Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cauliflower riced
  • 1/2 cup walnuts ground
  • 1 15 oz can of beans (black, red or pinto) rinsed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon water

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Method
 

  1. Pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until it is “riced,” or in small pieces resembling ground beef. Repeat the same process with the walnuts.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add all of the ingredients and stir until combined. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is cooked through and the walnuts are slightly softened. Make sure to stir it occasionally. If the meat is too dry, add water a little at a time to moisten it.

Notes

  • This vegan meat freezes well! Keep it in an air tight container in a freezer for up to 3 months.
