Vegan what's for dinner thread...

762 replies

FauxFox · 22/03/2017 18:33

I'm new at veganing and I'd like ideas and somewhere to record my meals... please let me know what vegan food is on the menu in your house tonight (or eating out too actually) I am really interested 😊

So tonight I am making veggie chilli out of sweet potato/courgette/peppers/carrot/baby corn/kidney beans etc served with guacamole and tortilla chips. I have homemade vegan brownies for dessert.

Don't think I will miss meat/dairy at all

What does everyone think - shall we move this thread into the shiny new vegan topic?

TwentyCups · 27/04/2017 00:08

Thank you guys for your support.

I've not read most of the posts about dinners etc but wanted to share that my lovely DP bought me a vegan chocolate cupcake that we shared which was delicious. He's so supportive, I really am lucky to have him.

Wrt to moving the thread I would say yes if only to improve traffic to the new topic to keeping it alive! I also think it would be good to establish the new topic as being inclusive - the same as this thread is

MsJuniper · 27/04/2017 07:49

Yes I think move it - do we need to report the thread to mnhq to do this?

Whatslovegottodo · 27/04/2017 07:53

Yes moving it to the shiny new topic seems a good plan.

Rockaby · 27/04/2017 08:40

Agree with what twenty said re keeping new board alive !

Glad your DH is supportive twenty. Hope you are ok.

Of course stlliving It's a flexible, easy one pot recipe;

Use a large heavy duty saucepan on the lowest heat. Melt 1cup of molasses or half of maple syrup and rice syrup or what you like for a sweetener but it needs to be syrup to 'stick' the cake nicely together. Then add the spices you like, (you get the picture about flexibility!) I used cinnamon, a lot of ground ginger ( I love ginger!) plus cardamom. Then add whole skinned almonds that you have soaked for a couple of hours or overnight.

You can make this into chocolate brownies by adding i\2 a bar of dark choc. at this moment, let it melt without stirring much. Then add 3 tbsps. of almond butter or peanut butter of course! Gently stir in enough rice milk or almond milk.. to loosen the mixture.

Let it cool off the heat and then add 1 cup of ground almonds and one cup of whatever flour you like, I used sieved rye flour because we don't eat wheat. Then one heaped tsp. of baking powder and one flat
one of bicarb.
Line a tart tin with greasproof paper and pour the mixture in (it should be loose but not too loose!)

Put it an oven 170 C ,If your oven is only fan then 160C I turn the fan off for this, for 1\2 to 3\4 of an hour. It should be bit squidgy in the middle but the edges coming away from the sides. let it cool in the tin then cut into squares. This improves with keeping! wrapped in greaseproof paper in a tin. It freezes well too.

That looks amazing ppeat. Will definitely give that a go! I love ginger too, especially in cake form .

Tonight we're having lentil shepherds pie. We are going away tomorrow for the long weekend so need to use up loads of potatoes before we go.

I have requested the thread moves to the Vegan topic

Any lovely celeriac recipes anyone can recommend? I might do soup but if someone has a better idea...

ppeatfruit · 27/04/2017 11:00

OK are you all on there now? I use celeriac as I used to use potatoes , I love it!

Hi all,

We're just moving this over to our shiny new vegan topic!

ppeatfruit · 27/04/2017 11:11

Thanks Lorna and Faux !

PeaceOfWildThings · 27/04/2017 11:15

Am planning quick quesadillas tonight with vegan cheeses, onions, tomatoes and other chopped veggies, maybe some cooked pulses. Using square wraps and sliced (and spreadable) cheese. So lazy!

Stilllivinginazoo · 27/04/2017 12:57

Buddha bowls here tonight-
Mashed warm garlicky black eye beans ,sweet potato chunks roasted in cinnamon and cayenne,brown rice,watercress and mashed avocado with roasted radishes

ppeatfruit · 27/04/2017 14:40

Sounds good Still I don't enjoy roasted \ cooked radishes much. I like them raw though. LOVE avocado

I'm having homemade asparagus soup. With a tahini\white bean dressing and spelt toast.

Our local market has lovely economical unsprayed green asparagus at the moment!

Wormulonian · 27/04/2017 16:56

Leftover night as only me for dinner tonight - have checked the fridge and will be having a kind of Meze of lunch and dinner bits and bobs from during the week:
Briam, garlic stuffed giant green olives, baby beetroot with balsamic vinegar and toasted walnuts, mixed bean salad, roast veg faro salad and some beautiful Isle of Wight cherry tomatoes, cucumber, shallots and dill in a salad.

DeliveredByKiki · 27/04/2017 17:46

I had no idea you could roast radishes - does it change the taste much? I love them raw

DH and a friend who was over ordered sushi for dinner last night so I splurged and ordered mushroom enchiladas from one of my favourite vegan restaurants.

Fast day today so very boringly I'm having cabbage and kale soup for lunch, then a marmite bagel for dinner!

Stilllivinginazoo · 27/04/2017 20:08

kiki it softens the fiery nature of radishes to just a warm glow.dd2 only eats raw ones thinly slice,but would eat a whole plate roasted ones and they go a pale pink I find quite pretty!!

PaperdollCartoon · 27/04/2017 20:13

Today I am sick and DP is away with work, so I'm just eating a panini made with a part baked ciabatta, Violife for Pizza vegan cheese, Vbites 'chicken' and 'sage and onion' slices, avocado, Vegenaise and pesto, done in my panini press. Not remotely healthy but very comforting.

Foldedtshirt · 27/04/2017 20:14

Hello! I might have posted waaay back so apologies if I've mentioned this before:
Chickpea and coconut milk curry.
Blitz onions garlic ginger garam masala and chilies and cook off, add coconut milk chickpeas a tsp of marmite and a head of broccoli. Serve with coriander and a squeeze of lemon. Very quick and amazing.

Rockaby · 27/04/2017 20:14

This was our dinner. I'm rather pleased with how it turned out actually, seeing as I completely winged it using the last veg left in the fridge.

Spottyladybird · 27/04/2017 20:16

We had a sweet potato and red lentil curry- yummy!!

ppeatfruit · 27/04/2017 20:51

Ooh I fancy a dahl tomorrow, now you've mentioned it Spotty

FauxFox · 27/04/2017 21:51

We had celeriac soup and seedy bread (and chocolate for pudding )

I need to buy a new sharpie because I have loads of unmarked Tupperware in the freezer from over-catering in the last few weeks and I am having trouble identifying all my vegan delights 😂
