These ham rolls check all the boxes. Taste. Texture. Reasonably priced.
We've used this ham in several ways, and it's great in a variety of dishes. Our go-to meal is to make a ham-and-potato hash, cutting this ham into little cubes the same size as potatoes, adding various spices, and calling it a brunch meal. It's one of my husband's favorite dishes. We also sliced it to make 'ham'-and-'cheese' melt sandwiches (with Chao for the cheese slices) - also delicious. Highly recommended! It would be bland on its own, but works really well for cooking into other dishes.
Have bought this multiple times now. We don't eat a lot of "meat replacements" but it's got a great texture and is so versatile. Pan fried, great in soups, etc. It doesn't have a lot of flavor on it's own but soaks up the flavors around it. First time we had it gave some to our son who is a meat eater. Just pan fried with a little salt/pepper and then topped with hot sauce when serving. He out ate everyone at the table and he rarely approves of any meat alternatives.
Frying this up, I thought the texture was spot on, but it tasted kinda weird. But then I marinated it for a couple of days in a mixture of spices and Louisiana Hot Sauce, and then fried it with vegan butter and molasses. The result was excellent! Tasted almost exactly like cajun ham.
We cooked half-inch slices until they were browned two ways: grilled, which made them crisper on the edges, and in an old heavy seasoned pan -- no oil or added seasonings for us, but you can brush them with your favorite oil and/or herbs and condiments -- we let them get very browned because this is what we prefer, but you can stop the process at any time. The result was delicious. We liked them equally. We enjoyed them with organic unsweetened apple sauce and steamed organic carrots and organic spinach. Another time, we pan-seared -- again without oil but you can brush with oil -- very thin slices which we let get very charred and crisp -- we folded the slices which crumbled nicely into baked potato with a yummy result. We added a little freshly ground mixed organic peppercorns just because we love them. You can also fold in a little mustard. What else would work: strips stir fried in vegan oyster (cruelty-free with mushrooms) sauce with green and red peppers and your favorite kind of onion for stir fry (or try a different kind of onion for a change), Also bake slices with a balsamic glaze -- we are planning to try this -- google "vegan balsamic glaze" for a nifty variety. Very simply cookery here -- easy and uncomplicated preparation. A little ingenuity. Wonderful eating. This loaf is a keeper.
