Your favourite vegan recepies please?

Question

I am a recently converted vegan, and am having trouble finding interesting, really tasty recepies.
Does anyone have any they would like to share with me?

Answer 1

Here is a Recipe that I got from my mother-in-law (my partner was raised vegetarian)

Cottage Cheese Loaf

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
in a bowl combine
16 oz cottage cheese
1 egg
1 stick of butter
1 cup of chopped pecan
2 cups of Special K cereal

Put this in a greased pan and bake until brown
This is really good,, I was not raised Vegetarian and since being married I have had to learn how to cook vegetarian, and this is a dish that anyone will love!!!

Answer 2

Little bit concerned that some of the people on here are encouraging you to eat things like honey, cottage cheese and butter which aren't vegan. (But how many times have you got sick of explaining what a vegan actually is?!)
My advice would basically be, always use organic vegan vegetable stock in everything. You can also get a low salt one I think. But it's the only way I can find to really add any flavour to anything. It's perfect for soup, or sauces. Obviously you can also add lots for herbs and spices but you need to keep it interesting.
I was vegan all last year, but then I lapsed because I found it too hard.
Finally went back vegan again yesterday, filled with renewed enthusiasm and excitement! Plus, it's a great way to loose weight too. Never really got over the guilt of eating dairy for the last 7 months, so I'm gonna try really hard this time.
Good luck!

Answer 3

Here's one for Hungarian Mushroom Soup (hope you like mushrooms!) It's not as hard as it looks. And when I make this, even my Mom (who isn't vegan) begs for a bowl. I've been vegan for about 6 years and like to cook, so I've found a few cookbooks that are pretty good. This recipie comes from "Foods That Don't Bite Back" by Sue Donaldson. Enjoy!

2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 large onions, sliced thinly
4 cups white mushroom, sliced (or chopped roughly)
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1 Tbsp. sweet paprika
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. dried dill

2 Tbsp. margarine
2 1/2 Tbsp. flour
1 cup soymilk

2 tsp. lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pan/pot over medium heat. Lightly salt the onions and saute for a few minutes. Add mushrooms, 1/2 cup of stock, spices/herbs. Stir. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
In a small saucepan, melt margarine , add flour and cook. Add milk when the margarine/flour is cooked (basically, make a roux). Cook, stirring frequently, over low heat for 5-10 minutes, or until thick. Stir in remaining stock and stir thoroughly. Then add this to the mushroom mixture. Cover, simmer 10-15 minutes. Add lemon juice just before serving, and salt/pepper to taste.

Answer 4

Vegan tacos:

Get some silken tofu, and mash it up along with Chipotle sauce, ketchup, cayenne pepper, chilli powder, paprika, and cumin, and a vegan barbecue sauce to taste. Heat it up a little, and use it in a vegan taco shell. Use canola oil, vegetable oil, or olive oil to fry the shells. Serve with lettuce, tomatos, onions, peppers, avocados, etc.

In general, tofu is good for simulating only two kinds of meat: ground beef (crushing silken tofu) and oriental tid-bits for stir-frys and such. (Get the strongest, and dice it.)

Other tricks will require you to figure things out on your own, since I'm not even a vegetarian.
