I love walnut 'taco meat' - I've used it to actually make vegetarian tacos, but it's also useful for other things too! Here I used it to make a simple vegetarian spaghetti bolognese.

I usually use beef-style soy mince in my bolognese, but I loved this less processed version even more. The mushrooms give a bit of chewiness, and the coarsely ground walnuts make sure the mixture has a bit of bite. They're cooked in with the tomatoes, so they're not completely crunchy, but definitely give you something to sink your teeth into. Plus it only takes 20 minutes to make!

Then just grab a fork and dig in...

Ingredients

▢ 1 tablespoon oil
▢ 1/2 onion diced
▢ 2 cloves garlic minced
▢ 3 medium mushrooms diced fairly small
▢ 100 g walnuts
▢ 3 large tomatoes diced
▢ 100 g cherry tomatoes ~12, halved
▢ 100 ml vegetable stock ~ 1/3 cup
▢ 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
▢ Black pepper
▢ 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
▢ To serve: spaghetti optional, grated cheese

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and add the onion, garlic and mushrooms. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft.
Meanwhile, add the walnuts to a food processor, and pulse a few times until the walnuts are coarsely ground.
Add the walnuts to the mushroom mixture, along with the remaining ingredients. Turn the heat up a little, and simmer gently for around 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have broken down and the mixture is at your desired consistency. Serve with spaghetti and grated cheese if desired.
