Apple piiiiiiie. Crust is a bit pale because I am a genius and forgot to put the almond milk wash on it, and the edge is a bit overbrowned because my pie shielding was not on point. still very tasty though, so I dooooon't care.

My work schedule has been mad lately, so my cooking has been pretty basic for the past couple of weeks.

I bodged together a sour shchi to use up some sauerkraut:

Just veg, homemade sauerkraut and a tin each of diced tomatoes and red kidney beans.

Jjajangmyeon:

Used textured vegetable protein. I didn't have enough chunjang, so I added in some soybean paste which made it really salty. Still good, but close to too salty.

I don't normally make two dishes in a meal, because I'm lazy and it's stressful, but I couldn't decide which to make, and both were fairly easy:

A modified version of this chana dal (split red lentils in place of chana dal (yes, chana dal without chana), 500 grams of mushrooms, some carrot and pumpkin) and this cabbage and green pea curry.
I make the dal regularly because it's so bloody good. The curry was also really tasty, and very easy; but the recipe says to add 2-3C of water 5 minutes before serving, which I'm glad I didn't do, because it would've been soup if I had.

I made a very simple date tart:


Dates soaked in hot water then blitzed with a little bit of vanilla, salt, and cornflour, in a phyllo crust.
Very good.

Bodged together a pistachio "tiramisu":

Made a very simple sponge cake, pricked it and poured some warm orange juice and vanilla over it while it was hot. Soaked a load of pistachios in soymilk overnight, blitzed them with more soymilk and some cornflour.
It was incredibly tasty, but the sponge went stale far quicker than it does when I make regular vegan "tiramisu" because it wasn't twice baked.
Definitely making it again, though, with some modifications.

Fake meat is gross as gently caress. This is neat though because it’s just twice frozen firm tofu.

That one you've linked is the one I've made. I also really like battering and frying cauliflower and you can dress it up however you want from there too. Cauliflower makes extremely good nuggets, cutlets, etc.. if you want something with a nice toothsome texture.

This is the first time I'm actually bothering with a seder plate since going vegan, and I only made the decision this morning, so I'm using a roasted beetroot because that's what google said to use and I didn't have time to search for an alternative, but I'm not in love with the idea.

A beet is the most commonly used alternative I think, but this article mentions the other common alternative, "barley or wheat (wrapped in plastic wrap) along with olives and grapes." Since you don't actually eat the shankbone or anything, I like to use a photograph of a shankbone. Easy substitution.

edit: since we're talking about it, some Passover stuff:

A picture of a bone is an interesting idea.

I made the vegetable paella that Tycho recommended the other day: https://spainonafork.com/authentic-spanish-vegetable-paella-recipe.
I got my timing a little wrong, so I didn't manage to get a crust on it, but it was still very tasty.

Unless you're willing to let things go a while and risk burning/overcooking, I find you basically have to wing it in order to get a crust, so unless you've made the recipe before it's a bit of a shot in the dark.

Lady Disdain
Jan 14, 2013

Yeah, I ended up leaving it longer during the scorching phase than the recipe called for, but I misjudged the "start timing when all the stock has been absorbed" part. Another 2 minutes and it would've been perfect; I got some scorch, but not a proper crust.

I'm just using a beet for the shankbone, yeah. I think I read something about (apparently charoset) about it not being what people think it is.

roasted beetroot
Karpas: parsley and mint
Maror: radicchio
Chazaret: watercress
Beitzah: mixed seeds and a whole avocado, because why not

Honestly I don't think anyone can' go wrong with incorporating avocado into any meal. We made a shitload of stuff, including a veganized chicken cacciatore recipe for a pressure cooker that we swapped chicken for portabello mushrooms and laid on top of mashed potatoes. Photobomb also included my daughter's play Seder plate because she loves it. .



Recipe if anyone wants, below.

- 3lbs mushrooms
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/3 cup white wine

- 1 & 1/2 cup sliced onion
- 1/2 cup chopped carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp minced parsley
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

- 1 can (6oz) tomato paste
Veganized version of chicken cacciatore
Directions:
Place all ingredients except tomato paste in pressure cooker
pressure cook 8 minutes, instant release
stir in tomato paste
simmer until thickened, and then serve.

