I’ve started cooking some red lentils in some beef stock, adding them and some breakcrumbs to mince meat to pad the meat out a bit (and hide some extra veg in the meat). With meatballs you cant even tell the difference. What are some of your hacks/tips/tricks?

    fancy Heinz beans

    As in baked beans? How do you do them in the jaffle without making lava! Any time I’ve tried a baked bean toastie its ended with sauce covering every inch of the house, and a filling so hot in china syndromes through the core of the earth. Also whats TVP in the loaded fries? But yeah they all sound like winners I’d love to hear more!

      Thank you!

      hot lava tostie

      Jaffle iron is required to seal it in, and you only need a tablespoon and a half of beans. Many people go overboard, this ain’t toastface over here.

      TVP

      Textured Vegetable Protein is defatted soymeal (the byproduct of soy oil production) and can be used as a mince substitute. Cheap and easy to hydrate.

      I reckon if you reduce the amount of liquid (sauce) you add in with the beans, it will retain its structure much better. Get the beans out on a spoon, let the sauce run off them a bit back into the can, add beans to the bread, repeat.
