This recipe is so exciting because it might be my best holiday roast ever. Yes, I have created an amazing vegan pork tenderloin. Yes, I have my puff pastry roast as well as the whole roasted cauliflower. These are both great options, but they are still vegetables. The OmniPork product line is a revolutionary new way for plant-based peeps to enjoy a meaty holiday feast at the centre of their festive tables.

This OmniPork grind was used to create this masterpiece. This is a plant-based, pork-style, ground product that uses a proprietary mix of proteins from non-GMO soybeans, non-GMO soy and shiitake mushrooms. It contains 11g protein per serving, and fiber! This pork tenderloin was stuffed with traditional holiday stuffing, which includes leeks, celery and potato. To get that perfect, sticky exterior, it is glazed with a sweet and smokey sauce. This holiday vegan pork tenderloin is best served with apple sauce.

OmniPork strips and ground can be purchased at Sprouts Farmers Markets, selected Whole Foods locations and through Shop Veiji. Locate the nearest OmniPork retailer to you!

Ingredients

OmniPork tenderloin

2 pkgs (10 oz/283g) Omni Pork ground. Thawed
Apple Sauce, for serving

holiday stuffing

2 tbsp olive oil
3/4 small cubed, peeled yellow potato (about one small potato)
2/3 C finely chopped leek
1/2 C finely chopped celery
1/2 C finely chopped shallot (about 1 shallot)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage
1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tsp fresh thyme
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 C vegetable stock
2 C store-bought stuffing bread mix
1/2 C dried cranberries

glaze

1/4 C pure cranberry juice
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp liquid smoke

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F
Heat olive oil in a large, cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potato, celery and shallot to the pan. Cook the leeks for 6 to 7 mins, or until fragrant.
Add vegetable stock, cranberries and stuffing mix. Mix well. Reduce heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid for 5 minutes to let most of the liquid evaporate and make the bread fluffy. While you make the OmniPork, turn off the heat and place the pan on the stove. At this stage, you can taste the OmniPork and adjust the salt or flavor to your liking. The potatoes will be only partially cooked, but they will continue to cook in the oven.
Place a piece aluminum foil of 20 inches in length x 12 inches high on the counter. Spray oil can be used to oil it or you can use your hands to apply olive oil to the surface. The OmniPork should be rolled into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. It should measure 13 x 8 x 8 inches in length. Spread it evenly using a spatula. The stuffing mixture should be placed in the middle, leaving approximately 1-inch pork on the top and bottom. There should also be about 1 1/2 inches on the sides. You can use the foil to roll the short end of the log until it becomes a log. You can roll the foil in the stuffing and pork, but not the foil. You can seal the pork using a spatula, your hands or your fingers. Seal the ends of foil as tightly as possible around the log. It's okay if some pork peeks out of the ends, but it shouldn't start oozing. You can seal the ends of the foil by folding it in half and pinching it together. This log foil should be placed seam-side up on a wire rack. Bake for 40 minutes.
Combine the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat on medium heat until it simmers. Allow it to simmer for 6 to 7 minutes, to thicken the glaze. Let it cool while you bake the tenderloin.
Take the pork tenderloin out of the oven. Unwrap the foil. It can be left on foil, or you can brush the glaze over it. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Continue baking until the glaze is baked in. Let the pork tenderloin rest for about 15 to 20 minutes before you slice and serve.
Serve the pork tenderloin and apple sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are plant-based diets eco-friendly?

Plant-based diets are becoming increasingly popular for their health and environmental benefits. Eating a plant-based diet can be more sustainable than consuming foods derived from animal sources, as it generally causes less pollution and has lower emissions of greenhouse gases. Plant-based diets also use less resources, as they are usually grown using fewer inputs than animals. Commercially raised animals often need large amounts of water, soil, and fossil fuels. As some environmental effects of livestock production have been linked to global warming, reducing consumption of these foods through introducing more plant-based meals into one's weekly rotation could help reduce an individual's carbon footprint and support healthier, more eco-friendly practices.

Can a plant-based diet cause harm?

