and it became a delicious stew! Thanks again for this amazing recipe.
I have been vegan mostly whole food for 9 years. I was in such a hurry last night to make this for the first time that I mistakenly mixed the walnut/tomato paste mix as the the veggies were cooking. When I first tasted it, my brain said, well this just tastes like a mixture of veggies. Good but not really different. Then, I kept putting spoonfuls in my mouth and couldn't stop. LOL. I made stuffed bell peppers with it and now I'm hooked. Thank you so much for this recipe! And shame on my brain judging before my taste buds could really vote!
I totally get it. I have been guilty of prejudging recipes in the past. So glad you kept trying it, and eventually came around. Thanks for the comment, I love a story with a happy ending!!
AWESOME MY BROTHER, Right on time because i just Started my Healthy eating Journey, And your recipes will take me all the way on my Journey, WOW, amazing, TO GOD BE THE GLORY, This is Definitely pleasing in the Eye's of the LORD to Help your Brothers and Sisters get healthy and Stay healthy, Thank you so much for answer to my Prayers ,🙏🏿🙌🏿❤ HALLELUJAH, Stay BLESSED, AMEN 🙏🏿
Thank you Keith! I love that you feel positive about being able to transition to a healthier diet, and stay consistent. It makes me feel good to know that my recipes will help you!! Thanks for the message, and please keep me updated here and there about how you are doing.
This is so awesome! Thanks! My first attempt yielded about 3 pound of ground. I used the first pound in a vegan version of a dirty rice today. I plan to use another pound in stuffed peppers later. The third pound is patiently waiting in my freezer, possibly for lasagna. This recipe is gold!
I made this recipe today and added a few extra spices and it turned out great! This veggie ground is so much healthier than some of the vegan processed “meats’. Thank you Javant!!😊
That looks so good!!! I'm not vegan but my body demands vegan and veggie dishes! I'll be trying this recipe soon. I've made vegan spaghetti and as much as I love it, it's time to try something new. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Javant, thank you so much for this recipe. It's definitely a keeper. Made this for myself and my husband. We're both vegetarians. He said this was the best meat substitute he's tasted. I agree and it's so versatile. It made so much that I was able to freeze leftovers and use it for other meals. Thank you!
Just tried recipe for first time. Mine was a. Little too crunchy also. I put part of the mixture back in food processor and pulsed a little longer in ordet to get desired texture. I will soak the walnuts next time as someone suggested. However; love love this recipe. This is my all time favorite "not burger" recipe!! Can't wait to try it sgain! Thank you soooo much 😁😁!
I tried this recipe. I don't have a food processor so I used a grater and got the same results. It came together well, but I didn't like the spice blend until I doctored it a bit. Thanks for being you. You rock.
I'm new to the vegan/plant based community. Finding ideas and recipes that will be enjoyed by myself and my reluctant family can pose a challenge. I made this recipe today. The flavors and texture were outstanding. I used this to make vegetarian burritos, and they were delicious. Thank you so much for your channel, I've watched a ton of your videos, and I'm ready to prepare meals with confidence 😊
I love your cooking. However, I've tried a very similar recipe twice, but the final results had a crunch because the walnuts were not soaked to softness. I tried it a 3rd time, soaked the walnuts and bingo, soft ground. 😊
Nice tip thanks
How long did you soak the walnuts until softness?
@@zandrapope3899 i soak mine overnight
@@wlovelex it's also better for your digestion when you soak nuts, seeds and pulses.
How long did you soak them ?
I tried this recipe today- Mother’s Day Dinner and it came out great. I substituted sunflower seeds for the walnuts. Served it up with roasted turnips, beets and sweet potatoes. Delicious. Your recipes are giving me the encouragement to go full vegan. Thank you for simple, easy to follow instructions and delicious foods.
Wow, I like how you personalized it! Could you cook for me, please 🙂
Thank you. I always need a tree nut substitute due to allergies and I'm just dipping into changing my eating so I didn't know what to use. Appreciate this!!!

I made this today for tacos. Everyone loved it. My youngest son asked for another plate and he’s the pickiest eater ever. He hate mushrooms and didn’t even know it was in the recipe. Thanks so much for sharing. Tomorrow I’ll try burgers ☺️
Love it! Thank you for sharing your feedback. So glad you all enjoyed it, especially your youngest :)
@@healthyveganeating what kind of food processor (cup size)do you I need to make this?
This looks delicious 😋 yum..❤thank you for the recipe 😊
Tacos were definitely something I was missing since giving up meat! My partner and kids still eat meat. Glad to hear you're kids enjoyed it!
