I do this or use tempeh. With tofu you can also toss it in the oven and dry it out more.

I think some kind of chickpea could well too, just season it. Also you can press some of it so you get different textures in each bite.

Yip Yip, bitch.
I’ve used the bob’s red mill TVP mentioned further up thread, and enjoyed it a lot, as did my omni boyfriend. TVP is rather versatile, way cheaper than that beyond meat stuff, and has an indefinite shelf life, so you don’t need to use up all of it.

When cooking up taco meat, I’m pretty lazy. I’ll fry off some garlic in a pan, add some paprika, ground red chilies (to bring some heat), crushed cumin seed, ground coriander, and a spot of tomato purée. I’ll add some extra oil to keep things moving along. Then once the tomato paste is fried smelling and the spices have moved through the space, I add the rehydrated tvp, taste for seasoning, and give everything a good hit of salt. It takes maybe 15 minutes total, and freezes well.

Some food I've eaten lately:


Seetaphal/custard apple


Chutney made from turai/ridge gourd peel


The aforementioned turai, along with potatoes, made Bengali style (jhinge aloo posto)


Gawar/cluster beans, cooked Bengali style


Moong dal


Toor dal, rotis, and aloo bhaingan/potatoes and eggplant

We used to be able to get this delicious fruit called pawpaw from trees in my region. They're awesome, but basically never grown commercially because the fruit spoils within a few days of picking, and doesn't ship well.

You can buy pawpaw mash/puree online, and use it for baking, but the fresh fruit is awesome.

But the last 2 years, the trees in my area have had little to no fruit. Last year there was some sort of bug/worm on most of the trees, not sure if that was related.

Anyway your assorted fruits and food reminded me of it :v:

I love home cooked ground beef, beans, rice, salsa in a wrap.

What is easy to get (Safeway or Costco) that I can use to replace the ground beef?

I probably could use mushrooms, anything else?

e: hah! someone just asked this on the last page.

This isn't exactly answering your question, but my favourite burrito filling atm is rice and beans; a salsa of tomato, corn, coriander, chilli and lime juice; guacamole; and some sort of hot sauce. All of this to say, maybe just try it without the meat component ?

Please help me, or at least help my guests. I'm providing a vegan, onion-free, nut-free cold buffet. One of them has also been dropping hints that they're tired of falafel being the go-to vegan option.

What would be on your fantasy buffet table that meets these requirements? The onions and nuts are allergies and I don't want to risk it, but it is cutting out a huge amount of vegan foods.

Some sort of pie is my immediate reaction.
Either something phyllo-based, or a faux-quiche-type thing.

For the phyllo, personally, I'd go with one of my absolute favourites, sauerkraut (and beetroot) börek:

The recipe I linked pages ago is dead, but is just about the easiest thing ever, and I can write it up for you if you'd like.

Or something like a modified manitaropita.

For the quiche, I'd use a shortcrust crust, probably use chickpea flour for the egg substitute, and fill it with whatever takes my fancy.

Depending on your setup, I think build-your-own lettuce wraps could work nicely.

You can make "meat"balls with quinoa, beans, tofu, or seitan and there are a bunch of store-bought options for these too.

Brined carrots can work as "lox" with fruit or a bagel and some type of vegan spread.

Foccaccia with olive oil, tomatoes, and spices.

Spring rolls work well too, with a dipping sauce.

Chickpea "tuna" salad is a classic.

Ask the onion allergist about other arromats like garlic and shallots as those will be a common ingredient.

Yeah this is my goto especially if you have some extra veggies which you can saute and throw in there too.

I think tempeh, tofu, or tvp would be equally good.

Quiche, spring rolls and the 'tuna' salad are perfect, thank you! I'll give the 'tuna' a practice run without the onions, but the capers should be enough flavour.

There are two onion allergies! And two nut allergies, who are not the same people.

You could use pickled cabbage or kimchi in place of the onions. Watch out for fish sauce, of course:

Oh, and Jones was there too.

Celery often works as an onion sub in recipies too, if nobody is allergic to it. Mostly ones which are using onion to add bulk.

Also, one person might be tired of falafels, but I'm not, they're awesome.

Depending on the dish, you can also use asafoetida/hing as a substitute to garlic and onion if you don't want to miss out on those flavours.

Shallots work as a substitute for onions in most contexts, if that’s an option.

I bring this to every potluck with 50/50 sunflower seeds/pumpkin seeds substituted for pine nuts. The chickpeas can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. It’s always a huge hit among everyone.

In the case of a low tyramine diet, which is rare but not unheard of, shallots can be substituted for onions. Idk the reason that the OP has though.

I recently made a chickpea, coconut and cashew curry. I feel I went a little too hard with the spices, and could keep a little more liquid in the final dish, but it was still quite enjoyable. The thing I like the most about this dish is that it's super quick to make.

I don't regularly follow any but I found this on Google. Lots of vegan sites also explicitly mark out their nut free recipes, like this one. Can't vouch for any of these though. You could check out Chinese food, Ethiopian food, French food, Japanese food, and Korean food, off the top of my head, as cuisines with lots of nut-free vegan stuff. But really almost any vegan-friendly cuisine I think of has plenty of nut free stuff. If you check out lots of recipes I've posted in this thread, many of them are nut free.

Nuts are maybe more common in vegan dishes than non-vegan, but there are still tons of recipes without them. Even recipes with them, they are often used as a garnish that could easily be omitted. In looking through the various vegan main-dish recipes I've bothered to write up, only one has nuts as a non-garnish ingredient.

Nut allergies really shouldnt be a major barrier to trying any type of diet - its possible they are using their allergies as a polite excuse to just not try anything new.

yep I saw those two sites searching before I posted about it. I'll forward it on, maybe they'll do something with it hopefully.

The excuse as drk mentioned was what happened when I mentioned it the first time (eating vegan)

I made Cajun style red beans and rice for dinner last night.



I've only made it a couple of times but my partner thoroughly enjoys it, so I think it's going to be a keeper. This time I added maybe half a tablespoon of vinegar to simulate the tang from the pickled pork that the traditional recipes have, but I don't think that was enough to add any noticeable tang. Oh well, I guess I better make it some more!

Looks delicious! I haven't made red beans and rice in forever since I live in India but I used to make it all the time. Absolutely delicious. Vegan Worcestershire sauce is one way to add some tang.
