Vegan no,4 What we eat every day !! Everyone welcome

[ppeatfruit]

Hello newbies, regulars etc.

@KobaniDaughters how do you chickpeas the instapot, I've never tried them in mine I usually just bung a handful of various grains and hope for the best, mine is actually used most for its yoghurt function.

Thank you @ppeatfruit hope you don’t mind me joining, I’m trying to find nutrition inspiration as just want all of the snack foods! Yay for impending baby

I have an old cookbook with cannelini bean (w Tabasco, garlic, lemon) and broad bean (W cumin, garlic,mint) hummus recipes that are fab, much prefer either to any chickpea concoction

Today:
B. Muesli, strawberries, walnuts, alpro Greek yoghurt
L. Leftover chickpea potato frittata, sautéed onion, yellow pepper, courgette, tomatoes
Sn. Apple, pear, Pom bear
D. Homemade takeaway style curry with Linda shreds & mushrooms, rice, mini magnum (Morrisons)

@KitchenFishCurry I put about double the water to chickpeas, a bay leaf or two and sometimes some garlic cloves then manual on high for 35-40 mins, I do a huge batch so I can then freeze them for convenience

@theneverendinglaundry I find the random, cheaper, lesser known, usually Middle Eastern so in a different aisle, brands are so much nicer than supermarket own as well

@ppeatfruit
Thanks!!! Only 4 weeks left 😁

B: Richmond sausage with brown sauce on toast was lush lol

Skipped lunch

D: Chickpea mushroom and spinach curry with Bulgar wheat and homemade nooch naan

How exciting @Greenrubber!

B: toast and marmite in bed (hardly slept)
L: spicy bean wrap and a smoothie
D: oven roasted veg (sweet potato, peppers, red onion, mushrooms, beetroot and corn cobettes) with baked Tofoo and hummus, tahini and date molasses dressing

@KobaniDaughters this is an adaptation of the rose harissa chickpeas that I batch cook/freeze leftovers from

www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/food/2020/feb/08/meera-sodha-vegan-recipe-rose-harissa-chickpea-stew-burnt-chard

And this one is something Ive done a variation of a few times. Last time, I just topped the seasoned whole roasted aubergine and topped with plain soya yogurt and a spoonful of harissa paste

@ppeatfruit are you off on your travels this weekend? Bon voyage if you are 😊

Yesterday was an odd one for me as I had a late lunch again thanks to editing and physiotherapy and then just snacked when I got home come cos the physio made me work really hard and I was starving but hadn’t really thought out a proper dinner!

L: orders a selection of vegan tacos and ceviche in
“D”: orange, cashew yoghurt and blueberries, Brazil nuts, DC’s leftover green beans, some leftover naan, spicy pea snacks

Joining in the hope of tasty tofu recipes. I love tofu but dc don't and we all have a bit of a cheese addiction I've been vegetarian for 31 years now and was vegan for 2 as a teen. I'd love to incorporate more vegan meals into our diet.

You're very welcome Beast (especially nice to meet someone who 's fed up with the ubiquitous chickpea !!!! ) Shame because I'm posting now to sign off for approx a month. I have an on line break when I'm in Eng. looking after dm.

You have a good memory PartTime Yes I'm off tomorrow and just praying that the crossing isn't going to be too bumpy !
I'm equipped with ginger supplements and mint ess. oil to sniff which worked well last time.

I'm going to miss this thread it's the best on MN IMHO .
Love to everyone xxx

I'm taking a defrosted bean dip with fruit\nut\ seeds snack pack. Pumpernickel and a HM salad. With a chocolate almond dessert. Oh and a pineapple juice. Water of course.

Safe travels @ppeatfruit

L chickpea and sweetcorn toastie and salad ,crisps
D homemade veggie balls in sauce with pasta and veg , garlic bread

I cooked the chickpeas in the instant and everyone complained of the smell, tasted ok though. I tried making some mayonnaise but it wasn't a success . Its the second time I've used the recipe last time it was too thick and this time far too runny and has split not sure what the difference was

@kitchenFishCurry

Why is vegan mayo so expensive it has less ingredients in it 🤷‍♀️

Did the homemade stuff taste good? Was it just the consistency that wasn't right

It tastes great because I add loads of garlic and nutritional yeast just can't get the consistency right . Its a recipe from veganomicon plant milk mixed with flaxseed then add the oil, I maybe should have left the milk and flaxseed to develop for longer to take on a more eggy texture. When you make traditional mayonnaise from egg you can alter the thickness by changing how much oil you add but I can't remember if you add more or less I suppose it would be the same for the vegan version