Watched you make this on Chef AJ and had to try it. It's the very best version of veggie ground I've tried and far surpasses the commercial brands. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Newly vegan here. My husband, who is the pickiest grown man ever, and I both LOVED this!!! Thank you so much!
Love it! You' so welcome!
Tried this recipe last night and was very impressed. You wouldn't know it had any meat at all. I followed the recipe as close as possible and added a few of my own seasonings. Also, I soaked my walnuts the night before to soften then up. Highly recommend and will definitely be a part of my cooking moving forward.
Nice!
My wife made this today. We love it. Best meat substitute I have had so far, plus no oil total win. Thank you for sharing this 😊.
Thank you for making the recipe! 🙏🏾
Why do you prefer no oil. I thought natural oils (olive, grapeseed, coconut, avocado) are good for us?
I made this Monday for my son and I this week! I didn't have a food processor, so I cut everything up. It was delicious! I'm glad you told us about the water. I would've been discouraged. We made tortillas! I picked up a food processor yesterday to make your carrot cake! It was delicious! I never thought that I'd be one of those people who love the cooking channels! Now, I love finding plant based channels! Yours is one of my favorites!! Thank you! I love your channel!
I LOVE this message! So glad to know that you are inspired and appreciating my channel! 🙂
This is my favorite channel. It's hard to improve on the best of the best!
I DON'T OWN A FOOD PROCESSOR, AND I am not sure which one to purchase. I would appreciate one made in America, Japan, Korea, or Germany. I know I am asking a lot.
Let me tell you something, sir. I'm not even religious, but I declare you are doing the Lord's work! I just made this, and it is A-MAY-ZING. I made it in preparation for your meatball gyro recipe, and I had to MAKE myself stop eating it so I can have some left for the gyros. It's THAT good.I am approaching vegan life as a complete newbie. I had been looking for recipes and came across your channel. SUBSCRIBED without hesitation! Oh, and yes, I followed the advice of some of the other commenters, and soaked the walnuts first (I soaked them overnight). Also, I made a small error in technique. I added everything to the pan at the same time, including the walnut mixture. I forgot it was supposed to be added later in the process. Turned out perfectly anyway. Actually, I think it's easier getting everything mixed together doing it that way. Looking forward to making those gyros and other vegan masterpieces!
Finally someone who uses REAL FOOD thru the whole recipe. Can’t wait to try this. Thank you it looks absolutely deeeelicious!♥️
Thank you! Hope you enjoy
I absolutely love this recipe!
I can’t believe I just now came across your channel! It has been so challenging finding truly HEALTH promoting, whole food plant based recipes that are actually delicious and bring that FLAVOR! Typically it’s either fairly unhealthy (although tasty) or nasty bland recipes out here. You will be my absolute go to and thank you so much for sharing!
I love this message! Thank you for watching and appreciating! 🙏🏾
I stop eating meat and transitioned to eating plant-based foods. I must admit, when I stop eating meat, my body went through withdrawals and I become sick--after a few weeks of just eating plant-based foods, I started to see a difference in my body and skin.
Same 😊
I think that’s a major issue that people do not discuss enough! The transition should be done gradually. In my personal experiences it gives the body time to adjust and also gives you time to learn about a completely new diet to make sure you’re getting the right nutrients!
I chose plant based diet because I was already sick and I also got worse, much worse, during the detox period but then I got whole lot better. I wouldn’t any other way. Instead of gradually adjusting for months and years and still be sick, I suffered for a few months and then gained my life back.
If you sick you must drink herbs teasuch as rosemary , basil, fennel , thyme, oregano, parsley, coriander and mint all in powder forms , just add every these in one spoon into a teapot add ginger a bit, drink it 4 times a day as a tea, good lucks all the best
I just tried this recipe. It was fun and easy to make. Definitely better than fake vegan meats that I've tried in the past. Thank you very much for sharing and being such an inspiration 🙏🏾
My pleasure. Thank you for sharing your feedback and appreciation!
Does this freeze well? This looks a lot for one person. How many servings does this recipe make? Where would you consider a good resource for the mushrooms? Thank you....thinking of going plant-based
Do you have a cookbook?
I agree about fake vegan meat, to learn to make it with all natural foods.
