You also don't want to overfill a pressure cooker of beans or other starches that can foam up. I am assuming they meant 8 cups since that's a reasonable number for 1lb of beans anyway.

So apparently the Netherlands is having the same problem as the US with COVID contaminated workers in meat plants. Thing is, I eat meat pretty much every day because I can just grill a burger in 10 minutes, boil some pasta and that’s it (anything more complex I get takeout or ready made from the store). Is there anything similarly simple but vegetarian?

check the vegan cooking thread for recipes that aren't just meat replacement, but the simplest answer to your question is just buy veggie burgers and pasta sauce with no meat. they cook up identically in terms of time and effort. TVP (textured vegetable protein), carne soya, soy protein - all the same name for a dirt cheap 'meat replacement' that is very shelf stable. i use this in my ragu and eat quick pasta for at least a couple meals a week.

Usually what I do is cook large batches of things and reheat them over the week for dinner. Something like chana masala or black bean soup or refried beans reheat very well so you can do that, plus some rice or noodles or whatever and some veggies maybe. The difficulty will be sourcing a recipe and ingredients. If you use canned beans the cooking will probably be pretty easy. Something like a middle east or an Indian grocery (are those common in the Netherlands?) would be the best bet for stocking up, they'll have the spices you need, plus beans. And yeah I'd check out the vegan thread, I'm really bad at posting recipes but the OP posts a million of them. Find something beany that looks good and can be made with canned beans (good for starting out), then make enough for at least a few days to see if that routine would work for you. edit: I'll add that the vegan thread is intended for foods that aren't in the "meat substitute" category. There's nothing wrong with them IMO, I have them occasionally, but that thread is an exploration of a more "whole-foods" approach, as in using lots of veggies, beans, spices, and grains to make food.

Premade fake meats are also why normies always think it's expensive to go vegetarian. They assume that instead of buying meat you buy fake meat, and don't imagine that perhaps you buy none at all.

its been my experience for years that the less effort a vegetarian food puts into being a 'meat replacement', the more delicious the result is.

I don't think there's anything wrong, though, with being able to think "I have a craving for buffalo wings, let's figure out how to approximate that without using meat." For example using jackfruit for bbq, or smoked coconut for BLT-ish strips. I guess that still requires knowing your ingredients pretty well and figuring out how to use them. Even the times when I marinate a bunch of tofu and bake it in thin strips, I'm not thinking of it as "fake meat" or whatever but I'm still usually planning on using it to fill in gaps in dishes that I used to use meat for (to give body to a sandwich, or a salad, etc., even maybe the classic tofu scramble).

SubG posted:I dunno if it was here or some other thread where I mentioned that my local CSA has meat and dairy that you can add to your produce box, but their meat has been in low supply since the lockdown started. Except duck. So I've been going through a lot of duck. And so I think the defining new recipe for my quarantine so far is duck ramen.  Duck ramen with handmade ramen noodles, bok choy and onion scapes from the garden, and duck and shiitake mushrooms from the CSA box.

Chinese tomato eggs for breakfast with some home grown chia microgreens. First foray into growing microgreens so just used seeds we already had and it was so stupidly easy that it should be illegal to not grow your own.

BBQ Dave posted:But wait! My wife is allergic to walnuts (and no other tree nuts, weird huh?) It's not weird at all. A lot of people with a Type-1 IgE-mediated allergy (anaphylaxis) to tree nuts don't have that response to all of the tree nuts. Similar proteins in the tree nuts group can cause a reaction to the whole group or it can be very specific to a certain tree nut. Also, while peanut and tree nut allergies do tend to cluster, peanut allergies are not really very similar to the tree nut allergies, hence a person who was tested for both peanuts and almonds with a +ve peanut allergy and a -ve almond allergy could happily eat almond butter if it was produced in a facility that does not process peanuts and does not say "may contain" do not try this at home and everyone was very sure to read the labels very carefully. Distinctly different is cross-reactive proteins, which you find in interesting cases, two of which I will detail: Environmental allergens can provoke food allergenic symptoms. 1.) In a cohort of Orthodox Jewish patients with dust mite allergies and no prior exposure to shellfish (a prior exposure being necessary for a reaction,) a reaction to shrimp can be noticed after beginning immunotherapy (allergy shots) to dust mites. This likely shows that dust mites and shrimp share enough common proteins to have a cross-reaction. Ramping up the immune exposure to dust mite scat also caused positive skin prick tests in a population fastidious about exposure to shellfish (jab a toothpick in a shrimp then into the skin, compared to +ve histamine reaction and -ve saline reaction.) Shrimp are bugs. 2.) People with allergies to certain trees can develop Oral Allergy Syndrome (or Fruit Reactive Syndrome) in which say, a reaction to cross-reactive birches also causes mild tingling/itch in the face and oro-pharynx upon ingestion of certain fruits (apple, pear, etc.) because of profilin which is a common protein in both. They can eat the fruit cooked with no symptoms, and the proteins are denatured either by heat (by cooking) or by stomach acid so the tingling ends when they swallow. OAS is generally mild but shouldn't be played with as any reaction can be a much worse reaction than the previous one and there is no way to prove what a reaction will be in future. Latex allergies and banana share a cross-reactive pathway in certain people, although not all; Latex Fruit Syndrome.

