Your husband have a good point here , you thinking processing all the veggies is a good thing to make them taste like a burger? you know how more you process the food, how less valuable it is . Unless you just want to enjoy making new stuff and have fun in the kitchen.
I am doing all stuff at home , and if there is craving for fat I do fat .. balanced diet is the best choice.
don't go by the trends , use common sense
I never go with trends. I love cooking and try out new stuff. As I said, I am not a big meat eater and like to try out new recipes with vegetable.
When you make Veg burger by your own , much processing is not the case. I love to use Lentilles coral, red beans. Eggs, herbs , mix it and form paties . And grill it. Still taste like Vegetable, but you can put it between your baguette with salad, Cucumber, tomate.
Balanced , healthy eating is the key. Diet trends are a horror in my opinion. When you eat healthy, balanced , move daily, you do not need a diet.
To reduce meat in my meal plan is a personal choice, which I do since very,very long. Long,long before it was hip.
When we BBQ, I make the burger for my family my self.
Why I try stuff like Beyond Meat? I want to know why this hype. And maybe try to reproduce it in my own kitchen.
I would btw not recommend it. This product is way to expensive for what it is. Has to much not healthy fat inside , too poor on nutrition. You are better with a real hamburger steak.
