Hello,
I'm doing a Santa Maria style BBQ for our crew as part of an appreciation event. One of our crew members is vegan, and another is vegetarian. I have a few vegan options already planned, but I wanted to also provide a vegan option for the santa maria style beans. https://www.imhereforthebbq.com/santa-maria-style-pinquito-beans/
Obviously I need to sub the ham, bacon, and worcestershire. Do you have recommendations to add the umami and smoky flavors that these ingredients would bring? I was thinking that maybe dried porchini mushrooms would be an option, but I bet you have better suggestions.
Also, I know dark brown sugar isn't always vegan. Is there anythin else in the recipe that I need to be careful when buying?
Thanks
