Yes, you read that right.
A new whole cut of a plant-based, pork-ish meat alternative has landed and it’s making big waves.
Please read below for the full story.
Juicy Marbles, those plant meat alchemists behind marbled vegan steaks and boneless ribs (yes, really), have done it again. Their latest creation is called Pork-ish and it’s just landed in more than 500 Tesco stores across the UK.
This is big. Massive, actually.
Pork-ish is part of their Meaty Meat line and it’s a thick, juicy slab of plant-based goodness, designed to be cooked up in minutes and served in all the ways you might remember from your pre-vegan days. Sliced, pulled, grilled, or whole. They’ve even gone deliberately ambiguous with the shape so it’s more like a plant-based blank canvas. Forget pork chops. This is the future.
The team at Juicy Marbles say they’re aiming for this to rival tofu as a kitchen staple.
It cooks in seven minutes. It’s got 20g of protein per 100g. It’s rich in things we all want more of like B12, iron and zinc.
If you’ve ever wanted to experiment with plant-based versions of pulled pork sandwiches, pork ramen, crispy pork bites or a Sunday roast with the lot, now is your moment.
You can find Meaty Meat Pork-ish now in the fridge section of Tesco. If you’re curious (and why wouldn’t you be?), now’s the time to get in there and try it.
Let me know what you make with yours. I’m picturing sticky glaze, fluffy rice, greens and maybe a side of kimchi.
