Umeboshi plums, miso, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, seaweed, tamari and soy sauce, nutritional yeast...
I'm sure there are more - these are the ones that spring to mind.
I'd ask her for the recipe...

My daughter in law made a super pie basically spinach with an unusual pastry. I am very deaf and did not hear what she called the pastry, but I guess it had potato in it.

The pie filling was basically spinach and a lot of herbs and spices. Truly truly umami. She4 sad she would make it again for me.

Anyone else here who knows the secrets of meat free umami?
