I'm not vegan, but I am lacto vegetarian, so a lot of what I make is vegan or can be easily altered to be so. I'll try to post some good things.

While you all will pry my butter from my cold, dead, buttery hands, I would like to learn some actually tasty and not soy-steak-reliant vegan dishes to make at home for her, so I'll be following this thread with interest. This isn't an all-in-one dish, more of a component of one, but it's loving delicious and is my "vegan stand-by". Press the water out of a block of extra-firm tofu. Once you've squeezed out as much as possible, cut into ~1.5 to ~2cm cubes. Toss these in a drizzle of a neutral oil like canola, or something like olive oil if you want the flavor of that. Season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper, and put on a baking sheet into a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Stir halfway so it browns evenly. It's chewy, meaty, salty and peppery, utterly delicious hot or cold. I think I'm going to make some tonight!

Potato and cabbage curry is one of the few meals I can make consistently well, and i think it's a good 'learning to cook' dish as it really shows the importance of cooking the spices and salting the meal correctly. Add the spices at the end or use too little salt and its bland and boring, add the spices before anything else and use the right amount of salt and it's delicious. quote:3 tbsp. oil

Thanks for that, I've never heard of an Indian potatoes and cabbage curry. I do that combo quite frequently but base it on the Ethiopian dish "Tikil Gomen", though it's evolved from the traditional basic one pot dish to "roast potatoes, onions, garlic with braised cabbage, carrots, ginger, chilli, tumeric and cumin".

Today is the New Year of Ancient Egypt and I'd like to make a traditional Egyptian (vegetarian) meal for my girlfriend. I don't know if anybody knows any traditional or popular Egyptian (and more particularly Egyptian than Arabic) meals that I could make, but if anyone has a recipe they could share, I'd be grateful. I did not see a Middle Eastern thread in the first five or six pages of GWS so maybe there's a better resource, but ya'lls got some tasty meat-free recipes up in this.

Buy extra fava beans and make fūl. Then make some more. Always make fūl. Always. It's way more delicious than a sloppy bunch of beans and spices has any right to be.

Been making a lot of this lately; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHYmOefRNLk - substituting red miso for the soy sauce in the pre-boil phase. 1tbsp./5oz. basmati. It's dead easy, and fast to make. I want to phase out the sambal though, but I don't know what should take its place. Made "pulled" jackfruit once. It's okay.

Not a vegan, but what started out as 'Meatless Monday' has turned into "vegan food is easier to prepare and store for lunch at work". I'm trying to make a new vegan dish when I need to make more lunches, and so far so good - though my family thinks I might die of malnutrition. Perhaps salads are a little on the dull side, but I wanted to share my current favourite - chickpea salad it's a favourite because I already have most of the ingredients and it keeps the parsley plant out back in check. Ingredients: 6 medium tomatoes 3 cups chickpeas 1.5 large red capsicums (or 2 medium) 9 spring onions 125ml olive oil 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin 4 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley Method: Chop tomatoes, spring onions and slice the capsicum. Combine with chickpeas, toss gently. Combine oil, lemon zest, juice and cumin and pour over the salad. Scatter parsley on the top, mix well and serve.

If you buy prepackaged ones, double check that they're vegan, some brands like to put egg in their veggie patties.

TychoCelchuuu posted:There are lots of good options. These black bean burgers are neat, and I like these although they're kind of time-intensive. Really though you can just mash up some black beans and whatever else sounds good (onions, garlic, bread crumbs, hot peppers, tomatoes, many spices, etc. etc. etc.) and you'll be good to go so long as you adjust the moisture. I wouldn't buy pre-packaged ones unless you're also buying pre-packaged meat burgers - the quality of the two is pretty much the same, which is to say pre-packaged is way inferior to homemade. I ended up sort of following this advice and doing black beans, mushrooms, brown rice, onions, garlic, panko and spices. They looked good but didn't hold they're shape super well on the grill. Guests still ate them all up before I got a chance to see if they tasted any good.

I almost made vegan food again for dinner tonight except for the steaks and then the butter on the corn I was grilling and then the butter I used in the pan after I ran out of propane for the grill and had to finish cooking the steaks on my cast iron pan inside. But the peppers and the corn that didn't have butter on it and the lettuce was vegan!

Asked this in the general questions thread but it started going insane about the weight/volume of bacon bits or something. franco posted:Does anyone have a good recipe for vegan brownies? I want to make some for a vegan friend and, although searching throws up a wide variety of them, reviews and methods of each recipe are all over the shop so I don't know where to start. It'd be nice to have one that's tried and tested by a trusted source (you lot!) tia. I'm leaning towards this one at the moment. It seems like it should be good, but even then the comments are a mess of "the best!", "the worst!", "too oily!", "too crumbly!". Anybody?

