How people cook with it
- Add to stir-fries
- Mix into pasta sauces
- Top salads
- Stuff into wraps
To prepare, simply add the roast flavour pieces to your cooking. They can be sautéed in a pan with a little oil until heated through and slightly crisped. Alternatively, they can be added directly to simmering dishes like curries, stews, or pasta sauces during the last few minutes of cooking to absorb the flavors. For a quick meal, toss them into a hot pan with vegetables and your favorite sauce for a simple stir-fry. They are also good added to baked dishes or casseroles.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other plant-based proteins, these pieces offer a specific roast flavor profile, which can save time on seasoning. Their texture is designed to be tender yet slightly firm, providing a satisfying bite that is distinct from softer options like tofu or firmer ones like seitan.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any unused roast flavour pieces in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within two to three days to maintain their freshness and texture. Ensure the container is airtight to prevent them from drying out.
