We made these truffles the other day, they came out amazing. https://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/sephardic-charoset-truffles/ . We skipped the honey and used coconut sugar, if I recall. Super simple recipe.





Oh, and this cake. I forgot the recipe but can probably find it.

Over memorial day weekend we made this turtle cake, it was amazing.

Also some kickass kale salad that we make every so often and a (sorry thread) non-vegan risotto mostly to appease my wife's picky sister. http://ohsheglows.com/2013/11/25/the-best-shredded-kale-salad/ . The risotto is mostly a holiday thing for family crap (ignore) but we make this kale salad constantly because it's delicious.

Provecho by Edgar Castrejón - a Mexican cookbook. Sample recipe: adobo mushroom tacos.

The Korean Vegan Cookbook by Joanne Lee Molinaro.

The Vegan Iraqi Cookbook by Lamees Ibrahim. Sample recipe: cracked wheat kubba.

The Cajun Vegan Cookbook by Krimsey Lilleth.

I can't vouch for any of these since they are quite new and I haven't read them yet (the Cajun one isn't even out yet - it comes out in a few days). But the ones that are out have very good online reviews. Moby also has a cookbook in case you care.

- 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

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 ?

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/

Pressure cookers are kind of cool but you need to pay attention to them.

I've gone the other direction and use my slow cooker a lot as I can just set & forget, so it does it's thing all day while I'm at work.

That's why I've been using the pressure cooker as a set and forget. Once you hit that threshold with stuff, it becomes super nice.

Rice in instant pot is set and forget. Basmati is 6 minutes under pressure and 15 natural. Instant pot counts up once pressure is off so it's easy to track this. basmati ref: https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-basmati-rice/ & likewise for brown rice: https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-brown-rice/

Things I put in salads (and think would probably last a week):

All sorts of cooked beans/legumes/pulses (tinned lentils tend to be a bit delicate, ime, but boiling them from dry and keeping them al dente works);
Brown rice;
Vegetables:
- cooked: green beans (also good raw), broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potato, corn;
- raw: kale (just massage it really really well as you wash it to make it tender), grated beetroot, finely sliced fennel bulb, cabbage;

Nuts

This is a great list and I concur on the lentils, as sadly that has happened to me as well. I'll try to add onto this:


With kale, a distinct trick I noticed for freshness and texture preference for my family was cutting kale perpendicular into tiny narrow strips, stems and all. Grated carrots can be nice and a chopped sweet onion can go well in small portions.



For nuts, I find I use either pepitas or walnuts depending on the dressing/recipe style.

I personally find myself roasting beets more than grating them since it's just a cup of water with 30 minutes in an instant pot, basically.

I think dressing matters here in terms of defining what matches with the salad concept but honestly quite a lot does. You could make a vegan kale Caesar salad (plenty of recipes), or a pecan parm, or a beet salad (feasting at home has a great one you can swap the feta for tofu or vegan feta), or an asian salad ala miso dressing and so on. Sometimes I'll just do Italian seasoning or herbs de provence with some oil and vinegar, or add olives or make a southwest bean/corn salad with salsa.

On top of that you could put the entire salad into a pita to make it greek/Mediterranean (maybe tzaziki ideas or harissa), or even get some nori and basically make sushi with salad ingredients - grated carrots, celery, avocado, red pepper, rice - now you have sushi or a sushi bowl from leftover salad stuff. Lazy cat kitchen has a good recipe for a sauce there. Maybe a mock cobb salad with tofu?! Turn it into a sandwich with some tempeh. Lots of options to keep things fresher.

So many options.

One significant thing I did observe is using a salad spinner for the lettuce/leafy greens makes an enormous difference on weeklong freshness.

I forget where we found the idea, but on pizza we regularly use (and for pasta, too) what gets called 'garlicky-almondy-noochy stuff', but is basically a vegan parmesan.

It's basically garlic, almonds, nutritional yeast flakes and salt, blended together. Works really well with raw garlic, but you could use garlic powder too. It's worth experimenting with the ratios a bit.

There's about 8 forms of this, one I frequent uses pecans or walnuts. IE: pecan parm from https://ohsheglows.com/2013/11/25/the-best-shredded-kale-salad/

sometimes indeed tweaking with garlic or swapping an amount of pecans for walnuts as mentioned, or doing half the oil when we double it - simply uses too much to us. all good stuff for the 2 cup spare food processor we use for this kind of stuff (dressing etc).

my kid will literally fight or murder to get this stuff, we use it on anything from the kale salad to spaghetti and so on

Hey, question from an ignorant meat eater.

Work is having a potluck, taco bar, and I signed up to make the taco meat.

We have like 4 vegetarians, and I just realized there wasn't a real vegetarian/vegan entree option, just a "vegetable tray".

I figured I could make a portion of vegan ground beef substitute or something, but I'm not sure what to use. I've only ever cooked with tofu and tempeh.

Would "beyond meat" ground beef substitute work? Or something like seitan?

Is there anything I need to know about cooking this stuff as far as like making sure it's not too dry? Obviously I can't just toss in a spoonful of bacon grease...

Anyway, advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you're in the US in an area that has one a trader Joe's, they have a vegan chorizo mock-meat in a tube. It's cheap, flavorful, not spicy.

TJ's (trader Joe's) soymilk is the only budget, and taste acceptable solution soymilk I've seen work for anything I make as well. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure it's a US brand as it's an Aldi owned chain. Westwood has similar but about 2x the price.

I use it for every recipe that needs a milk, and have zero issues with baking with it.

For cashews, azure standard (us only I think?) has bulk raw cashews at a great price for making cashew cream.

Is the aldi stuff in Europe different from in the US? In the US we have half gallon cartons in the fridge that are pretty much like silk (the brand).

I'm going to split hairs here that don't really need splitting, but I cannot resist. Aldi is a German brand originally, but they split into Aldi north and Aldi south. Aldi south owns all the Aldi stores in the US and Aldi north owns Trader Joes. So Trader Joes is an Aldi brand, but it's distinct from the Aldi stores in the US since it's associated with the other Aldi chain in Germany.

That being said I should check out their soymilk.

Ha. I didn't know about the Aldi ownership split in such a fashion when it came to TJ's. The only notable part to me was the same as mentioned by kreeningsons: no added salt/sugar (and also vanilla), unlike most vegan milks in the US - including from silk, where this is difficult to find at minimum. We're pretty keen to avoid buying things that include sugar/salt/oil when alternatives exist and would rather employ those into the things we choose to make instead of having it added without our control, because it screws up recipes. Much closer to forks over knives concept. Considering I've only shopped at them in the US, I don't know.

To contribute to thread in other ways:

Likewise we've gotten into making a ton of stuff with thai rice wraps lately of various shapes and sizes (medium/large rounded and square0, and it's been a hit for my daughter as well as giving her a creative salad option + fast prep. Seeing as it's very hands on and she can make it herself, that also works. It has resulted in her wanting to make a bunch of em with fruit too, which is fun.

Often we've done:
pick any veggies - often I'll julienne carrots & green onions or use a julienne peeler to fit better
+ baked tofu
+ sometimes avocado
+ cilantro
+ peanut sauce (everyone has their own take on the savory + sweet combo)
