While there are a number of meat substitutes, some are better than others. For some, creating these products at home can be both easy, efficient and cost saving. While for others, the thought of attempting to make any type of frozen food from scratch, especially frozen vegetable burgers is out of the question.
One great thing about different brands of veggie burgers is that all can be made in different ways. Whether chopped up into chili, or severed in traditional recipes, these foods offer a lot in the way of meat substitutions and recipe enhancements.
Those wanting a more simple tasting patty based in vegetables might want to try Garden Burger. While Boca is often the one that holds up best with toppings, nothings says one can not add different toppings and ingredients to a variety of styles. Depending on cooking experience, some veggie foods can be made as well, if not better than traditional meat, poultry, fish or wild game counterparts.
When creating patties, or other vegetarian entrees and sandwiches, spices can go along way in making these foods taste good. While frozen patties may still need additives, condiments and spice, it is essential to blend any dry spice into a homemade mix before shaping and freezing the burgers. Otherwise, any dry spices will only fall off when cooking, grillng, or microwaving the patty once it has been frozen.
While some individuals stick to a strict vegetarian or vegan diet, there are also others who eat meat that enjoy a good veggie sandwich from time to time. Generally, these individuals are going to find the Boca brand to be as close to the taste of meat as possible. Other foods in the Boca line, include faux chicken patties, plain or spicy, all of which taste almost exactly like meat counterparts.
When it comes to selecting veggie dogs, Tofu Pups and Smart Dogs are often two of the most common found in markets. While making vegetarian patties from black beans, lentils or other beans is often easy, creating veggie hot dogs from scratch is not. As such, most individuals prefer to purchase veggie dogs while still making some of the patties and other foods from scratch.
While meat eaters may be drawn more to the Boca brand, some vegans and vegetarians think the taste is too close to beef. GardenBurger, Amys and Trader Joe's can often provide a better option when it comes to vegetable based burgers. Though, it should be noted that many of these brands tend to fall apart when cooked in a microwave, baked or fried. After which, adding additional ingredients can often be difficult, though when used for sloppy joes and other similar foods can also provide an excellent substitute for meat based burgers.
Ultimately, it is best to try a number of different brands before deciding on a favorite. Also, while some patties hold up for additives and sauces, others do not. Deciding on which brand can often depend on what type of recipe in which these meat substitutions are to be used. When making recipes in which veggie patties can be cut up, then most any brand will work fine. Whereas, when adding toppings or other ingredient, generally the courser the patty, the better.
