Beet and Mushroom Miso Ragù

Faux meat products are increasingly popular, yet they often include a laundry list of highly processed ingredients. Here a few readily available ingredients are transformed into an umami-packed mixture similar to ground meat, which becomes the base for a pasta sauce that mimics the depth of a long-simmered beef ragù. The versatile combination could also be spun into veggie burgers or meatballs or used as a lasagna filling. Don’t worry if it seems like a lot of oil—it’s necessary for proper caramelization of the beet-mushroom mix.
