People always ask me what do vegans eat, so here are some vegan meals and snacks I've eaten recently,
Dhal. We usually make the dhal recipe from River Cottage Veg Every Day, but Joe made this one up, because the recipe books are still packed! It was pretty good, and we had some chapatti and broccoli with toasted almonds on the side.
Tomato and garden herb pasta with garlic bruscetta. I've had a few homegrown tomatoes, so I've been making tomato sauce, with lots of homegrown herbs. The garlic bruscetta are from Home Bargains, they're really cheap and they even say suitable for vegans on the packet!
Clay Oven Bakery Naan Bread. I discovered this vegan naan bread in our local ethnic supermarket. They're soooo big!
Violife. I discovered Violife vegan cheese in a block, so I've been grating it on everything! I haven't had grated cheese since I went vegan 8 years ago, so this is a pretty big deal for me! Yum!
Vegan cheese quesadilla. More grated cheese! This is a pretty boring photo of what was a very tasty vegan cheese and spring onion quesadilla.
Vegan broad bean falafels. I made these with homegrown broad beans, spinach beet and coriander, added to a pre-made falafel mix. I added in oats and chia seeds too.
Everything looks delicious! I haven't found yet a vegan cheese to like, we are thinking to make our own from cashew nuts but didn't try it yet.
ReplyDeleteWe make cheese from pine nuts sometimes, it's not solid cheese, more like stuff you can sprinkle on, it's yummy though. Let me know how it goes if you make cashew cheese, I'd be interested in knowing how it goes?!
DeleteI really like those naan, they are huge! I sometimes buy the Pana naan from Home Bargains too, they're 49p for two and are sfv. I've had to stop buying those bruschetta as I have no sense of portion control once the bag is open.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with the bruscetta, once the packet is open they don't last long at all!
DeleteThose naan are incredible, when our local shop has them we fill the freezer!
ReplyDeleteThey are, aren't they! I keep toasting them, spreading them with (vegan) butter and eating them for breakfast!
