Smoky Beyond Mince Quesadilla


Smoky Beyond Mince Quesadilla is a recipe from Beyond Meat. 

You may well have tried non-meat mince before but unless you have tried Beyond Meat mince (or their Meatballs or their Sausages) then you haven't really lived. 

Yes, they are jam-packed with protein and are plant-based so good for the environment and great for vegans and vegetarians, but they are also utterly delicious and making a positive impact on omnivorous eaters, too! Exchanges like "What? Are you sure this isn't meat?" "Yes! I'm sure!" are taking place.

We have a recipe from Beyond Meat for Smoky Beyond Mince Quesadilla.

It serves 4 takes 15 minutes to prepare and the cooking time is an hour.

The ingredients you require are 300g of Beyond Mince

8 wheat tortillas

2tsp of fajita seasoning

200g of grated plant-based smoky cheese 

4 mixed coloured peppers, de-seeded and halved.

Directions

Pre-heat your oven to 200c or 180c fan over, or mark 6 for gas.

Place the peppers in a roasting dish and drizzle them, with an oil of your choice. Roast them in the oven for 30 minutes or until they are softened.

Heat a large frying pan and fry the mince with the fajita seasoning, for approximately eight minutes until cooked through. Then set aside.

Remove the peppers from the oven and roughly chop them.

Heat a clean frying pan and add one of the tortilla wraps. Sprinkle a little of the grated cheese over it , then spread a quarter of the mince and peppers, making sure to create an even layer. Sprinkle with a little more of the cheese then top with a second tortilla wrap. Press down and cook foe 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is a lovely golden colour. Remove from the pan, keep warm and repeat until all the tortillas are used up.

Cut into wedges and serve.   

This was 100% absolutely delicious and we can heartily recommend it.

Would you buy plant-based foods blended with cultivated meat? one third of people 'probably would'

Blending plant-based and cultivated meat products represents a great opportunity to produce tasty, healthy, sustainable and ethical food products and, according to a report by ProVeg International, consumers are very open to buying such hybrid foods.

“Knowing taste and health are two of the most important purchase drivers when it comes to plant-based foods, hybrid plant-based/cultivated food products do show a strong potential to respond to consumer demand,” Mathilde Alexandre, Senior Project Manager at ProVeg International, said. 

So, how do consumers perceive hybrid plant-based/cultivated food products? 

ProVeg International conducted an online survey among 1,000 participants in the UK last July to gauge how consumers might perceive hybrid products. 

A spokesperson for ProVeg International said: "It's encouraging to see over one third of respondents would 'probably' or 'definitely' buy and eat hybrid plant-based/cultivated meat porducts.

"30% of respondents are unsure whether they would eat or buy hybrid plant-based/cultivated meat, meaning there's still plenty of room to inform the public about what these food products are and their benefits to positively influence them."

Respondents expect hybrid plant-based/cultivated meat to be good for animals (57%) and the environment (57%), nutritious (54%), healthy (50%) and safe (50%).

Age, gender, and level of education are demographic factors that play a role in people’s willingness to buy and eat hybrid plant-based/cultivated meat. 

Overall, university-educated Millennials and Gen Z men are more open to hybrid plant-based/cultivated meat. 51% of university-educated men up to 45 years old (Millennials and Gen Z) would probably or definitely eat hybrid plant-based/cultivated meat. 

47% of university-educated men up to 45 years old (Millennials and Gen Z) would probably or definitely buy hybrid plant-based/cultivated meat. 

Dr Chris Bryant, an alternative proteins expert, said: "It's encouraging to see so many consumers would be open to buying and eating hybrid plant-based/cultivated meat products. 

"Many are even anticipating eating such products on at least a weekly basis. As with other similar products, we see the highest appeal to younger, more educated consumers, and overall, we see quite high expectations for the quality of such products."
