can anyone recommend a LOW CARB vegan dinner recipe please?

Answer 1

Folks, how rude! If that is what gym_princess80 wants…


Courgette Ribbon Pasta with Mushroom and Cream

This is a very satisfying low-carb version of pappardelle
Serves 2

450 g (1lb) medium courgettes, washed and trimmed
Olive oil

For the Sauce:
1 tbs olive oil
15g vegan margarine
225g (8oz) button mushroom, washed and halved
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
4 tbs soy cream
Salt, freshly ground black pepper, grated nutmeg

Start with the sauce.
Heat the olive oil and vegan margarine in a pan, put in the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, then stir in the garlic. Add the cream and bubble over the heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Season to taste with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg, set aside.

Bring half a saucepan of water to the boil. Meanwhile cut the courgettes into long, thin ribbons by running a potato peeler down the length of each courgette. Put the strips into the boiling water, bring back to the boil and cook for two minutes or until al dente. Drain immediately and return to the pan.

Reheat the sauce. Either add the sauce to the courgettes and mix well, or toss the courgettes in a little olive oil, serve out onto plates and top with the mushroom mixture.

This is often served with rice or flat-bread. I know people have made low-carb versions of bread products you could hopefully use.

Answer 5

I fix this often - my entire family loves it. So easy too!

2 - 3 zuchinnis
1 large onion
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
7-9 mushrooms
1 can stewed tomatoes
Large handful of fresh parsley
TONS of garlic
Olive oil
Little salt & pepper

Cut up all veggies and put into large bowl, liberally spash olive oil over veggies, adding can of tomotoes & salt and pepper as well. Stir well to coat and then dump the entire bowl onto a baking sheet/cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 for about an hour. All the vegetables will carmelize - it is SO YUMMY.

I serve this with wild rice, tossed green salad and bulgarian feta cheese.

Try it!!

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/iaHqZ

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 7

oh my. quite limited here, aren't we?

How 'bout a nice green salad with some yummy veggies and a light oil and vinegar dressing.

Hopefully this is for a friend stopping by for a meal and you are trying to accomodate both while she's there. I cannot imagine trying to do low carb AND vegan for very long.

Answer 8

Delight Rolls
Take cabbage leaves, layer spinach leaves, layer roasted red bell peppers, & spread dip (tofu, garlic-minced, balsmic vinegar mushed togther and heated through) then roll up and fold in sides like a package and steam for about 5-8 mintinues.

Answer 9

your favorite vegan wrap filling (hummus, beans, eggplant, mushrooms, avocado, fake meat or anything) and replace the wrap with a big romaine lettuce leaf.
oh and this meal is low carb

or maybe some nice bean chili served on a bed of salad.

Answer 10

Very low carb diets are VERY unhealthy for anything long-term. If you have a problem with carbs, go with a "Smart carb" diet, such as South Beach, which, by the way, has a version for veg.
