I have my aunt and uncle coming for dinner tomorrow theyre vegan help!?

Question

I need a nice vegan meal for them both. as me and my family are all meat eaters what would u suggest?

Answer 1

Easy, make your best meat dish.

Omit the meat & animal by-products.
Subsitute the meat with beans, potatoes, tofu, vegetarian dumplings or seitan.
Use vegetarian stocks & sauces to flavour. Substitute msg for sugar+salt.
Use olive oil instead of butter/animal fat.
Use starch to thicken & bind instead of eggs.
Use agar instead of gelatin.

It'll taste great & they'll be impressed. It's incredibly easy to turn a meat dish into a vegan one.

If you have come up with something you'd like to make (other then steak! Even a burger, seriously.) contact me, I can help you turn it vegan & still retain all it's yumminess.

Answer 3

Make sure you don't have chicken stock or anything in it by accident. Anyway, I'm sure you know what vegan means. Here's a good recipe site. http://www.vegcooking.com/

Also, you could always go out to eat. There's a lot of restaurants that are vegan/vegetarian all over the world. www.happycow.net

Hope the dinner goes well.

Answer 4

Also check out www.vegweb.com for recipes.

Pasta is always good, but do check the labels. Amy's (www.amys.com) is an all-vegetarian company and has many vegan options. She has a line of pasta sauces. And check the label of the pasta you get to make sure it doesn't have egg!

Tofurkey (www.tofurkey.com) makes a line of sausages you can grill or pan-fry to serve with the pasta.

Make a vegan casserole and make that to serve with rice.

You can make tempeh cutlets. Just marinate them in sauce and grill. Tempeh is a fermented soybean cake. It has a nutty, chewy texture. Serve with potatoes or a rice pilaf and veggies.

Answer 5

Well, I'm not so good on recipies, but I'll give it a go...

Vegetarian chili (I'm pretty sure it's vegan friendly-just don't add cheese!)
--------------------------

you will need:

*tomato sauce (about 1/2 a can for every person)

*kidney beans [canned] (about 1/2 a can for every person)

*ground 'beef' (you can find this in the vegetarian section in your grocery store most likely. I used Boca, but I'm sure Morning Star has some too. I'm not quite sure of the measurements, but I'm sure you can figure it out.)

*chili sauce

*corn [opt] (about 1/4-1/2 a can per person)

*any other veggies you'd like to put in
--------------------------
Directions:

I'll tell you how I cooked mine. It's probably not the BESTway, but you will probably be able to find a better way to cook yours.

See, our oven isn't working at the moment, so I have to use the microwave for everything.

What I did, was I got the tomato sauce and put it in a microwavable container. Then I drained the kidney beans and mixed them in. Then I warmed them up in the microwave.

When they were warmed up, I took them out and warmed up the groud 'beef'. All you have to do is follow the directions on the package you buy.

When everything was warmed up, I mixed the 'beef' in with the tomato sauce/ bean mixture. I then warmed them up a bit more.

When it was all done, I mixed some chili sauce in too.

Also, if you want, you can put corn and other veggies in.
--------------------------

You will probably want to use the stove to cook everything, but unfortunly, I really am not sure how to do so. I'm sure you'll figure something out, though.

Good luck =)
--------------------------

Also, if your aunt and uncle don't mind, you could always have beef and cheese in your chili (just don't give it to them! lol)

Hope that helps =)

Answer 6

I just had a dinner party for a bunch of my omnivorous friends and it was a total hit. Although I am vegan, my fiance is a lacto-ovo vegetarian, so there is usually real cheese (from a local susutainable farm) around the house, and it was used on everyone's dinner but mine. It's easy to leave off, though.

Individual Green Salads
Bruschetta
Spaghetti with Marina-TVP sauce (but you could leave the TVP out)
Dutch Apple Pie
