Suggestions and helpful
hints for using AuraPro with your recipes |
|
| |
• |
AuraPro comes frozen and
it is best to thaw it in the refrigerator, keeping it cold until
cooking. This will give you a better texture. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
• |
You may want to oil or
wet your hands in cold water when making patties and other forms. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
• |
AuraPro is soft when cold,
firm when warm. Keep this in mind when cooking. It is a low
fat food and requires oil or water when you handle it. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
• |
AuraPro is firmer with
less moisture in it and softer with more moisture in it. Baking,
sautéing, poaching and steaming all affect the moisture
and texture, so you may have to experiment with it. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
• |
Oil the outside of AuraPro
when placing it on the grill or spray the grill. When baking,
oil the pan. We spray burgers, breast shapes, medallions and
patties prior to grilling. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
• |
AuraPro requires about
half the cooking time as meat (thawed) and about 10% less time
when cooking from a frozen state. Be sure not to overcook, as
it will dry out. It’s a good idea to cover AuraPro loosely
when cooking in an oven. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
• |
We do not use egg yolks
because they’re unnecessary and make the dishes too soft.
Nor do we incorporate bread crumbs (except in recipes for crab
cakes), as they compromise the texture of the product. If you
want to incorporate vegetables in your recipes, use roasted
vegetables, or raw vegetables sparingly. Raw vegetables release
a lot of moisture, which softens the product. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
• |
Use fresh herbs and spices
as you would in a recipe made with animal proteins. For salts
and peppers, use 15-30% less in comparison to meat recipes. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
• |
In casseroles where sauces,
fresh vegetables, pastas, etc. are used in combinations, remember
that the vegetable protein is dense and will take up some moisture.
For example, in lasagna, you do not have to squeeze out the
spinach nearly as much. Or, you may want your tomato sauce to
have more liquid so your casserole won’t be too dry. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
• |
Any stuffed fresh vegetable
is great for AuraPro hot appetizers because the vegetable provides
moisture and flavor when baked. |

Some serving
suggestions:
Chili: We sauté the ground burger and add it to the chili
last. This way it maintains a nice texture and stays chunky.
For a lower fat version, spread the ground burger on an oiled
sheet pan and cook it for 15 minutes, then crumble it into the
chili while it is still warm.
Meat Loaf: We find that adding dehydrated onions and peppers
and glazing the meat loaf is a wonderful approach to great and
easy meat loaf. If you are using fresh vegetables, cook them
first. They will release moisture into the meat loaf and make
it soft.
Chicken: This is easily formed into little nuggets, strips and
patties or any shape you want. We form it into a breast shape
and slice it from there. Keeping everything cold will ensure
the best texture. It can be fried, sautéed, baked, steamed
and even poached.
Crab: Just make your favorite crab cakes for appetizers or for
crab cake sandwiches.
Pork: Spread it onto a sheet pan and bake it at 375 for 15-20
minutes. Shred it while warm and cover it with your favorite
BBQ sauce for a great sandwich. It can also be spread out and
shaped into a tenderloin, stuffed or plain. Just baste, season
and bake.
Sausages: AuraPro Meat-Free sausages are lightly flavored and
can be used as traditional sausage for patties, stuffed into
mushrooms, on pizza (Italian) and in many other sauces and stuffings.
