Benefits of Meatless Diets
There are tremendous ramifications on the environment and animals under the use of a meatless diet. Meat production, especially beef, is related to substantial greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation and significant water loss. By opting for plant-based meals, individuals can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to the conservation of vital natural resources.
Furthermore, embracing a meatless lifestyle supports ethical practices by reducing the demand for industrial animal farming, which is often criticized for inhumane conditions and practices. This transition not only leads to a healthier planet but also supports the animal products industry which respects living organisms.
Apart from environmental and moral benefits, diets without meat have a number of positive influences on health. As a rule, meals containing products of plant origin are usually rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, but low in saturated fats, which contributes to better overall heart condition and lowers the risks of developing chronic pathologies such as diabetes and some types of cancer.
Additionally, many find that meatless diets can contribute to better digestion and increased energy levels. Focusing on different fruits, vegetables, legumes and consuming whole grains assures individuals a healthy diet, full of all the necessary nutrients. Transitioning to vegetarian diets, whether partially or completely, can offer a healthier approach to life and a sense of wholesomeness.

Chop the leek in a food processor and add it to the mixture. Add the rest of the ingredients: breadcrumbs, garlic, almond butter, baking powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.
Heat oil to a height of about 1 cm. (half deep fry) in a large skillet.
In the meantime, wet your hands and form round and flat meatballs. Fry for a few minutes on each side until nicely golden-brown; place on a colander or a frying basket to drain excess oil and serve.
Serve this Fishfree Patties warm, at room temperature, or cold. They are also great in a sandwich with mayo, lettuce, and pickles.
Recipe 2: Vegan Meat Patties In Red Wine and Thyme
Ingredients
Patties – About 12 patties
- One pack Beefree Mixture
- 300 gram(10.7oz) water
- 70 gram (2.5 oz) olive oil
- 1 large leek, finely chopped without the green leaves
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Tablespoon almond butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ground black pepper by taste
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- pinch chili flakes
- flour*** only if needed, see notes
- ½ – ⅓ cup olive oil for frying the patties an amount that covers the skillet bottom
Red Wine
- 1 cup red dry wine such as cabernet sauvignon
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions:
Mix all the ingredients for the patties in a bowl except the wine and additional dried thyme. Mix well until you get a uniform mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Heat the oil in a wide skillet. The oil should cover the bottom in a thin layer.
Using wet hands, form patties (not balls) and fry in the hot oil on both sides until nicely golden. If the oil is too hot, lower the heat.
Remove the golden patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
Add the wine and thyme to the pan. Please note: the oil left in the pan may splash out, depending on how much oil remains. It’s safer to remove the pan from the heat before adding the wine and cool it a little – or lower the heat and add the wine when the pan is partially covered – using the lid as a shield from splashing.
Return the patties to the pan, cover, and cook on medium-low heat (a gentle simmer) for about 10 minutes. Remove the lid, increase the heat and cook for a few more minutes until the liquids evaporate almost entirely and only a layer of oil remains at the bottom of the pan. Serve with mashed potatoes and parsley. Tip: a tasty, crispy, or slightly liquid layer remains in the pan – (depending on the steaming time). You can pour or sprinkle it on the mashed potatoes.
