When the Vegan Meat Tastes Like the Real Deal

Middle Eastern food is hands down one of my favorites. I love how nuanced certain dishes can be depending on the geography of where someone is from within the region. I noticed this a lot with meat kebabs and began to order this dish at every Middle Eastern restaurant, from Lebanese to Persian. Like any food I enjoy at a restaurant, I always like to take some time to try and figure out how to recreate it in my own home. After a couple of times of making beef kebabs, I felt like I finally got the flavors down.

Because I want everyone to be able to indulge in my favorite dish, I took advantage of Impossible beef now being available in grocery stores, and adapted my beef kebab recipe to be totally vegan! This meat substitute is a lifesaver if you’re looking for a hearty alternative. The scientists at Impossible Foods have really made a product that is wonderfully close to real ground beef, opening up the idea of veganism to a wider group of people.

These Impossible beef kebabs are extremely flavorful and taste just like the real thing. I season them with diced onion and fresh parsley, along with fragrant spices like turmeric and sumac. I chose to serve the kebabs with some easy roasted tomatoes and white rice, two things I noticed came with many different renditions of kebabs I’ve encountered out at a restaurant.

If you’re looking for something “saucy” to add, this meal would probably taste amazing with a little dollop of hummus or tahini. I haven’t tried it personally, but can you ever go wrong by adding hummus to anything? Enjoy this filling plant-based meal that’ll keep you going at 22 grams of protein per serving – the perfect meal to make on a night where you have a little extra time, instead of popping a meal from our vegan meal delivery in the microwave.
