What\u2019s the BEST plant-based ingredient to cook with?\xa0 It is the one that has paved the way for the plant-based revolution that we have today. Dan Curtin, CEO of Field Roast and Lightlife, joins me on the pod to discuss my all-time favorite product: Tempeh. In addition, as Lifelights celebrates 40 years, we dish on the history and the future of the plant-based foodie movement!\xa0
The most unprocessed you can get in the soy family, I use this organic product as a base for all my \u201cMeat\u201d dishes: Pasta Bolognese, Stuffed Peppers, Lasagna and more. \xa0All of these recipes, which are available at http://ElysabethAlfano.com, are PERFECT dishes for the holidays. Lightlife tempeh, when seasoned and saut\xe9ed, makes a perfect meat base \u2013 if you are craving that kind of thing or if you want recipes that you grew up on, but without the meat. Plus, dishes like my plant-based Lasagna and Stuffed Peppers and are perfect for cooking for a group because they all freeze well.\xa0
And if you don\u2019t feel like cooking, Field Roast\u2019s Roast is also pretty delicious and, relatively speaking, a healthy alternative. Dig into this interview for some juicy inspiration!\xa0
