I pick up a lot of odd food for vegans, that my resident vegetarian would not touch - and I think this is the most meaty appearing so far. It's a box of 'cat burgers' - plant based pork steaks in a very cool box.
They were a little expensive (£6 I think) but they were fabulous.
This is why we started calling them cat burgers (to differentiate from the other vegan stuff we have), that's Mr Marbles the cat.
So far - so meaty.
Ingredients - water & soy. and lots of red beet juice for the colour & blood.
The ick factor is high - but the smell is fine - even if it does look like you've got a pig heart for dinner.
Season up
Pop it on the George Formby grill
And turn into a waffle burger with some spicy kombucha! Decent enough.
This is how I'd have beef style things - but it turned out this is more like pork so for part 2 (which was individually sealed and so still fresh 3 days later).
USe up some of the high quality pork rub that we got ages ago - on all the sides. Let it sit for a bit.
And pan fry it as on the directions - awesome stuff - restaurant quality taste although my presentation is a bit naff.
This was awesome - well worth the admission price and like a lovely thick flaky gammon steak burger. So good you could feed it to main-land Europeans and they'd like it.
Requires a little more effort than just popping a burger in the oven, but if you want to be a bit more veggie and still feel like a carnivore then this is an easy recommend. I'm going to get more of these from Waitrose when I'm next there.
