Meat Substitutes

Over half of American consumers are eating more plant-based foods because it makes them feel healthier, but many plant-based “meats” are loaded with artificial ingredients. Heart-healthy walnuts can meet both the flavor and texture demands for meat substitutes and can be easily incorporated into countless foods.

About Glenda’s Farmhouse

 

Glenda’s Farmhouse is an Andersen & Sons Shelling brand. As a vertically integrated farming operation, we raise, hull, dry, shell, sort, store, package, and sell healthy-for-you walnuts. Our walnuts are certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) and non-GMO project verified, gluten-free, kosher, and certified vegan.

Since 1904, the Andersen family has been farming walnuts, prunes, and cattle in Vina, California, in California’s Central Valley. We have merged with Western Nut Company and are expanding into new brands and other tree nut products, such as cashews, almonds, and pecans. We think of our walnuts as the “go-to” nut of choice for consumer cooking, baking, and snacking.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add the walnuts, mushrooms, tamari, and salt/pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times in batches until it breaks down and resembles a ground beef texture. Do not over-process, or it will turn smooth like paste.

    Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 or 4 days.

Notes:

  1. Wash the mushrooms before using them, but be sure to dry them off to avoid adding too much moisture to the mixture.

  1. For Mexican flavor:

    Make the “meat” with 2 tablespoons cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder (or cayenne).

  2. For Italian flavor:
