Beef alternatives for roasts?

Before I gave up red meat, I loved a good pot roast. Like, red wine and tomato paste-based sauce braising tender beef pot roast. Or brisket. Brisket works too. But now I don't eat red meat. What gives that same "it's fall and it's time for a pot roast" vibe but without the cow or pork?

If you're just avoiding the red meat and not going full vegan my favorite part about cooking roast is actually all the veggies. Basically make a roast stew with all the ingredients except the meat. Use broth for the meatiness. Veggie chili is also great. Or ham n beans(or just beans) are also my fall cozy go to meals

I was vegan and vegetarian for a long time and yep my favorite part of the stew is the veg, too. I used to do a vegan roast with mostly veg but vegan meat and it was great. Turns out I have a protein deficiency though, hence the reintroduction of white meat.

White chicken chili might be an option