I made these the other day. I don't have a pan small enough to fit in my steamer, so I made individual portions in drinking glasses, topped them with the coconut sauce and served them as-is.


I didn't have enough rice flour, so I used about 1/3 wheat flour. They were much denser than I'd imagined they would be, but that's probably an effect of the flour substitution ? I also might've over-cooked them.
So delicious, though. I'll definitely make them again.

They're still pretty dense even just with rice flour. The word "cake" might just be setting the wrong expectation. If anything it's sort of like a very firm custard.

I make soy yoghourt using one of these easiyo yoghourt makers, which makes the whole thing a breeze. It was like $25AUD, and was genuinely such a good purchase.

I tried using the oven light method, but my oven light seems to have absolutely no impact on the temperature of my oven.

I use a specific brand of soy milk every time, because trial and error has taught me that this one works the best. (It's the Coles organic original, but I don't think you're in Australia.)
I began by using a store-bought live culture coconut yoghourt as my starter, then just kept it going. It's tasty, but very runny; definitely a pourable consistency.
I decided to use a culture I bought online to try and improve the thickness. The result is about the same thickness but more mucilaginous, and I'm not a fan; once I run out of this culture, I'll go back to the original method.
After 12+ hours in the easiyo, the yoghourt has separated: thick yoghourt on the top, gross-looking yellowish water on the bottom (I think this is whey ?). If you wanted a thicker yoghourt, you could just scoop off the thick stuff. I just mix it all together.

e: to use the easiyo, you just mix your milk and starter in the container. Pour boiling water into the thermos, pop the container in, and let it sit for the desired time. 12 hours minimum, I prefer around 16. In cold weather, I'll replace the boiling water once if I can be bothered, but it seems to work either way.

Nettle's partner here: Thanks for this recommendation, Nettle saw it a ages ago, and it had to "ferment for a while", but eventually she grabbed a used one off of e-bay. We started it off with a spoonful of supermarket yogurt (on the day of the best before date) and the cheapest available soy milk, setting our expectations low and letting it do its thing for roughly 15-20 hours, and it worked much better than we would have dared to hope. The first look inside the jar may be off-putting if you're not used to staring down the barrel of delicious fermentation processes, but it had a surprisingly smooth and spoonable texture, mild taste, and it had even lost the somewhat notable soy flavour the milk comes with. I wouldn't mind if it were a little tangier, but it was definitely a great success for a first try!

Lady Disdain

So glad it worked out !
I would also like more tanginess to my yoghourt, but I think that's down to the type of culture used.

Lara Lee's Coconut & Sambal has a decent number of vegan recipes if you're interested in Indonesian food.

Hello friends, I am looking for the incredible vegan pasta.

Not pasta recipes, but the pasta itself.
  • I've tried stuff like Banza, which is good (especially for the bulk price via Costco).
  • However I am looking for the next level, the most powerful, tender, and delicious vegan pasta you've ever had.
I will spend outside my normal budget to acquire that incredible bucatini!!! Just tell me where to order from!

Most dry pasta is vegan, are you looking for something different?

And if you want fresh pasta, all you have to do is mix semolina flour and water.

I've never made pasta myself, but the youtube channel Pasta Grannies makes it look pretty doable; no pasta machines, and minimal-ish elbow grease. Most of the sauces aren't vegan (although a lot are), but loads of the pastas themselves are.

Yes, most of the dry vegan pasta I’ve treated is… ok… but I’m looking for better than ok. I want the high quality noodles!!

Mainly brand tips or anything would be nice.

P.S. I’m a dummy but when I was looking up brands I sometimes found animal product. Didn’t realize most pasta was vegan by default. Think it was because there was some cross pollination with gluten free searches and also I was a dummy lol

Yeah, generally, when pasta isn't vegan, it will explicitly state on the front of the package that it contains egg, because that's a selling point.

e: gnocchi seems to be the exception; it rarely advertises itself as containing egg.

I've never bothered with the fancy expensive pastas so I have no personal recommendations, but I've heard people praise Sfoglini so that might be one to check out. Whole Foods sells it in lots of places. In general maybe just buy the expensive ones until you find one you like? The ones made with bronze die extruders are allegedly the best texture because they are rougher and thus sauce sticks to them better.

