Vegan what’s for dinner thread?

Sorry if there is already one of these on the go. I used to be on a vegan what’s for dinner thread and it was fab.

Wondered if anyone would like to join me on this one?

I’m not actually vegan, but try to eat vegan most of the time.

Tonight we’re having either jacket potatoes with hummus and salad or Asian coconut broth with rice noodles, veg and peanuts.

Hello! New/transitioning person here!

Tonight me and DP are going to have vegan bean burritos with smashed avos :)

I had a vegan cheese and smoked hummus sandwich for lunch; it tasted good!

I just made this curry with butternut squash, potatoes, green beans and tomatoes. Will be eating it with rice and salad.

Oh and butter beans too Smile

Ooo just found this!

We are having green presents for tea, something I can make quickly and easily and guarantee clean plates all round

Wraps
Quorn seeded fillets
Lettuce
Cucumber
Spring onion
Vegan green pesto
Edamame beans (for the adults only)

Really easy, throw the fillets in the oven while chopping the veg, then assemble with pesto, spring onion (edamame if using) cucumber then lastly lettuce, take the fillets out of the oven, put one in centre of each wrap, fold ends up then fold the sides in and cut in half

Called wraps (so original Grin ) then DD insisted on them being green wraps because you can only have green stuff in them, and youngest heard wraps shortly after someone's birthday and immediately thought wrapping paper, so they ended up as green presents Grin

Love the green presents!

We cooked up an ottelenghi feast on Friday so are eating the leftovers forever! A wheat berry and pomegranate salad, a lentil and aubergine salad and a green salad with orange blossom dressing and roasted butternut squash

So the vegan burritos were a triumph expect for the pretend cheese which was appalling.

Tonight is mushroom risotto. Any thoughts on how I can give it a slightly creamier texture?

Thisnamechanger · 13/08/2018 18:21

Also, we stopped for service station food last night (one with a mini waitrose) I HIGHLY recommend their curried veg sandwich with aubergine pickle - was seriously impressed.

Vegan pizza from Mod Pizza. I had mushrooms, sweet corn and pepper on and it was delicious. Not sure what cheese they use (in the US I believe it's daiya?) but I liked it.

We are not vegan but had pulled jackfruit rice and tender stem broccoli tonight. Having eaten this twice now I have no idea why anyone would prefer the meat version.

thisnamechanger try a bit of cashew butter

headinthecloud · 15/08/2018 11:03

Tonight we're having stir fry vegetables with rice noodles and tofu. I get in such a rut with meals and end up cooking the same thing all the time. This thread is great if we can keep it up

@TellMeItsNotTrue why are the adamame beans just for the grown ups? 🌿

Soyrizo fried up with cabbage, potatoes and shit tons of coriander and lime

lastqueenofscotland · 16/08/2018 11:27

Bbq tofu with rice and beans

ApricotExpat · 17/08/2018 14:38

Curried broccoli soup. Followed by dates and almond butter!

lastqueenofscotland · 18/08/2018 08:17

Yesterday I had Sundried tomato and artichoke risotto
Today will be a big curry with all the trimmings

Biologifemini · 18/08/2018 08:24

Mushroom and courgette risotto
I stick onion in the blender first with a little garlic and Chili.
With brown rice and sometimes some cauli rice.
Bread on the side.

lastqueenofscotland · 20/08/2018 13:24

I’m having some puy lentil and veg concoction today. Need to go food shopping desperately

DeliveredByKiki · 20/08/2018 14:13

We'll be doing cauliflower alfredo pasta this evening....I feel like we need a veg with it though and frozen peas will probably have to do

Woah. I just clicked on here thinking I’d get lots of recipe ideas (I have, thank you) but am also feeling seriously freaked out that I’ve just made exactly the same as the last poster for tonight’s tea (cauliflower Alfredo like kiki) and was also thinking ‘I need to get some peas’ Grin

Great minds MrsJaneAusten

TellMeItsNotTrue · 22/08/2018 00:02

Avocado just because the DC don't really like them

ApricotExpat · 28/08/2018 09:03

Planning ahead already - hungry! Squash and mushroom falafels / burgers - however I shape them.

kikisparks · 01/09/2018 09:42

Last night was spaghetti lentil bolognese with cheesy garlic pizza bread and custard donut. Bit of a carb night!
