Since I'm not looking for a healthy alternative, it would be deep fried or pan fried, depending on how well it holds up. It could conceivably make a decent fried "burger" type meat, or alternatively a crumbled replacement for hamburger. It could make a decent potato casserole type dish even if it fell apart.Sapphire Lightning wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 1:17 am How would you get the peanut protein to bind and form a single mass?
I looove cashews, but to me they are a sweet legume. (I don't eat many sweets..) Maybe pressing them thin and seasoning with savory herbs would work. I think they'd need high heat to crisp them a bit.Sapphire Lightning wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 1:17 am I am curious, as it would be interesting to make a homemade cashew mock meat.
(separate note related to OP, buy boiled green peanuts (small can) add 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tbsp cayenne, 2 tsp oregano, 2 tbsp red pepper flakes/or less depending on your spice preference, bring to boil on high for two minutes, reduce heat to med-low, simmer three hours. Perfect cajun style boiled peanuts.)
