Do you have any vegan recipes?

February 26, 2007 5:27am CST
I have a competition on my website for the best vegan recipe. The person who gives me the best recipe by the end of this month (only 2 days to go!!), will win some lovely chocolate. If you have a recipe and would like to enter you can either look at the site (http://www.recipesforvegans.co.uk) or post it here on this site and if it is the winner I will let you know what you need to do to get your prize. Why not give it a try? All you need is a recipe that has no meat, fish or animal products. It can be something really simple.

Bake until beans are bubbly or cheese is melted. Sprinkle with avocado chunks and shredded lettuce and serve with salsa.

This might sound weird, but it is my favorite thing in the world. Trust me- kids and adults love it. Ingredients -4 Organic Taco Shells -Red Raspberry Jam (or Jam or Jelly of choice) -4 large vegan marshmallows -Peanut Butter Preheat oven to 350 F. Assemble the sandwiches by coating one side of inside of shells with peanut butter, followed by the jelly. Cut the marshmallows into thirds and put three pieces on each taco shell on top of jelly. Pop onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper into an oven for 7-10 minutes (until taco shells become crispy and start to turn a more brilliant toasted color). Serve the "tacos" as you would a peanut butter sandwich. They are awesome!

I do have many vegan recipes in my recipe folder but I do think that due to I do not live in your country that this would not apply to me but any recipes that you find of mine you may certainly put them on your website to help others with only eat vegan food.

Vegetable casserole - this isn't an exact recipe as you can alter it to suit yourself Select some vegies and stir fry them. I usually go for zuccini, carrots, cauliflower, onions, capsicum but you can use what you like. You could add tofu if you wanted. Boil 2 cups of pasta and strain it. Mix the pasta into the vegies and add a tin of tomato puree. Once everything is well mixed, place it into a casserole dish and top it with a mixture of breadcrumbs and herbs. Put it into a casserole dish and bake it for 10-15 minutes in a moderate oven

Vegan Pancakes Ingredients two thirds of a pint (350ml, 12 fl oz) of soya milk 3 heaped tbsp white self-raising flour 1 tsp soya flour pinch of salt 1 tbsp sparkling mineral water (optional) Method Whizz all the ingredients except the water in a blender and check the consistency by dipping a spoon into the mixture. It should evenly coat the back of the spoon. If necessary, add more soya milk or more flour. Gently stir in the sparkling mineral water. Heat a heavy-bottomed or non-stick frying pan and pour in 1 easpoon (no more) of vegetable oil. Ensure it evenly coats the pan. Pour in ¼ of the mixture (this makes quite thick pancakes - use slightly less if you like them thinner). Tilt the pan quickly to ensure even coverage of the mixture. Cook on a medium heat until golden brown. Turn over and cook other side, then slide onto a plate and cook the next one.

Vegan Buffalo: Ingredients: 1 cup rice (brown or white) 6 oz pasta (rice, wheat, veggie) 2 tomatoes 1 potatoes spinach (handful cut small) cumin (a dash) 1 small onion 1 can beans (red, black, kidney, any combo) peanuts (a handful) 1 clove garlic whatever else you think might be good! Directions: Weve all heard of the hairy Buffalo that college kids make by mixing various liquors, well I noticed that cooking all these odds and ends in my kitchen turned out to be pretty tasty and cheap considering its made from the scraps you have laying around the kitchen. I decided to call it Vegan Buffalo! I told the owners of several vegan restaurants about this and they usually offer it one or two days out of the week for really, really cheap. It draws in the freegans who find change laying on the sidewalk on their way over! Kid's Favourite: Ingredients (use vegan versions): 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin discs 1 small eggplant (aborigine) sliced into thin disc 2 Large potatoes, sliced into thin disc 1-2 cups olive oil 1-2 cups flour (I use spelt) 1-2 cups yummy breadcrumb mix* olive oil for frying Directions: *Breadcrumb mix: 6 pieces stale bread, ½ cup dried chopped parsley, salt and pepper. Finely chop/grind bread and mix in parsley, salt and pepper. You need to have a little production line going on. Dip each veggie disc in the oil, flour, the oil again and then the breadcrumb mix. The kids love doing this bit. Once all the veggie pieces are coated, fry them in the frying oil until golden and crunchy. They're so tasty and kid-friendly. I sprinkle mine with some salt and serve with some home made oven-fries and sliced cucumber. They are good as meat replaces in burgers too.

Tonight I am going to have an avocado sandwhich: Whole Grain Bread Veganese - Vegan Mircle Whip uses a whipped soy beverage instead of eggs Avocodos Lettuce or your favourite dark leaf greens Red Onion, thinly sliced Mustard Tomatos Some people like salt or other seasonings but I like to keep things simple. Sometimes I slice a sweet pepper and use it as well. Try sprouts if you want. Veganism Rocks!
