Sliders Sans Meat...but we promise you won't miss the beef! Chef Alvaro Lima stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about his mushroom-beet sliders. Alvaro told Tonia he roasts the beets, and pulverizes them in a food processor, and combines them with delicious mushrooms and potatoes for a tasty, high protein snack. Chef Lima says he uses Hellman's Vegan Mayonnaise to help flavor these sliders, which he says is not only delicious, but really cuts down on food waste.
It's called Sesame Tahani...and Chef George Duran who's ABC's Good Morning America Food Contributor says if you give it a chance, it can also be your new mayonnaise, with practically none of the nutritional issues the venerable condiment currently has. Chef George stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about how great Sesame Tahani actually is. He puts on burgers, spreads it on toast and uses it in place of where you put peanut butter or mayo. The reason he can do that, he told Tonia, is because Sesame Tahani offers a creamy texture with something of a Mediterranean flavor profile that really sings with ground beef. And it still offers a somewhat nutty texture as well. Chef George says when put it on a burger, those who have not had it yet will really be surprised at how good it is!
