A Veggie Twist on Laarb

On the way to the store, I called him for the ingredients. At the end of our conversation, I mentioned I was trying it all with some fake meat — tofu grounded up to look like beef. I imagined the look of disbelief on his face.
Here’s my vegetarian version of my Dad’s Laarb. I used Morning Star’s grilled beef starter. I could totally taste the difference between ground beef and this substitute because I knew what was going into the dish. But I’d love to do a blind taste test some day and see if my palate knows the difference.
