On the one hand, offering meat to people who have consciously given it up is a bit of cheating. But that's the way our world works, even vegans miss stuffed peppers and homemade cutlets. I stuff peppers with plant-based minced high beef — in my opinion, this "meat" is the closest to the real thing I've tried. In addition, it's easier to create an even more authentic flavor from a plant-based substitute in the form of minced meat , adding lots of greens, cumin, smoked paprika, and coriander. The result is healthy food with a spicy Caucasian-Balkan accent. Recipe from Vladimir Chistyakov, chef of the Buro TSUM restaurant.