The best vegitarian replacement for meat on the grill is PANEER. It's cheese you can grill. Paint on a savory sauce and some chutney, and you're golden (brown delicious). Grilled veg is awesome. We just slice an eggplant lengthwise, let it sit with some salt on it to marinate for ten minutes, then grill till mushy and eat whole with salt and pepper. Skin it and blend it with tahini and olive oil, then you have delicious baba ganoush. We also grill summer squash and zucchini/young married, sweet peppers, and tomatoes. The best replacement for buffalo wings is cauliflower. Breaded and fried and covered in buffalo sauce (or sauce of your choice). My fiance and I eat meatless most days, even though we are dedicated meat eaters. We just tend to buy less, better quality meat, and use it sparingly, or as a treat. We grilled pork chops outside with the eggplant, it was delicious. Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 17:43 on May 31, 2020 |

I made an excellent riff on a Joe Grey stew in the instant pot with freezer and pantry staples. 4 frozen sausages/bratwurst 2oz frozen bacon chopped into small lardons 2 medium onions 1lb tomatoes or 16oz canned 4 cloves rough chopped garlic 1lb sweet potato diced 3 apples peeled Chicken broth or 3 chicken stock cubes or equivalent Salt, pepper, lemon juice OPTIONAL: 1 tablespoon thai red chili paste, 1 splash heavy cream. 1 cup spinach. Defrost sausages. Fry bacon on medium-low, then add sausages to brown. Do not cook sausages through, just get a little browning on them. Remove all meat from pot, reserve drippings in pot. Brown onions low and slow in drippings with a heavy pinch of salt. Once browned, add tomatoes, apples, garlic, and sweet potato, stock cubes, 2 cups water. If in IP, cook 10min high pressure 10min natural release. If stovetop, simmer until sweet potatoes are cooked (probably 30-60 minutes depending on fineness of dice). Cut sausages into quarters. Add back meat and thai red chili paste, simmer uncovered until sausages are cooked through. Stir in a dollop of cream and spinach. Salt and pepper and lemon to taste. Serves 4, approx 650 calories per serving. Edit: just reheated a serving for lunch, it got better in the fridge mmmmmm Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Jun 10, 2020 |

Hey all been away for a bit. Still well, and hope you all are too. My wife made minestrone and if you haven't tried it with dumplings instead of pasta you are missing out (especially if you use veggie stock made from your scraps and herb from your garden).  I made some disappointing devils on horseback. I really cooked em to get the bacon crispy and the blue cheese cooked away! The flavor of the blue cheese was still there but not creamy. I suspect that I should have used a harder blue cheese.

Got kinda quiet in here, here are some ideas for leftovers! Leftover rice? Just add kimchi, fry it up and pop an egg on it (fried or poached are my favorite)  Leftover bananas? Make banana bread! My wife made this and took the whole thing to a local business to thank them for performing COVID protection procedures well beyond the state requirements. Gotta reward those folks since they have to put up with idiots screaming at them.  Leftover Risotto? Pack it into discs, 3 step frying method (seasoned flour, beaten egg with a little water, and panko), cook em golden brown in some canola oil then dust with smoked paprika and serve with lemon wedges.  We everyone is ok!
