What's good vegan food?

Question

I'm having a party in december and some of my friends are vegans so I don't want to make vegan food that tastes like crap
what are some vegan recipes that taste good?

Answer 1

I love burritos. Tortillas, rice, beans (not meat-based) guacamole, salsa, jalapenos.

It's great that you're being such a caring friend!

Answer 2

I am a meat and potatoe kind of girl, having said this, I am also a very open eater and I'm willing to try and to try to cook just about anything. (big food fan) Here's a dish that might get him! A vegan portabella burger. or you can turn it into a pita fajita! Grill the portabellas, even marinate them over night before hand! Find some tasy buns or pita bread (grill or toast inside of buns) and top with other tastiness like red onion and spinache leaves, put a pickle on the side and make some hearty beans as well! when grilled, portabella taste can really resemble the taste of meat, steak that is. I got my bf to eat it and he was thouroghly impressed! he asked to have it again recently, stating that it had been too long =) If he's a decent guy he'll let you serve him some home cooking and be very receptive and appreciating of the new dish. good on you for not being forceful! but he shouldn't reject your cooking.

Answer 3

Pita and hummus is always a winning combination. So are crudites with hummus. Get some chips and salsa as well. I think www.vegweb.com might have some party-type snack recipes available.

Try to find vegan nuggets, heat them up, and serve with ketchup or vegan BBQ sauce.

Yves makes a vegan taco crumble mix. You can heat that up in a skillet, chop some veggies like tomatoes, lettuce, onion, etc., shred some Follow Your Heart (vegan cheese) cheddar style and have your friends make their own tacos. Make sure the soy cheese you get does NOT have casein in it, as casein is a milk protein.

Good luck, and thank you for being a considerate friend.

Answer 4

Hummus is always a winner. Cook your own dried chick peas in the crock pot. They are cheaper, and better than canned, and your hummus will be smoother. Add lots of roasted red peppers, olive oil, tahini, and some garlic. YUMMY. Serve with toasted vegan pita, or sliced fresh veggies.

A fruit tray would be good.

You should be able to get vegan friendly tortilla chips at the health food store, and serve them with salsa.

Make your own potato skins, and toast them in the oven with an olive tepanade.

Answer 5

I find that potatoes cut fairly small with little julienne cuts down the side roasted in olive oil with a vegan friendly gravy always goes down a treat.

Or roasted eggplant, capsicum, mushrooms and zucchini on little bread rolls baked in the oven for 5 minutes with tahini drizzled over the top.

Or try quinoa as a dip with cranberries in it, using vege chips, snap peas, carrots and/or other veges to dip.

Answer 6

Falafel balls - falafel mix with water, form into balls, deep fry. Tasty.

Also, you can't go wrong with veggie samosas. I don't know how to make them, but they're cheap to buy - here in Vancouver they go for about $1 for four at a cheap place.

You didn't mention whether you were looking to cook a whole vegan meal or just make snacks.

Answer 7

For a light dessert I boil apple slices, remove the skins, and top them with organic cinnamon. Tastes like apple pie.

Answer 8

what bout those little things next to the sushi in the deli?? they are carrots, cucumbers sliced i think in thin shoestring style, wrapped in some kind of lettuce or something. you can dip them in the sause they sell there too., i really dont know waht they are called but they are really good.

Answer 9

OK many vegans love beans. for a snack i eat pinto beans on a taco shell....if that helps.

Answer 10

you dont have to go all out, just call them and ask what they like. then search for the recipe on google.
