5 AMAZING meals that changed my life

I'm going to take a traditional heavily meat-based dish and turn them plant-based over the top watch this hey babe what do you want for dinner not the usual dry stuff right we're going to be making Mexican inspired beia Bia Bia sorry if I don't pronounce it correctly and I'm going to share Innovative traditional and non-traditional dishes not just plantbase but delicious plantbase free from animals Let's Just Jump Right [Music] In here's where we just want to remove seeds from the chilies now you don't have to do this if you like it spicy you're going to go on your play date I'll see you soon okay give me kiss okay come on I'm going to add some hot water to reconstitute them we're going to toast off seven cloves of garlic cumin seed coriander seed black peppercorn one cinnamon stick three cloves smells delicious everything but the cinnamon stick garlic bed Roma tomatoes onion just chopped really get some extra depth of flavor going to remove the garlic right to blender all the chilies all the liquid add some [Music] lemon it's delicious and it's going to get even better when we start cooking it I'm using these amazing Brown cluster oyster mushrooms all I'm going to do is butcher them up take the substrate off I want to leave these intact cuz you'll see why in a minute I want to make sure this is just packed full of flavor that's the bottom just this part so cool probably about about a pound and a half they're coming from a super cool project that I've been working on transforming a chicken farm into a mushroom farm and they grew these and I get to play with them going to use my pressing technique press that down slowly now there's quite a lot of mushrooms in here I don't want to press it too fast because then too much liquid will come out and I want that sear I want a good coloring on the mushrooms that's where all the flavor is going to come from you could just put the mushrooms in here and let it go you're going to have no coloring on it you could do the coloring after but it's already going to be soaked I want to create that Flavor now because then it goes throughout the whole duration of the cook and it just keeps building and building and layering flavors upon flavors and that's what we're all about press it one more time and then we're going to season it look at that sear on that that's going to be a ton of flavor flip these going to add a glug or two of olive oil add a little bit of hot water to this just to get the extra spices out the sauce going to strain that we're going to make the con cons now it's getting some really nice color going to add one onion that I Julian this is going to be the salsa just to make sure we don't waste anything my consum right here also have some veg broth I probably won't use this all not going to forget to add the cinnamon stick needs a little bit more salt feel the flavor exuding from this look at that this just needs a little bit of salt yum next time while I wait delicious now it's time for it to go in the oven 185 CSI so that's about 350° F and we'll leave it in there for about 40 45 minutes I could have them faster but I'm looking for that flavor and I get a little bit of time

and deep with the sear and that flavor really really makes it pop makes it sink yum this is gold I'm going to save half of this I split up the mushroom these and these right here I'm leaving these ones whole these ones I'm going to mince one onion coriander keep these fresh by wetting a paper towel then I pop them in the fridge until I need them you hungry this is a smoky vegan cheese I'm just going to grate it oh cranky just about a tablespoon of oatly Greek yogurt mix it up this is the best meltable creamy vegan cheese that I can make of my own I have Miss Frankie to do some of the dishes
