The biggest barrier I face in having fully vegan meals isn't meat, it's butter, lard, and other such flavorful fats. And flavor wise, I'm not okay with just using vegetable oil for everything. Neutral oil leads to neutral flavor. What oil do you guys add to your beans?
olive oil and sesame oil are the big ones for me. I do a lot of frying root vegetables and serving them with pasta, where olive oil can be used to fry the veg and/or drizzled over the pasta, and making asian-ish soups, to which I add sesame oil just before serving.
toasted sesame oil is goated
