Good Vegan Christmas Recipies???

Question

I just recently made the committment to become Vegan. I am always the one to make huge delicious meals for my family at holidays, and now I am wondering what to make. What are some delicious recipies that would be perfect for christmas? Should I serve the same thing to everyone...or have options for people who are not Vegan?

Answer 1

Hi summer,

As you know when it comes to Veg/Vegan Christmas the recipes are quite similar to Thanksgiving. I am giving you few of my favorite websites hoping it will help.
You can always accommodate the non vegans by making some of their dishes with butter and milk such as mashed potatoes and add butter to the veggies... You can also make them a dairy dessert with egg relpacer. My Christmas is not the same without Noel Nog. It is really delicious.
Merry Christmas.

Answer 2

don't service vegan food to the family, if you make the committment do it for yourself. don't force your ideals onto the family.

besides a vegan christmas meal wouldn't be very much. a vegan diet is very restricted.

no joke.

Green Bean Casserole

3-4 cloves garlic
1 package mushrooms
2 tbsp canola butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cups rice milk
2 cups vegetable broth
salt and pepper to taste
4 cans green beans
French fried onions
4-5 potatoes
½ cup rice milk
½ cup vegetable broth
2 tbsp canola butter
½ teaspoon pepper

Cut up potatoes and put in water and bring to a boil. Cook potatoes until soft. Mash potatoes add 2 tbsp canola butter, ½ cup vegetable broth, ½ cup rice milk, salt and pepper and mash until smooth. In a iron or stainless steel sauté garlic and mushrooms in canola butter. Add flour and create a rue. Add rice milk, vegetable broth, salt and pepper and cook until the consistency of a cream soup. Open green beans, drain and put in a casserole dish. Add mushroom soup mix and 1 cup French fried onions. Top casserole with mashed potatoes and cook in a 350-degree oven for 25 minutes. Top with another cup of French fried onions and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Spinach Pie
2 packages frozen spinach
2 medium onions, cut into slices
1 tbsp Arabic Seven Spice
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
10 tbsp olive oil
6 phyllo pastry sheets

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put 5 tbsp olive oil in a skillet, heat and add onions. Cook onions briefly for about 1-2 minutes, leaving them slightly crisp. Add spinach, Seven Spice, salt and pepper and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Put remaining olive oil in a small bowl. Open your phyllo pastry package and lay sheets flat, keeping them all together. Do not pull the phyllo sheets apart. Brush top phyllo sheet with olive oil and place in a glass pie dish. Brush remaining sheets of phyllo one at a time, pulling each sheet off of the remaining sheets only once it has been brushed with olive oil. Immediately fold up remaining phyllo sheets and place in the refrigerator. Spoon spinach mixture on top of the phyllo dough in the pie dish. Wrap the tops of the phyllo dough on top of spinach, closing it up like a pie. Place in the oven and cook about 15-20 minutes, until phyllo begins golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately.

Add butter, honey or brown rice syrup, maple syrup, pineapple juice, apple juice, nutmeg and cinnamon. In a skillet heat olive oil. Add chopped cashews and sauté. Add syrup and cinnamon and continue to sauté until cashews begin to caramelize. Top sweet potato casserole with cashews and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