How long can you store this mix
OK I made the recipe and it is a keeper. I soaked the walnuts as suggested. To get the best consistency and texture I highly recommend using a food processor or Cuisinart. It’s hard to describe the taste of all the flavors but they blended together nicely. The texture is consistent with ground beef and at first take it kind of looks like ground beef. I was making tacos and was tempted to put shredded cheese on it but said nah, that defeats my purpose so I just ate it plain on corn tortillas. It had cooled down and I thought it needed to be heated up but that wasn’t the case. Tasted fine slightly warm. Because the taste is versatile I can see using it in a variety of dishes.
GREAT recipe! I actually boiled the walnuts for about five minutes after reading an earlier comment and it turned out perfectly. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! 👌🏾
Me too
Roasting the walnuts a little greatly enhances their walnut flavor.
This is a keeper. There is so much room to play with this...customizing the spices to make it more chilli or taco flavoured...adding salsa, buffalo sauce, mashed beans.....Love that the base is so healthy and nourrishing. Thank you!! Worked awesome in a tortilla with a little vegan cheese and salsa verde!
Nice! Thank you for appreciating!
You are right. Beans would probably thicking it up more. I can then just make some oatmeal tortilla wraps I saw online and just eat it like a borito; since I saw a recipe with some organic vegan cheese.
Thank you so much! I made your Veggie Ground and used it to make your No-Beef Patties. It was absolutely delicious! As a plant based eater for three years, I was getting discouraged. I missed the foods I used to love and my cooking is very dull. I don’t know what seasonings work well together. Although I only eat foods with clean ingredients, I couldn’t separate myself from using olive, avocado and coconut oil. I thank God He directed me to your channel. As a subscriber I look forward to watching your videos and making your dishes. I now ceased using all oils. Thank you for caring about our health and showing us that plant base eating is exciting. I greatly appreciate what you do!
This is such a beautiful message ... the type that give me such a sense of purpose regarding sharing my recipes. So, thank YOU so much for taking time to share this!!!
My pleasure! You are truly a blessing. I pray all of God’s best for you!!!
What is wrong with using olive , avocado & coconut oil? I thought these oils are the good ones.
If only all cooking videos were this good. It’s not easy for vegans/vegetarians to find good recipes for meat alternatives. I’m really glad I found your channel. Liked and subscribed, with thanks from across the pond ❤️🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing you appreciation and subscribing!🙏🏾
you're such an excellent cook and teacher and you're so generous sharing your knowledge, and I know comes from such a sincere caring place so thanks and gratitude!
Thank you so much for sharing your appreciation and support!🙏🏾
I've been plant based for 12 years and have tried many different "meat" replacement recipes as well as buying store products which usually have way too much oil added to them. I just tried your recipe last night and I'm so pleased with the results. Not only does it have ingredients that I can feel good about, but the texture and flavor are great. The final test was if my husband would eat it....and he loved it. In fact he's in the kitchen making himself a burrito out of it right now. Thank you so much! I just got a mushroom growing kit, so I'm excited to try your "mushroom wings" next.
I love this message! I really get excited when we convert a husband together. So glad you all like it. Let me know how the wings go.
The instructions you give in your videos are top notch. Clear. Understandable. Love watching!
I appreciate that!
I made this for the first time this week. My cauliflower was a bit small do i added broccoli. Soaked the walnuts, as others suggested. Smells and tastes amazing. Thank you
I made this today and all I can say is WOW! I soaked my walnuts overnight and used 6 cups of frozen cauliflower rice to replace the fresh cauliflower. It was delicious!!! It does make a lot so hopefully it freezes well. Thank you so much for this awesome recipe!!
Great job!
Did you defrost the cauliflower first, or tossed it in frozen?
The recipes are great…watching the whole process come together is even better! Thank you!!
Thank you, glad you’re appreciating the new format👌🏾
I always like watching these types of videos. I'm still learning different ways to cook. I've been cooking and eating vegan foods and snacks for around 6 years now. Cooking plant based from mother nature has never let me down. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe.
Thank you for sharing your appreciation!🙏🏾
I make this every other week now. I bought square soup molds for the freezer and freeze them in packages. Just like you get in the grocery store. Tried it on my husband on his nachos, he asked me why the meat tasted so good. I have used this as a substitute for all his favorites, and he continues to love it. Moved on so many of your other recipes today I am making the hamburger buns.🥰🎉
I love this message! Glad you are your husband are making the most of this versatile recipe!
I just made this, and it is delicious! I used 2 teaspoons of salt, and it was perfect for our taste. Thanks so much for the recipe!
You’re welcome 🙂
Made shepherds pie using your recipe and was amazing! Having tacos with it tonight. Thank you so much!
Nice! I love using it for Shepherd's Pie myself, thanks for appreciating.