While many people have reported health benefits from switching to a plant-based lifestyle, there are risks involved in any type of diet. People who transition to a more plant-based lifestyle must be aware of the importance of proper vitamin intake such as iron, B12 and omega 3 fatty acids. A diet lacking in these essential nutrients can lead to health issues and deficiencies. Additionally, following a purely vegan/plant-based lifestyle could mean cutting out valuable sources of protein found in dairy and eggs, which may hinder muscle maintenance. People who follow a plant-based diet must adapt their diets to meet their nutritional needs.

Is there any athlete or celebrity who advocates a plant-based diet for their health?

There are many celebrities and athletes who advocate a plant-based diet. Some of these include Kyrie, the NBA's player, Lewis Hamilton, the Formula 1 World Champion, Natalie Portman and Kenneth Farrow who are all NFL running backs. Each of them have chosen the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle because it was best for them and have had impressive achievements in their respective fields, whether they are athletes or artists. Actress Alicia Silverstone wrote a book called Kind Diet about her experience with veganism. Novak Djokovic, a professional tennis player, has attributed his success to his unusual habit of eating mostly organic vegan food during competitions. His stats have dramatically improved since he began this diet. The significant characteristics that all four professional athletes have identified include a greater energy level, faster healing from injuries, and improved health and wellbeing. This success story shows that plant-based nutrition can be a great tool to help athletes achieve greater athleticism.

Can I eat eggs while following a plant-based lifestyle?

A plant-based diet does not allow eggs. This diet eliminates all animal products including eggs, meat, fish, poultry and fish. Many vegan options exist for traditional egg-centric dishes, and they offer the same texture and flavor without using animal products. Tofu scrambles and omelets are great breakfast options that have the same appearance and texture as eggs. They also provide plant-based protein. Chickpea flour and mashed banana can be used to replace eggs in baked goods. Aquafaba, which is the liquid in chickpea cans, can also be used as an alternative to eggs when making meringues and other desserts. Flaxseed meal or Chia seeds mixed with water can be used as an egg substitute to preserve non-vegan dishes without compromising their taste.

Can you build muscles on a plant-based food?

Yes, it is possible build muscle by eating a plant-based food. It is possible to build muscle on a vegetarian diet. However, the type of foods one consumes plays the biggest role in muscle strength and size. High-protein plant-based foods may include legumes (beans/lunch/peas), seitan, nuts and nutritional yeast. A well-balanced plant-based diet, when combined with regular exercise and proper vitamin and mineral supplementation, can help you achieve your fitness goals and promote better overall health. It is important to prioritize whole food sources over processed foods that are full of harmful additives or preservatives. A steady increase in protein is necessary, so make sure to include foods like quinoa or flaxseed and nut oils into your daily food plan. A nutritionist that specializes in plant-based nutritional can help you gain muscle mass, or to maintain your current body and health.

Is a plant based diet the same thing as a vegan?

No, a plant-based diet is not the same as a vegan diet. A plant-based eating plan is one that focuses on whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes. While this eating plan may not allow for the consumption of meat and dairy, small amounts of animal proteins might be allowed. On the other hand, veganism is an ethical lifestyle choice that involves following a completely plant-based diet and avoiding things like clothing or cosmetics made with animal products. Although vegans may also choose to adopt a plant based diet as part their lifestyle, they are separate concepts.

How To

How to move to a plant diet without feeling overwhelmed

Making the transition to a plant-based diet can be overwhelming at first - however, with adequate preparation and education, it is achievable. Take baby steps and slowly incorporate changes into your diet. Whole foods are better than processed ones, and they tend to be healthier and more satisfying.

Dedication is key to successful meal prep and planning. It's important to plan ahead so you can know what you need and how much time you have to spend on each dish. You can simplify your kitchen by investing in multi-cookers or slow cookers. Batch cooking will allow you to prepare multiple meals at once.

Keep trying new flavors and try them out. Try different cuisines to add variety to your vegetarian diet. Aim to create a grocery list based on recipes instead of relying on impulse shopping at the grocery store. With the right ingredients and preparation tips, making the switch will become easier over time!
