    For the seasoning blend (since he runs through it so fast haha):
    1 tsp onion powder

    2 tsp cumin
    1 tsp paprika
    1 tsp chili powder
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne
    1/2 tsp cocoa powder

    Just made this ‘mince’. I had to hand chop the carrot (painful!!) because my food processor was out of action, meaning the texture wasn’t exactly right, but nevertheless, it was absolutely delicious! Carrot ‘mince’ is now going on the permanent rotation, and I love the fact it only cost me about 20p! Inflation busting at its best! Thank you for this genius recipe!

      @@OctoBox Don't be fooled by the antics of this person; this recipe is such a good meat replacement, I even used it even a spaghetti sauce and it is virtually indistinguishable from real meat there as well. In any recipe you need a vegan replacement for loose hamburger meat, Marmite+carrots is more than able to replace the texture and taste of meat, to such an extent it would completely fool most people. Vegemite works too, as I'm sure any other brand of yeast extract would (Tesco, Essentials, Meridian, etc).

      Speaking of hot dogs, I made the most amazing carrot corn dogs. I boiled some carrots, pricked them lightly with a fork all over, and marinated them for 3 whole days. Marinade was coconut aminos, soy sauce, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic and onion powder, mustard powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, salt, pepper. My batter was homemade using gluten free Bob's red mill baking flour with the blue label and also Bob's cornmeal. We dipped them in homemade garlic aioli. They were AMAZING!!!!!👌

      I only consume eggs from my grandparents and, to bind the composition, I add two eggs and corn starch and wait for 15 minutes. If I don't have corn starch, I use breadcrumbs and some semolina.
      To make a sauce: I blend a roasted tomato, some salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, grinded oregano or basil or both and a little bit of oil and I heat the sauce in a pan to get rid of the excess water in the tomato and it's... mmmmmmmhh... Mmmh!

    Ok so I made this recipe hours after the video came out. Here are a couple things I noticed.
    1. It tasted really good! I was skeptical about the cocoa powder but I think it added that depth to taste more meat-like.
    2. I don't have any marmite, soy sauce, or bouillon cube. I just roasted the carrots with oil. And I added dark miso to replace the marmite.
    3. My mixture was bright orange throughout the entire stovetop cooking process. I wonder if the marmite would've made that difference.
    4. I had to let my mixture "burn" a little so I could get the color to change. Then i would stir it up and let it "burn" again. I repeated this until the color was close to what he had. Albeit, I could still see the Orange bits.
    4. Roasting the carrots was the longest part. But otherwise the process was a quick a cooking up some ground beef.

    • @SauceStache
      @SauceStache  3 года назад +23

      That’s awesome! I love this breakdown! The marmite for sure adds an extra level of browning.
      Cocoa powder is pretty fun to mess with when making mock meats. With beef flavors it really adds a level of depth and richness.
      Miso was a really good idea!
      Thanks again!!

      My meat sauce game started getting real good when i began upping the mirepoix content. I make sure to especially add extra carrots. The bit of sweetness really adds to an otherwise all savory dish. Some of the best meat sauces I've made were only like 20-80 meat to mirepoix. As it happens, meat is actually only needed as a flavoring for meat sauce (for meat eaters that is) and the vegetables are what carry it.
