Question:
How are vegetables sautéed or roasted without the use of oils or butter?
— Deborah Von Cannon
Answer:
So going back to the Rouxbe no
oil saute mushroom recipe
and Richard maybe you can find
that it's called no oil saute mushrooms on
our website and that
is the Holy Grail
for learning to cook without any added
oils as for the butter first of
all.
Even if you use Earth Balance or any of the other commercial
brands of quote vegan Butters,
they still contain nine grams
of fat per tablespoon. So when
you think about it a gram of
fat is a gram of fat so better to
stay away from that season, you are
vegetables with your favorite seasonings. I'm somebody
who buys nutritional yeast in bulk and
can make all kinds of things with
it and you know a few weeks ago. I
was doing a live event and when we were
growing up, my grandmother would make something that she called people's cheese
and some of you may know that my mother
was Italian and what
my grandmother used to do is save the heel the
end of the bread of Italian bread and she would
make it into breadcrumbs.
And then she would saute it and then would
put it on top of pasta or
whatever and she learned to make that during the Depression when
cheese wasn't available. So I often make a vegan
version of people cheese and
I will saute whole wheat bread crumbs
and add some nutritional yeast and black pepper
and it is so good to sprinkle on top of
a salad because it also adds a different kind of
texture once you apply your oil
