Tofu, Tempeh and TVP
You may not think of tofu or tempeh as vegetables, but they are plant-based and made from soybeans. TVP, or texturized vegetable protein, is also made from soy. Seitan is made from wheat gluten. The meat in any recipe can be replaced with one of these plant-based options. Tofu makes the perfect swap-out for chicken.
Mushrooms
If you’re looking for a meat-like taste and many nutrients, mushrooms are a great choice. Aside from their rich, earthy flavour, they are also a great substitute in terms of vitamins and fiber. It’s best to go for Portobello mushrooms, as they have an unforgettable flavour, especially when combined with vegan butter and black pepper.
