It was dark and a little blank. Not our favorite in appearance or taste.
My first vegan meal it taste fantastic
I love the mushroom gravy, but my wheatballs were not successful. They fell apart. Any advice on how to ensure the balls are moist enough to not crumble?
Can you substitute panko for the bread crumbs?
Wow! Good info, Barbara about fresh vs dry herbs. Never knew this. Thank you!
If we want to replace fresh ingredients with shelf-stable ingredients, what measurements would you recommend?
If you are referring to the herbs use this rule. If using dry instead of fresh, always use 1/3 the amount. Dry herbs are much stronger than fresh. Same goes if a recipe calls for dry herbs. You can use 3 times a much fresh.