Some YouTube videos, while I'm here:

Morning all.
I'm looking for recommendations for some really hearty winter meals (think potato and barley stew, mushroom bourguignon with mashed potatoes, etc.) that aren't European(-style). Which other countries do great stodge ?

I don't know what stodge is but north Indian food is very hearty. Ditto Middle Eastern food.

The heavy stuff, huh. Lemme check recipes.

edit:, a shakshuka? probably works with just egg but using some harissa integrates well for the sauce. https://www.veganricha.com/vegan-shakshuka-with-sweet-potatoes-tofu/

https://www.kitchentreaty.com/slow-cooker-5-ingredient-thai-curry-butternut-squash-soup/ - this might work too depending on what you incorporate like chickpeas, quinoa, mung beans.


https://vegnews.com/2012/11/sumptuous-shepherds-stew this shepherd's stew pairs well with mash potatoes and vegan gravy.

We found this recipe years ago for the gravy and it is amazing, but heavy with the mash. Combo usually ends being 2-3 days worth of food. It's I guess maybe European or just kinda generic as shepherd's pie is everywhere.

old vegan gravy recipe posted:

8 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic -- squashed and minced very well (3 to 6)
2 slices yellow onion -- chopped (2 to 3)
8 tablespoons all-purpose white flour
4 teaspoons nutritional yeast
4 tablespoons low- or reduced-sodium tamari (soy sauce)
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 white mushrooms -- sliced (optional) (5 to 6)
extra flour or cornstarch (optional)
Measure the vegetable oil into a small saucepan.

Cook the garlic and onion in it for about two minutes on medium or medium-low heat, until the onion is a bit tender and translucent.
Add the flour, yeast, and tamari to make a paste.

Add the water gradually, stirring constantly.

Bring the gravy to a boil on medium to medium-high heat, stirring constantly -- the gravy has to boil for it to thicken.

Add pepper.

Stir in the sliced mushrooms, if desired.

Add salt, if desired.

If the gravy is too thin for your taste, add one or two tablespoons of flour or small amounts of cornstarch to thicken it and add home-made-looking lumps.

Use a wire whisk to eliminate lumps.

Pour the piping hot gravy onto toast, bisquits, vegetarian sausage, poultry stuffing, potatoes, or vegetarian burgers.

This gravy takes about ten minutes to prepare.


Let it sit for 20 minutes, then strain -- use that mushroom juice plus enough water to make 2 cups of liquid for the recipe.

This gravy refrigerates well.


This slow cooker African peanut stew is a winner with my family as well. https://tastespace.wordpress.com/2016/10/15/slow-cooker-creamy-sweet-potato-peanut-stew-plant-pure-nation-cookbook-giveaway/

Thanks for the stodge recommendations. I did some searching, and added some things to my list.

My definition of stodge, btw, is essentially just hot, sloppy, and carb-heavy.

Tonight, I attempted Ethiopian-ish.
Full disclaimer: I've never eaten Ethiopian before, so I've no idea how it's supposed to taste. I'm guessing this wasn't very close to the real deal, but it was very good.

I started with these recipe for the split peas/lentils and the collard greens as a base. I used frozen spinach instead of collard greens, and added nutmeg, pepper and more chilli. For the split peas, I essentially used the lentil recipe but with split peas and no tomato purée.
Ethiopian mushroom tibs stir-fry, with some extra added spices and balsamic.
I used this method for injera, but used whole wheat flour instead of teff ($40/kg :stonk:). Not sure why they didn't get that tripe texture; I think my batter may've been too thick.
All in all, really good, and less stress than I'd imagined 3 dishes and crêpes would involve.

I also bodged together an apple and frangipane tart:


Phyllo pastry just to stop it sticking to the pie plate. The "frangipane" is just almond meal, some fine semolina because I didn't have enough almond meal, almond essence, sugar, salt, allspice, soy milk, and a wee bit of (probably unnecessary) oil, topped with apple. Brushed with warm apricot preserve once it was out of the oven.
Very easy, very tasty.
