Cheap vegan meals

[Rosieposy89]

My SMP has finished so things are quite tight until my July payday.

Can I have some cheap, easy vegan meal suggestions please. I've just made a lentil dahl..

Mixed bean chilli
jacket spud with baked beans
butternut squash and/or chickpea curry
richmond vegan sausages and mash
pesto and pasta/gnocchi

just bulk everything out with whatever veg is on offer.

Lentil Dahl, cooked with tinned tomatoes and spinach.

DoH! You knew that! 😄

I live off daal🤦🏻‍♀️
One pot pasta- Anna Jones I think
Beans on toast
Jacket potato and beans
Risotto with butternut squash and sage
Bean chilli with rice, nachos
Sourdough soup with:
Vichyssoise soup- it doesn’t need milk
Gazpacho
Carrot and coriander soup
Lentil and carrot soup
Salad with nuts, fruit, grated carrots, beetrooot, celeriac
Katsu curry with baked cauliflower and/ or aubergine steaks

Pasta, base tomato sauce and difference seasonings to ring the changes.
Curry with whatever veg you have and some pulses for protein
Shakshuka fries: the sauce (sweet and spicy) without the egg ladled over chips or rice ( we love it with chips).
Veg 'kebabs'. Cook the veg (any veg) that needs cooking, chop the veg that doesn't . Bung it in wraps with chilli sauce.
Baked beans in any form.
Tinned is Astra on toast: not the healthiest but a guilty pleasure, especially if you add some parsley and black pepper.

Sag aloo
Leek and potato soup
Any soup
Ratatouille
Veg curry
Loads of things.

Tinned pasta not Astra!

Lentil bolognaise.
veg curry with rice or bulgar wheat (or any grain).
fry up with tofu scramble, vegan sausages, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and toast.
overnight oats with milk alternative and chia seeds and/or hemp seeds.
vegan cheese (applewood’s) on toast.
jacket potato cheese (applewood’s) and beans.
chickpea and aubergine stew with any grain.
sweet potato, roasted aubergine and veggies.
cous cous with plant kitchen chorizo with veggies.
plant based chorizo and vegan cheese sandwiches with salad.

my list can go on! With recipes if needed

Chia seeds & vegan cheese aren’t cheap. If you’re on a budget they definitely aren’t essential.

I find the big sacks of dried soya protein mince from H&B go a loooong way and cost about the same as a single pack of fresh fake ‘mince’
You rehydrate them with stock or the sauce of whatever you’re cooking.
Use to batch cook bolognaise, cottage pie, mince n onions, moussaka, pasties
Of course bulked out with plenty of lentils and veg

Spanishish Stew
Onion, red and yellow pepper, tin butter beans, tin tomatoes, 3 tsp smoked paprika, stock cube, black pepper. I've made this with random fridge veg too but things like green beans and peppers which keep their shape are my prefered.

I managed to get some cheap chia seeds on Amazon and depending on brand you wish to buy and amount (bulk is cheaper) and it goes a long way.

OP didn’t mention a specific budget however vegan cheese is available in most places now and for different prices. Aldi now cater to Vegans with cheese,milk, butter and so much more on a budget.

personally I make my own milks and cheese is doable at home also along with almost everything since we didn’t have all the options we do now back in the days so utilise what is now available.

like others said it you make big and store it can make a little budget so a long way.
