About Nutcase Vegan
This pasta dish will truly nourish and delight. We bring out the aromas and sweetness of leeks and Brussel sprouts. I ’am almost at the end of my Huge mirin bottle. I’ve been fond of deglazing each and every meal I cook. It is a pretty cool technique that comes in handy. Deglazing is a cooking technique that involves adding liquid such as stock or wine in this case mirin (sweet rice wine) to a pan to loosen the food particles attached to the bottom from cooking or searing resulting in a flavorful residue. Use this technique in your daily cooking to add that exquisite flavor in your daily creations.
Nutcase Vegan Story
We were dedicated locavores; after viewing Food Inc, our daughter announced she was a vegetarian from that day forward. Andrew is a talented cook so he devoted his culinary talents to vegetarian, dairy-free cooking. We began looking at prepared protein sources; we wanted a whole foods & nutrient dense product. We put our heads together to create a flavorful “meat” while avoiding pro-inflammatory foods. Our products are gluten-free, soy-free, and filler-free.
At Nutcase Vegan Meats, we are committed to creating the highest quality organic, kosher, non-GMO foods for you to enjoy!
I found them through Shaman Durek’s Podcast Ancient wisdoms. It’s a pretty interesting podcast and a good resource of positivity.
In this recipe I used Nutcase Vegan loaf which added a lot of flavor and heartiness to our dish. Their products are versatile, tasty and nutritious. I highly recommend them.
Variations
Sauté any greens and produce with a hefty amount of olive oil. As flavor booster, you can use white miso instead of pesto. What about cooked lentils or mushroom bacon if you don’t have vegan meats on hand. There’s a variety of vegan cheeses too to top it off. There’s nothing more comforting than a big pot of pasta. Make sure it’s seasoned well though.
