I would really like to have a plant-based meat style loaf or a roast that can be carved and doesn’t fall apart. Have you any ideas? I just checked your list of plant-based products and I don’t see anything suitable. I have made a sliceable roast joint which was OK, I could hand slice it with a knife to as little as 2 mm thick, but suffered from the usual Wheat Gluten taste. Despite adding quite a lot of seasonings. Doing a little research it seems some Cider Vinegar or Baking soda will help lessen this problem but I have not been able so far, to try again. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Thank you for a really great site it is so informative for us all.
Hi again Roger,
Yes, I agree, the gluten taste is often quite pronounced unless you add a ton of seasonings or a strong marinade. I don’t have any recipe for that kind of loaf yet, but will add it to the list!
