Vegan ‘meaty’ Ragu

We’re not massive fans of some of the highly processed meat replacement products you find today on the shelves of supermarkets and delis. The high processing means they can be packed with chemicals or additives – and let’s face it, a product like ‘fake-on’ (fake bacon) seems to be as far as you can get from the principles of a vegan diet as possible. 

It’s why we prefer to make our own vegan dishes from whole foods, and cooking from scratch to ensure they are both tasty and nutritionally balanced. Case in point is this delicious ragu with a meaty texture but certainly no animals involved. 

We use vitamin-D rich chestnut mushrooms, packed with fibre and good for cell, blood and immune health, while also high in glutathione and ergotheonine, two potential anti-aging antioxidants. 

We also add in complimentary plant protein sources by using legumes and nuts to ensure a full suite of amino acids (the building blocks of protein), while we further enhance the flavour and nutritional profile thanks to our Brilliant Base Tomato Fondue. They won’t believe it’s not Bolognese!
