      If your fake meat products are tasting like crap then chances are it's cause no one is seasoning the fake meat products at any point... or much worse; they're not using msg (or a naturally occurring source of msg so they can claim no msg added 9.9).
      MSG makes the fake meat taste truly meaty.

      Mushrooms would definitely work better as they have a natural umami flavor that will give that meatyness flavor.
      Carrots with msg added would be similar, but the texture of the mushrooms should give a better mouthfeel.

      Mushrooms are the best meat substitute I've ever tried.
      Best vegan dish I ever ate was faux beef in black bean and the mushrooms had the texture, look and flavour of beef.
      Sadly, They're all secretive of how exactly they do it, Save for saying it's a process of de and re hydrating the mushrooms as well as dicing them to an almost pudding consistency, Which is how they are able to shape it.
      The only real give away that it's vegan is there is no I guess fat in the "meat" but I can't explain what I mean by that very well lol

    One time i accidentally left a bag of frozen carrots in the freezer for way too long, they got super freezer burnt. I melted them just to check them out and they were tough and chewy and really porous, in retrospect they might have made an interesting meat substitute after seasoning. Freezing the water out of them did quite strange things to the texture, might be worth experimenting with
    Getting them pretty pepperoni like should be doable, pepperoni gets almost none of its flavor from the meat, being so heavily spiced. Like I think vegan chorizo is kind of better than meat chorizo, they've got the exact same flavor anyway. Maybe try a more traditional pepperoni spice blend? I think the mustard seed and paprika are probably fairly important

    I don't think you'd actually want to go this far, but I imagine you could grind up some carrots and avocados, put the appropriate spices in the mix and extrude it into some vegan sausage casings. Also, if the saltiness isn't quite right, you might want to try a bit of nitrate salt for preserving meat. It makes most things taste like pepperoni.

    I've found that cooking vegetables before dehydrating them makes them a lot better at being reconstituted.

    Something interesting (because who doesn’t like learning new things?), pepperoni in many European languages refers to a type of chilli or bell pepper- what you’re making here would be called “salami”.
    This was wonderfully demonstrated when a colleague of mine visited Italy on a work trip. He’s the kind of “a meal isn’t a meal unless it has meat, vegetarians aren’t real people and deserve ridicule” kind of blokes. He ordered a pepperoni pizza and was mortified when it was just cheese and bell pepper!

    For example, this episode could have been called Credible Pepperoni Offer. Another day you try to make some sort of alcohol mixed drink and call it "The John Warosa" or maybe some kind of movie time snack with Vienna sausages and potato wedges and call it the Genaro Fries.

    I really enjoyed this! If you do any future experiments I have a few ideas.
    Pepperoni is brimming with umami flavours. It is also very fatty and salty. Fat isn't flavoursome in itself but it helps to carry all these flavours effectively, so while pepperoni isn't very healthy it gives an intense flavour hit. For the next batch of carrots you could try:
    Salting the carrots a bit more heavily. I would recommend using smoked salt and MSG (to fake that natural glutamate taste) and/or adding some liquid smoke. I would also just use normal paprika as well as smoked as they do have a different taste. If you can't get MSG then Knorr Aromat seasoning is available really easily from any supermarket (small yellow/red tin).
    Drying the carrots out a bit less, then marinading them in oil so that they take up some of the oil. You could add chilli, salt, white pepper, garlic and smoked paprika to this oil.
    Great channel, subbed.

    Could you try it again, but this time using the stalks, and discs cut from Horse or Portobello, or giant puffball (if you can find them) mushrooms? I'm sure you'd be able to fabricate a 'Mushroom punch' of a suitable diameter. Might be an interesting experiment - the meatiness of the mushrooms might give a more convincing 'mouth feel' than the fibrous root material of the carrots.

