Minced meat
Minced meat is a versatile ingredient with a hearty, savoury flavour. It forms the base for numerous dishes such as meatballs, sauces, fillings, and casseroles. It is available as mixed mince (pork and beef), pure beef mince, or pork mince, but also from lamb or poultry.
Minced meat is used in a variety of recipes, often as the base for hearty main courses. It features in classic meatloaves, as a filling for vegetables like kohlrabi and peppers, and in casseroles and soups such as cheese and leek soup. It also appears in international dishes like Lasagne Bolognese or Yaki Udon. Typical accompaniments include onions, tomato purée, and spices like nutmeg and black pepper.
Vegetarian / vegan substitutes
For a vegetarian alternative to minced meat, lentils, mushrooms, or crumbled tofu can be used, offering a similar texture and satisfying feel. Plant-based mince made from soy or pea protein is also an excellent choice for many dishes like Bolognese or casseroles. For vegan cooking, lentils, mushrooms, or tofu are suitable, as are tempeh or finely grated vegetables (e.g., celeriac) for fillings or sauces.
