Here is a great place to start your transition to a WFPB (Whole Food Plant-Based) diet – a simple ground beef alternative made of only three ingredients – cauliflower, mushrooms, and walnuts.

The 7 minute video below shows you how to make it:

Here is a simple Bolognese recipe using the result:

1. In a food processor, chop / combine the following:

• Grated carrots ~ 1 cup
• Onion – 1 medium
• Garlic – 3 cloves

2. Chop into small pieces (almost any vegetable works . . .):

• Red pepper – 1
• Green beans – 1 cup
• Kale or other leafy green stems (optional) ½ cup

Instructions

It is suggested to do this in 2 stages: Making ground beef (as per the video above) & using it in a recipe.

1. Put items (1) and (2) in a large stainless steel pan
2. Add 1 cup steamed mushrooms (optional)
3. Add approximately 2 cups pasta sauce