Oh, great idea! That’s my dinner tonight!
Thank you to Chef Aj for having you on her show, I saw you and decided to try it. I love this, I made it recently for my son's birthday. I prepared a taco bar for our family and friends, and everyone absolutely loved it. They were shocked that vegetables could taste so good. It is helping me to transition into becoming vegan, I am currently vegetarian.
Love that!
I so appreciate that this does not have beans in it. As a vegetarian for the past 8 months i love beans but sometimes I want a different flavor. Love all these ingredients ♥️
Glad you like the recipe :)
@@healthyveganeating yes! I can’t wait to try it! Looks delicious!!
So what about protein? If this is the base of your meals, how do you get enough? ( protein)
Agree
@@heidibrummett3499 You want more protein? You need to incorporate maybe some into your side dishes than. For instance if you are having tacos you can make beans and rice as your side for more protein, if you are making Lasagna or spaghetti you can make a salad with spinach and chick peas to serve on the side( both have protein) , burgers serve with veggies and hummus , get creative, you can figure it out. 😊
It is absolutely delicious! And it freezes well ❤
Yes! Thanks for sharing your positivity!
"it freezes well". That's good to know; thanks.
That's the answer to my question, thank you.
What type of container do you freeze this in? I’m thinking a freezer bag but not sure how that’ll work
@@SusieLybarger I've always found that freezer bags let in too much "freezer bite" and ice, so I use glass pint-size canning jars. I guess it depends on how long you're going to store the food item.
Wow thank you. Love the detailed explanations of how and why you process different vegetables at different time
🙏🏾
Made this recipe with a few adjustments such as swapping out the cauliflower for red cabbage, and I must say I absolutely loved the outcome. I would definitely encourage others to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing
Love you substitution. Thanks for sharing your feedback :)
Thank you for this recipe. I used it as my base meat for my vegan cornbread dressing. It is so delicious. ❤
I really can't take the time to comment under all your videos, but you're such a huge inspiration to me. I am excited to make these meals with my kids. With each and every video I watch, I become even more impressed by you. I freaking love your catchphrase. I can even feel your good energy from beyond the screen. I wish I had more people to share you with! You're really changing the world with your creative genius and passion for health.
This is a beautiful message, and I can feel your kind, appreciative energy through the screen. I hope you continue to enjoy the recipes. I have lots of good ones coming, and please don't hesitate to make a request, if there is something you would like me to make.

It will have even more recipes than I have here, and you can search for dishes by name and category ( breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, etc.) Here is the link to check it out : hveating.com Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean the world to me!
I prepared this last night and it’s pretty good. I have been consuming beyond meat products since going plant base in 2016 and knew it wasn’t healthy but it was good. I recently in the last month stopped consuming it and was looking for a healthier alternatives when I came across your IG page. Thanks for sharing your recipes ❤
Nice! Thank you for sharing your appreciation.
Yes!! Me too!!!
Me too going healthier
Looks great. So glad you are doing longer videos here on UA-cam.👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you! Glad you’re appreciating the new format!🙂
You are a life saver seriously! Recently found out I was coeliac, and I was already vegetarian, and decided to ditch dairy along with gluten. Your recipes are saving me, I had no idea where to start.
Thank you so much.
You're so welcome!
This is SOOOO much better than the “Impossible” & “Beyond” crap I was eating. Idk wtf is in that stuff. You made this foolproof (& you’re gorgeous-so that helps 😂) ❤
Thank you 🙏🏾 I like your message!
AMEN!!!! This is truly vegan. That meat ain't really plant based.
If this legit tastes and feels at least as good as the beyond I’m completely in.
And you get so emotional over your food. 😍
He is rather easy on the eye.....😅
Brother you are the truth. I’ve been following you on Instagram and tried several of your recipes and they are all on point. Gratitude to you and the Universe for letting me find you on UA-cam
Thank you so much for the appreciation and support. Glad you're here.
Thank you soooo much. I’ve made it for the last year and so, and it’s DELICIOUS. It’s working out lovely for us, and as you said it’s can be very diverse. Bless you.🫶🙏💕
You are so welcome!
I’m so happy to have found this. I’m only 2.5 months in on eating plant based so I am constantly looking for recipes. I tried your carrot cake last weekend and everyone was surprised at how delicious it was. So I’m excited to try this!
Thank you, Lisa! Please let me know how you like this 👌🏾
@@healthyveganeating I will! I appreciate you!
Stay with it! Your health, the health of our animal friends and the health of the planet are at stake 😊🙏💕
Have you tried this?
