Co-op created its first-ever Vegan Roasting Joint for the holidays, which comes in a package that serves two people. The meatless holiday dish is made with a base of seitan, prepared from wheat gluten, and mimics the taste and texture of meat. The festive, flavored seitan dish boasts an apricot and cranberry stuffing at its center, plus a meat-free, smoky outer layer that mimics bacon wrapping. The plant-based dish is the perfect size to feed those who are looking forward to enjoying an alternative to meat during their holiday gatherings.
For the holidays, many retailers and brands are offering meatless menus to cater to consumers who are passionate about reducing their environmental impact, concerned about animal welfare or interested in healthier eating choices.
