This week's Neighborhood Eats takes you to Ras Plant-Based in Brooklyn. They also have a location at Pier 57 in Manhattan.
Ras Plant-Based"We get a lot of meat eaters, carnivores, usually they're dragged by their friends because their friends are plant-based and when they try it, the comment I always hear is, if this is plant-based food is, then we can definitely go vegan. That's the greatest compliment I could ever get," said Romeo Regalli, Ras Plant Based.
"We are at Ras Plant-Based, an Ethiopian-inspired plant-based restaurant," he said. "What we wanted for people to feel when you're walking into Ras is so they think they're not in New York anymore, they're transported to Ethiopia directly.Traditionally, Dulet is made with liver and tripe. At Ras Plant Based, they make theirs with oyster mushrooms.
"This oil, grapeseed oil, but I spice it with the leaf I was telling you about earlier that my mom grows at home so it gives it a very buttery taste," he said."This dish is a lot of Ethiopians favorite dish when they come here because it reminds them of the dish they're used to growing up," Regalli said."A lot of our seasoning, if not most of our seasoning, comes directly from Ethiopia.