I’ve made something similar but this looks even better. My husband loves the meat substitutes but I don’t because I just prefer legumes and whole foods so this seems like a great compromise and the fact that we can freeze it too is just the icing on the cake. THANK YOU!!!
My pleasure! Try this one for your husband, I have had many wives say that their husbands love it :)
I wanted to make this recipe months ago, but my food processor quit on me. Once I got my new processor, this was the first thing that I made. The veggie ground tastes even better the next day once all the spices have had to chance to settle. I threw it on some vegan mac and cheese and the taste is fantastic. My wife loves it. I'm not a vegan, but I am striving to get more plants into my diet. Thank you so much for sharing. It was definitely worth the wait.
Beautiful! 🙂
No beans or peas involved!
Subscribed.
Our furry cousins thank you for your efforts.
Thanks for subbing!🙏🏾
I made my first batch of veggie ground today. Absolutely delicious. You can definitely taste the difference between impossible meat and this. Thank you for sharing your recipe 😊
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
Just found your channel, thanks for posting...🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!
New follower/fan. Made this last night and it is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! I kept testing it as it cooked and I was worried that the spices were too much for me and I might need to cut them back in the future. But when you mix in the tomato paste and walnuts: MAGIC! I love it! I made tacos with it last night and again for breakfast this morning, it's that good. I've got so many ideas...Thank you for your great instructions and demos. No wonder it's getting noticed!
I just made my first batch also. Half is for tacos tonight, and the other half I seasoned up for breakfast sausage to go with some oat waffles.
I make a fake queso out of cashews that fooled my teenage son.
I love this message!! The veggie ground is so versatile and the recipe makes a lot, so you are able to create lots of dishes with one batch. Glad you are enjoying it! Thanks so much for watching, appreciating, and subscribing!!
I think next time I'll use half, throw in red pepper flakes and fennel seed to create a kind of Italian sausage, too!@@gabec2494
Such a creative, versatile, and delicious recipe; we loved it! Have to make it again very soon!!
Thanks Sharon. Stay tuned I have some more recipes that use this veggie ground coming soon🙂
On a low FODMAP diet so I substituted: broccoli heads for cauliflower, leek tops for onions,didn’t have oyster mushrooms(can’t have the other ones) so I omitted the mushroom, added a little vegan Worcestershire sauce, and low FODMAP stock cube to replace the garlic. Still good!
I’ve been in the kitchen for 2 weeks cooking every recipe on your channel! Making this right now 😍
Love it !! 👌🏾
Keep up the good work, he is helping us save our lives, our toxic fast food culture is the #1 cause of chronic disease and suffering. How ironic insurance companies pay fortunes for drugs and procedures, but no one will spend a penny on prevention and education on nutrition... not even the medical schools that train doctors, so even they are clueless! In a world where profit rules, sickness is big business, so the only profit in good health is our own!
Wonderful
@@CharGC123🎯 100% in agreement.
Great thank you@@CharGC123
Very good recipe. I feel like I will add quinoa for more protein and bulk. 😊 very easy to make and very good
Good idea. I love quinoa :)
How much quinoa do you recommend adding?
I also thought of adding quinoa to it you know to give it more protein.
Love love love what your sharing, your recipes are on point! I started living in a Vegan community in Peru for 3 months, healed my fatty liver, drpped 40 pounds. Upon returning to Canada, I started eating junk vegan, I was lazy and oh my body did not appreciate it. I feel better eating clean again, thank you :)
My pleasure, hope you enjoy the recipe!
Oh man this is fabulous so much Umami flavors! Made it for taco Tuesday, added red curry paste in place of tomato paste, 2 jalapeno chopped and 2tbls of taco seasoning, cilantro with lime juice.
I am not missing any meat in this at all. Great job with the recipe man! ❤❤
Thank you 🙏🏾 Sounds like you know some thangs! 😁 Thank you for subscribing!
That sounds so good
👍👍👍👍👍 1,000 thumbs up on your veggie meat substitute🎉🎉🎉 I made it today. It turned out perfectly and it’s so delicious. I will never miss meat again. Thank you so much for this dish plus I have a wedding to go to next month and I’m trying to slim down to look extra good because my ex is going to be there lol. Thank you.😊
🤔 Punish him!! 😂
I’m going to have to with your delicious vegan recipes as my secret weapon🤣
👌🏾
We are not vegan but are trying to bring more vegan (WFPB) into our diet because the health benefits. I have tried so many meat substitutes and they are always off putting to me. This was perfect and yes The Best! Next is your sausage recipe. This will be our go to moving forward. I am so glad I found your page.
