Meatless Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Vegan Take on the Popular Dish is Made Using Lentils

— August 4, 2016 — Lifestyle
This meatless version of pulled pork sandwiches is creatively made by subbing in lentils as the main source of protein. The dish retains the same flavors and a similar texture to the traditional pulled pork version, only that it is altered to suit vegan and vegetarian diets.

The dish features green lentils that are marinated in coconut sugar, paprika, garlic and a vegan barbecue sauce. The lentils take on the color of the paprika and barbecue sauce, turning an orange shade that is similar to the look of shredded pork. The dish is then topped with all the staple fixings of cabbage and shredded carrots marinated in a light olive oil dressing and piled high on a bun.

Despite the lack of meat, the vegan pulled pork sandwiches offer a healthier alternative to the flavor and protein content of the original dish.
Trend Themes
1. Meatless Pulled Pork - Opportunity to develop plant-based alternatives to traditional meat dishes.
2. Vegan Barbecue - Potential for innovative vegan sauces and marinades to mimic traditional flavors.
3. Alternative Protein - Growing market for plant-based protein sources as a substitute for meat.
Industry Implications
1. Food Manufacturing - Creating new plant-based products to cater to the growing demand for vegan and vegetarian options.
2. Ingredient Suppliers - Opportunity to develop and supply alternative protein sources like lentils and other plant-based ingredients.
3. Fast Food Chains - Innovating by introducing meatless options that replicate the taste and texture of traditional meat dishes.
