This crumble is one of my favorite items to use in place of meat. The crumble is great with a myriad of spices + herbs and perfect for topping salads, grain bowls, or even nachos.

Tips & Tricks: I like to lightly toast pecans in a dry skillet. Add the nuts to the skillet over medium-low heat. Shake the pan and let the pecans toast until fragrant. 

You could make this sauce ahead of time and assemble when ready to eat.