I am too! Thank you for appreciating 🙏🏾
I just made some, but I could only find a small head of cauliflower, at the second store I went to, so I cut the recipe in half. Smell delicious and a sample taste so GOOD. I'm going to try it with tacos. Thanks once again.
Nice! Good idea halfing the recipe :)
This recipe is absolutely divine. Thank you so much for coming up with it. I have been trying to incorporate more vegetables into my diet and this absolutely fills the bill. I even mistakenly added the walnut paste at the same time as the vegetables were cooking. Whoops! 🤦🏻♀️. Wasn’t paying attention to the recipe instructions but it still turned out just fine. Will do it right next time. Can’t wait to try your carrot cake recipe next. 🤗. PS: I soaked the walnuts overnight as suggested by one of the other comments
Thank you, glad you are making and enjoying the recipes.
I have made this several times and love the texture that the unsoaked walnuts give the veggie ground, especially in a burger or spaghetti sauce. I would say adjust according to your taste. He’s done the groundwork for us.
👌🏾
This is my 4th time making your fabulous veggie ground! This time I subbed sunflower seeds for the walnuts and added some (green) lentils. I can’t mess it up! Still tastes great! Thank you again, Jayant, for this recipe!
You’re so welcome!
Hi, were the lentils cooked?
Yes
Thank you
@@michellebackus2515 when I think on it, it’s rather obvious they would’ve had to be cooked lol. Thanks for not being condescending :).
I’m so thankful for your cooking show 🙏🏽. On my way to the store now to make this and your carrot cake 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you for sharing 😊
Love it! Let me know how it goes :)
I just finished making mine! I soak my walnuts. I was afraid it was not going to taste good because people take the make things and say it good and I throw it in is good and you the garbage. Mine is good. I not add salt and will salt may I mixture to can be careful of the salt but I can salt it to my finished dishes. Thank you sir for taking up the time to make this just us.
Great! Glad to hear you like the recipe!
Your video just popped up on my feed ❤ happy to subscribe. Great recipe, a nice change from tofu & tvp. Your health advice bang on. Thank you 😊
Thank you for appreciating, and subscribing! 🙏🏾
Yes!! NO Tofu😊. Thanks!!
I made this dish rather late. It's an acquired taste to me. It had a great flavor to it. I'm sure I'll start loving it soon. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I'm going to make one of those desserts soon enough.
What did it taste like in your opinion?
@@mstoomuch25 It was meaty with the walnuts. Try it out, that's about all I can say. Try or take away what you like, play with it.
Javant, I did it. At first I thought this recipe was too much me, but I got all the ingredients and got work. This veggie ground meat substitute is the MAC DADDY. My family was skeptical at first but they tasted it and went crazy. I then made the vegan breakfast sausage and that was spot on. Delicious and healthy. TWO THMBS UP!!!
Love this message!!! These are the type of messages that inspire me to post lots more recipes. So glad that you and the fam like it! Please try more recipes and let me know what you guys think! Thank you for appreciating my efforts!
I love all your recipes. I just became a vegan and it’s been a challenge figuring out how to eat. You make eating fun again with all your meal ideas. Thanks
Thank you! I’m glad you’re finding value in my recipes🙏🏾
Just buy stuff prepared I store you will soon transition to homemade as you will see how easy it is
I have a vegan ground beef crumble as well, but I will definitely try your recipe too. I love to have multiple recipe options 😄 Looks great!
I'm so eager to try my hand at vegan cooking. After having a healthy eating class after church this afternoon. It was a seventh day Adventists church. Every Saturday they have vegan lunch. Yummy. So today I made a stir fry all veggies with cumin, rosemary, Himalayan salt cyane pepper. Very light touch of olive oil. Thanks so much for all your help. Teaching me how to cook delicious plant based food. God bless you in all your endeavors. Love sister Ellie in Florida
@@eleanorarman6888 God bless you sister Ellie! That’s exciting to hear! Best of luck to you on your plant-based cooking journey. It’s a big passion of mine & I love to hear people as yourself who are eager to try it out. 💕
@@kialove_4life I don't think I would ever go wrong paying attention to your cooking and ingredients and how to prepare thanks again 😘
@@eleanorarman6888 Thank you for the kind words! ☺️🙏🏾💕
I made this this morning before work and in my rush I didn’t hold the walnuts out to add in later, rather I mixed them in with the veggies. STILL in love with this recipe. It is LIFESAVING frfr!
