Veggie alternative for beef mince

[EttasEden]

Just that really, I don't eat red meat anymore (only chicken once a week) I've found an excellent sausage alternative which taste the same - Richmond meat free. But now need to find a veggie mince version which tastes similar to beef mince. Any advice would be great, really missing chilli con carne, cottage pie and spag bol. Thanks

Can help with the artificial ones but it you are feeling adventurous this is what I use:
a firm tofu block, soy sauce, nutritional yeast and liquid smoke flavour.

Pour 3 or 4 soy sauce tbl in a mixing bowl, add 2 tbl of nutritional yeast and 1/2 tsp of liquid smoke, mix well. Then dry the tofu with kitchen paper and hold it in one hand and with a fork in the other dig holes in the tofu, crumbling it on top of the bowl, gently mix with the soy paste and lay flat on an oven tray to bake in oven. Use as mince

Soya and Quorn don't work for me,they have the wrong mouth feel.
I don't try to pretend and use puy or speckled lentils which hold their shape.Good for chilli and Bolognais and probably for cottage pie.I make a veggie version of cottage pie(red dragon pie)with aduki beans .

Naked Glory mince is really great (I get it in Sainsbury's). It's got a lovely flavour and I think a similar texture to beef mince. It's usually important to season veggie mince well though. I'd recommend Worcestershire sauce (veggie versions are available), chipotle sauce and BBQ sauce to give a deeper, richer flavour.

Brown lentils are great, just boil with veggie stock and add seasoning that suits the recipe...eg. Italian seasoning for spaghetti bolognese. Very cheap to.