    @Atomic Shrimp- Hey my names Mike and I'm from Maryland over here in the United States. I was going to suggest you try an Maryland breakfast sometime and make a video on cooking it and your reaction to taste exc... Would really appericate it if you just think about it cause what I'm about to tell you is amazing :) lol. First you start off with 2 potatoes(wash dont peel) then you cut them up into small cube shapes. The smaller the better simply because they cook faster. Next you cook them half way done, at this point u toss in butter or oil( your preference) along with Freshly sliced up Onions, Green Bell Peppers, Red Peppers and mushrooms are optional. But in a pan with the potatoes an butter and all the other ingredients simply cook until they're brown and then strain out the butter and put the food into a bowl covered with a paper towel to absorb all the extra oil or butter. Seasons we use during this process are Seasoning Salt, Freshly ground pepper, pinch of basil and parsley, as well as a pinch of sea salt. For the eggs you must cook them so the yolks are still runny cause when eating everything the yolks are good for toast and the potatoes. And of course you need bacon as well to complete it as well as 2 prices of toast cut into 4 price with butter. Yes it's not a healthy breakfast lol but it's one you will not regret. So it's Potatoes( with onions, green an red peppers) eggs with the yolks runny, toast and bacon. So good and even if you dont record a video please try once you shall not be disappointed lol.

    Rather than just slicing the carrot you may get a better texture by coarsely grating it, mixing with other ingredients like chilli and garlic, then forming it into sausages to be sliced.
    There is a carrot based Turkish sweet called Cezerye [the 'C' is pronounced as J is in English]. It consists of caramelised carrot paste sometimes mixed with hazelnuts, pistachios or walnuts. When I bought some the shop had it in a mound that slices were cut from and dipped in desiccated coconut so that the pieces will not stick together.

    Three points:
    1. A beet root might work better for this, as its slices can have a larger diameter than a carrot.
    2. It probably needs more fat of some sort. There should probably be a lot of oil in the marinade and little to no water, so that the final product doesn't dry out too much while baking.
    3. Powdered dry mushrooms or liquid from reconstituting dried mushrooms have a rather meaty flavour, along with the soya sauce, chilli, dry garlic, smoked paprika, and MSG. All of the best fake meat recipes contain mushrooms. However, I think powdered mushrooms are the way to go, because of point 2: the marinade should be primarily oil based, not water based. To make a completely oil-based marinade, it might be worth considering replacing soya sauce with Marmite or some other fermented product.
    These are all just my guesses, though.

    I've used a potato peeler on carrots along the length, then fried them to make "bacon"
    It's not bacon, but it's not bad!

    Okay, so rather than marinating, I would try: dried carrot chips, sauteed in oil and smoked paprika. You're not getting the gratuitous greasiness of pepperoni, otherwise...

    to get a similar texture, you would need to introduce similar fat percentage into them. maybe you could play around with avocados, but i dont think anything without equal protein like meat will get close. nice alternative to the same old pizza toppings anyway! 🍕

    I would guess the second set of carrots would pick up the spices tastes better. If you think about, the carrots are like a sponge. Drying them up first would be akin to squeezing the sponge and getting rid of all the water before soaking it in something else. The first set of carrots wouldn't absorb as much because they're already full of water when you marinated them.

    Try grilling, smoking, or otherwise cooking the carrots before and other process. You would have more of a pepperoni chewiness and add that smoky flavour (if either boiled with liquid smoke or smoked over hardwood). Also, my night job is at a restaurant in New York. We sell pizza. The pizza cook would go mad if I showed him this "pizza baguette" with vegan "cheese". I was thinking about sending it to him for a laugh, but I'm afraid he'd never be able to look me in the eye again.

  • @kensmith5694
    @kensmith5694 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You may want to try: dry, then soak then dry. Perhaps there could be more repeats but the idea is to dry it enough that the surface is no longer wet and the flavor has been forced in more.

    Interesting! I've only seen carrots used successfully as a substitute for salmon, and in the really realistic carrot, potato and cashew cheeze sauce. Also, if it's properly done, a reasonable tasting "hot dog". The best pepperoni I've ever tasted is made with mushrooms, gluten free flour and soy, by our very own Romeo and Vera Vegan Butcheries, originally from the Congo, and whose products really need to be franchised and distributed worldwide!