Nice!!
Made my second batch today and it came out just as good as the first! I always follow you TO THE LETTER and it's amazing! So, now I'm going to start making other stuff with it. I saw your meatballs and I am definitely going to try that. Just checkin' in! Keep the good stuff coming!💖💖💖💖💖
Will do 👌🏾
I did not realise you are on UA-cam as been following your recipes for a few months now. Though not vegan more vegetarian and occasionally pescatarian- I love your recipes and have attempted a few. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing healthy alternatives with us.
Thank you so much for supporting and appreciating my efforts and passion!🙏🏾
I can't believe how good this tastes. Texture is just like ground beef. flavor is just like ground beef!!!! 1000 thank yous💯💯💯❤️❤️
I know, right?! I was amazed myself the first time I tasted it after finally getting the recipe right.
I’m not vegetarian but this looks amazing…
How long does it keep in the fridge, can it be frozen, and also for how long?? Please and Thanks
I’ve kept it in the fridge for up to 5 days. It freezes very well, so I recommend keeping some on hand for quick, diverse meals👌🏾
@@healthyveganeating thank you for answering this! I live alone and that is a huge amount to make. I might still need to cut it in half!!
Where can I find the exact spices and seasonings? Or is it a secret? I can’t believe I just found your channel, you’re doing amazing work over here! Thanks for sharing with us 💜🙏🏼
@@catsieja5862 Hello Cat,
Thank you for the enthusiasm for my channel! 🙂 The full recipe with all measurements are under the video. Just tap on the word MORE and you’ll see the top of the recipe list. Tap again, and you’ll see the entire recipe 👌🏾
@@healthyveganeating that’ll work! Thanks 😊
FANTASTIC RECIPE. Just like ground. The Emmy goes to Healthy Vegan Veggie Ground Meat Substitute. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Thank you!!! 🙏🏾
This looks soooooo good!! Can't wait to try but one thing I would add is Smoked Paprika!!😊. Thanks for the video.
Go for it!👌🏾
Can you freeze this?
Yes. Just make sure to cool first and freeze flat and thin for easy thawing.
I love this man. I just finished making this without a food processor; I instead used my Ninja Auto IQ smoothie machine. I needed to do batches of veggies. It tastes so fresh. I will add Worcestershire for burgers, taco seasoning for tacos and more Italian for meatballs and meatloaf at the time when I cook each. I made three pounds at a total cost of $13.00. The same amount of unhealthy beef would have cost me over $20.00. I just made tacos by adding water and taco seasoning and wanted to update. It tasted great! Also, that price is deceiving because one pound of this veggie ground makes at least twice as much as one pound of beef would. Winner. I used my 12" cast iron skillet in two batches then threw it all in my large enameled cast iron pot with lid on to sit for 20 minutes to marinade. Wonderful recipe!
I LOVE this message! Way to go! 👌🏾 And, I love you right back! 🙂
Thanks for the taco idea. I will surely try it! I also don't have a food processor that is full size, so I made it with my little mini food processor and it took awhile, but it was well worth it! And I soaked my walnuts, too. I have been getting lots of fresh zucchini and spaghetti squash from my garden and I have been serving it with the veggie ground and drizzling it with a bit of hemp/cashew cream and it's been so good!
The thing I love most about your videos is that you include the written recipe. That’s so much easier than having to keep pausing to write things down. Or, in some videos, GUESS what they are putting in.
Glad you like them!
This looks amazing! 😋
So good!
I can stop eating this from the pan!!! It is absolutely, positively, beyond a shadow of a doubt delicious!!!!
And I honestly didn’t think that it would! I figured that I would have to do what I always do…. to make new recipes palatable!
And to be honest I didn’t change a thing in this recipe, but rather made a substitution. I’m trying to cut back on my salt so In savory dishes so I use mushroom powder. It adds Unami to any savory dish!
This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thank you soo much!!!
You're so welcome! I use mushroom powder too 👌🏾
I made this today, and wow it was amazing, tricked my friend into trying it, and she didn't realise at all, only thing I would do differently next time, is leave out cumin, I don't like the smell of it, but that's my choice, you don't really taste it in cooking, also you do get the occasional crunch from walnuts but I didn't mind that, I knew it wasn't real meat, so didn't bother me, I made a spaghetti bolognaise, and it tasted exactly the same as if I made it with meat, it is a big batch, so rolled up some meatballs, and separate containers, for more spaghetti bol, and chilli concarne, so all good, thank you
Love it!! Thanks for making it, and sharing your experience 🙂
OMG this recipe is delicious! I omitted the walnuts in mine, but kept the rest of ingredients. So far I have used it for spagetti bolognaise, lasagne and chilli with rice and over tortillas. Cannot get enough! It tastes just like beef mince and bonus keeps well in the fridge for 5 days. in original form. I added extra ingredients when cooking my final meal. Thank you 😁
Wonderful! Glad you like it!!
