After 5 test batches, I finally cracked the code! 🎉 In this video, I share my recipe for a healthy, sliceable, and delicious plant-based deli meat made from hemp seeds and moong dal. This base recipe is:
✅ Gluten-free
✅ Soy-free (when using coconut aminos or soy-free “soy” sauce))
✅ Nut-free
✅ Vegan
✅ Moist and sliceable — just like real deli meat!
You’ll see the full process — from my early “flops” to the final perfected loaf — and learn how to make a versatile base deli meat that can be enjoyed hot or cold, in sandwiches, wraps, salads, or on its own.
This is Part 1 of my Healthy Vegan Deli Meat Series. In upcoming episodes, I’ll show you how to turn this base recipe into flavorful variations like:
🥩 Pastrami
🐖 Ham
🌶️ Salami
🦃 Turkey
🔥 Pepperoni
If you’ve been searching for an allergen-friendly plant-based deli meat that tastes amazing and holds up to slicing, this recipe is for you. 🌱✨
