  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup tomato chopped
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy cream or non-dairy sour cream or non-dairy yogurt
  • 1/4 cup vegan cheese such as a mix of mozzarella and parmesan or just parmesan

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and the 1/8 teaspoon salt. Mix and cook until the onion is translucent. Add splashes of water to help the onion cook evenly, 5 to 6 minutes. Then, add in the mushrooms, walnuts, fennel seeds, herbs, and tomato paste, mixing well. Add splashes of the water to help the tomato paste mix in. Continue to cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture is drying out a little bit, and the mushrooms are cooked. This walnut mushroom mixture is your umami filled vegan sausage-y crumble.
  2. Add the tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes. Then, add in the vegan cream, cheese, salt, and the rest of the water, and mix well. Bring to a boil, then mix in the beans. Mix in the sun dried tomato and spinach, cover with the lid, and let it simmer for 5 minutes or so. 
  3. Open the lid, then adjust the consistency, adding more water if you want it saucier. Taste and adjust salt and flavor, then switch off the heat. Top with the fresh herbs, vegan parmesan, and pepper flakes. Serve with sourdough or garlic bread or over pasta or a baked potato.