Loving your channel! I've been a vegan for 50 years & I've learned to be a pretty good cook over the years. Your recipes are delicious & easy to make. I also love your easy to follow instructions & video quality is excellent. Thanks for sharing your gift.
Thank you for appreciating my efforts, I'm glad that you're finding value in my channel 🙏🏾
Excellent nutritious recipe. Delicious and so versatile. I appreciate the jackfruit substitution for mushrooms!
Glad you like it!
I just made this. Your spice mixture is fantastic and gives it a beefy ground meat flavor. I ate some raw since that is usually what I prefer. Delicious as is. However, tomorrow I will cook some to see the difference. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes.
Love that you experimented. Glad you like it!
I freeze mine into portions. I made a tomato based veg soup (V8 juice)…day 3 I added yr veggie ground round to it and it became a delicious stew! Thanks again for this amazing recipe.
Sounds delisious!
I have been vegan mostly whole food for 9 years. I was in such a hurry last night to make this for the first time that I mistakenly mixed the walnut/tomato paste mix as the the veggies were cooking. When I first tasted it, my brain said, well this just tastes like a mixture of veggies. Good but not really different. Then, I kept putting spoonfuls in my mouth and couldn't stop. LOL. I made stuffed bell peppers with it and now I'm hooked. Thank you so much for this recipe! And shame on my brain judging before my taste buds could really vote!
I totally get it. I have been guilty of prejudging recipes in the past. So glad you kept trying it, and eventually came around. Thanks for the comment, I love a story with a happy ending!!
Going on my pizza tonight! @@healthyveganeating

Thank you Keith! I love that you feel positive about being able to transition to a healthier diet, and stay consistent. It makes me feel good to know that my recipes will help you!! Thanks for the message, and please keep me updated here and there about how you are doing.
This is so awesome! Thanks! My first attempt yielded about 3 pound of ground. I used the first pound in a vegan version of a dirty rice today. I plan to use another pound in stuffed peppers later. The third pound is patiently waiting in my freezer, possibly for lasagna. This recipe is gold!
That is great. So glad your getting good use of the recipe!
I made this recipe today and added a few extra spices and it turned out great! This veggie ground is so much healthier than some of the vegan processed “meats’. Thank you Javant!!😊
You're very welcome!
When onions make our eyes water, it’s actually detoxing our eyes.
I can’t wait to try this! Ty!
Enjoy! 👌🏾
That looks so good!!! I'm not vegan but my body demands vegan and veggie dishes! I'll be trying this recipe soon. I've made vegan spaghetti and as much as I love it, it's time to try something new. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
You're welcome! 👌🏾

Glad you like them!😊
Oh my goodness thank you for responding. Please keep it up with your videos and let me know how I can continue to support you.☺️
Javant, thank you so much for this recipe. It's definitely a keeper. Made this for myself and my husband. We're both vegetarians. He said this was the best meat substitute he's tasted. I agree and it's so versatile. It made so much that I was able to freeze leftovers and use it for other meals. Thank you!
Love it! 👌🏾
Just tried recipe for first time. Mine was a. Little too crunchy also.
I put part of the mixture back in food processor and pulsed a little longer in ordet to get desired texture. I will soak the walnuts next time as someone suggested. However; love love this recipe. This is my all time favorite "not burger" recipe!!
Can't wait to try it sgain!
Thank you soooo much 😁😁!
You’re welcome! 👌🏾
I tried this recipe. I don't have a food processor so I used a grater and got the same results. It came together well, but I didn't like the spice blend until I doctored it a bit. Thanks for being you. You rock.
You're welcome. Glad it worked for you!
Thank you for making a difference & saving lives. Blessing to you may God continue to Bless you abundantly.
This is such a kind message! Thank you so much!
I'm new to the vegan/plant based community. Finding ideas and recipes that will be enjoyed by myself and my reluctant family can pose a challenge. I made this recipe today. The flavors and texture were outstanding. I used this to make vegetarian burritos, and they were delicious. Thank you so much for your channel, I've watched a ton of your videos, and I'm ready to prepare meals with confidence 😊
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing your appreciation for my channel. I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed the recipe🙂