Apologies for the late reply. Cheers for the suggestions! I was a bit too time-starved to get my hands on that book before they needed to be done and that Minimalist Baker one looks great but same reason for not being able to get my hands on the dairy-free butter or the stuff to make flax eggs (difficult around these parts at short notice). I will definitely seek them out for future trials though, thank you  So I ended up braving the one I found/linked as I had everything to hand and can absolutely vouch for it. I don't know if the negative commenters were doing something vastly wrong or I got lucky, but they came out just the right combination of fluffy/cakey and fudgy/gooey. Nice rise in the tray:  But! There is a criticism, only a small one. There is no drat way, no matter how careful you are, that they will come out in neat little squares. Behold the box I put together for the friend:  You can see I swiftly gave up on putting little waxy paper things in to keep them separate - it just wasn't happening. So, messy as hell but delicious. Vegan friend approved (and he is really fussy, even beyond the veganism, by his own admission, so that's high praise!). Omnivore me kept the rest and I honestly couldn't have detected that they were vegan if I hadn't made them myself. In fact I'd say they're better than a LOT of non-vegan ones I've had. Also really nice as a dessert, warmed with some cream (or vegan substitute, of course). So, uh, I guess what I'm saying is: try 'em - they good

I've been living on vegan "sushi bowls" lately. (Any food named "bowls" kinda gives me the creeps for some reason, but that's what they are.) My version, a take on garbagey, inauthentic but delicious Americanized sushi, features teriyaki tofu standing in for unagi. Method: Press, dry and cube a block of extra-firm tofu and dredge it in cornstarch and salt. Shallow-fry in vegetable oil until crispy on all sides. While that's going on, whip up the sauce -- soy, rice vinegar, grated garlic and ginger, sesame oil and brown sugar, raw sugar if you want to avoid bone char. I'm a bad vegan, actually not much of a vegan at all, so I keep my head in the sand about that. You can add sake or mirin if you want to be fancy. Little cornstarch. Amounts are to taste. When tofu is done, pour off the grease and add the sauce. Cook, stirring, until tofu is coated and sauce is thickened. Set aside. You want it room temp. Knock together a batch of sushi rice. While it's cooking, prep your other toppings -- any combo of sliced cucumber, sliced avocado (save this for the last minute), shredded carrot and/or daikon, sliced regular radishes, or whatever suits your fancy. When rice is done and cooled, bowl it out and top attractively with all of above. You can make this look pretty psychedelic if you want. Mandatory garnishes are toasted sesame seeds, shredded nori, chopped scallions, and wasabi and pickled ginger deployed judiciously. It's still hotter than blue blazes where I live and this is pretty much all I want to eat.

gently caress fake food imho Although to be honest I shouldn't be so strident. I was a recipe tester for this cookbook, which meant I made a couple fakey dishes (char siu bao with tempeh rather than meat, for instance) and it wasn't the end of the world, and in fact it inspired me to get out some non-vegan cookbooks I have and veganize some of the meat recipes using fakey poo poo like tempeh and seitan. I still think vegan food that's vegan from the get-go rather than vegan via swapping stuff in is the way to go most of the time, and I think the whole project of converting carnivores by feeding them lovely fake versions of their favorite food is a dead end that just turns people off of veganism, and I think fake poo poo's more expensive than just eating real vegan food, and I worry that the tempeh or whatever that I buy is full of chemicals that are doing lord knows what, but... it is nice to look at some sort of traditional Lebanese meat pastry or whatever and say "I can make this with tempeh" rather than "I guess I'll just never get to make this."

Having never had meat, I like faux meats because they're chewy and tasty, and same with tempeh (which I don't really think of as a faux meat, it has a long history). I get a much better reaction from meat folk when I present it as such rather than as a "this is supposed to be like meat" thing. But yeah, it's real nice to be able to alter meaty recipes to be suitable. Anyway, yesterday I made vegan tempura, more-or-less following this recipe. Though for the sauce, I didn't have ponzu and I forgot to make dashi that morning, so instead I used 50/50 stock-from-a-jar/soy sauce with a few dashes of orange bitters, which was good.  I tempura'd a bunch of asparagus and (not pictured) a couple different kinds of pickles that I'd made a couple weeks ago. It was really good! I had to call my mom over to help eat it all.

Taking a dish and swapping the meat to store-bought soy pieces is boring, yes, and will probably not convince an old meat lover you can live without animal products. But tempeh and seitan is an interesting product in itself imo and can easily be made at home which is of course more appreciated by all. But yeah using soy stuff for every dish is expensive in the long run and feels boring, but I think it's good and like it.

Since people sometimes say "what do vegans eat," I decided to start taking pictures of some stuff I eat. Then I decided to stop. Then I decided to start again. Then I deleted some of the pictures from my phone because I needed space. But in any case some pictures remain, so, in case anyone's interested, here's a random smattering of food I've made in the past few months (I've been sitting on the pictures a while): Sichuan cabbage (recipe)  Punjabi chole masala (recipe I think)  Kung pao cauliflower  Gowa mallum / Sri Lankan cabbage and coconut curry (recipe from this cookbook)  Quinoa rice sweet potato salad (based on a recipe from this cookbook) Apologies for the lovely pictures. 99% of the time I take them right as the food is about to be finished, with my phone, without any time to worry about lighting or composition or whether there's steam all over the lens.
