To prepare, simply heat the plant-based mince in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is warmed through and slightly browned.

It can be added directly to cooked dishes like pasta sauces or used as a filling for tacos, quesadillas, or other baked goods. Ensure it is heated thoroughly before serving.
