Lieselotte

hi!
I'm looking for baking - recipes without eggs, milk, yeast, nuts or chocolate.
Any ideas?

Doctor Benway

You could try here. It's a PETA site with a load of recipes on it. One thing to bear in mind, though: it does tend to include brand name vegetarian or vegan products from the US that might not be available here. However, even if the recipe itself doesn't suit, you can always use it as a starting point for ideas and Google similar recipes.

Is there anywhere in dublin like these places? They sell vegan jelly in the health shop in Stevens Green, but that's about it as far as I know.

The Hungry Tiger Blog

http://stuttercut.org/hungry - This girl is an inspiration because she's so free and creative with her food. I really envy that because I tend to play it safe with recipes.

The Post Punk Kitchen

http://www.theppk.com - First of all Isa rocks because she just does. Look, they have their own cable access show (the Wayne & Garth of food, if you like) and their food (what I've tried) is great. Loads of Vegan baking too (somone asked above) Buy a DVD, buy the book! (or not)

I like humous sometimes but not very often. There's a humous that's sold in The Old English Market (in Cork City) and it's delicious; it's made with sun-dried tomatoes and chilli too. It's very good. Although expensive, it is strong tasting, so you don't need to buy much of it. I sometimes but it and some ciabatta bread in the market.

Nature Boy

Anybody ever make hummus? mmmmm home made hummus :-)

Backtoblack

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.

Serve this as a dip with raw veggies or as a spread for sandwiches. You could also enjoy this on its own in half a whole wheat pita with tomatoes and cucumber slices.

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed. (410g)
60g (2 oz) chopped roasted red peppers.
30g (10oz) tahini.
Half a teaspoon of ground cumin.
Half a teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil.
2 tablespoons of water.
1 tablespoon lemon juice.
1 small clove garlic crushed.

*In a food processor, pulse together the chickpeas, peppers, tahini, cumin and slat. With the food processor running, add the oil and water until it is very smooth. Pulse in the lemon juice and garlic.


**Note: I use sundried tomatoes instead of the red peppers! as many as you like 3 or 4 depending on how you like it yourself**
So easy to make and really delicious!

Backtoblack

Dried Chickpeas

2 cans chickpeas, drained & rinsed.
2 table spoons extra virgin olive oil or rapeseed oil
Half teaspoon of salt
Pinch of Cayenne

In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas with the oil, salt and cayenne. Spread them onto large baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake them in a 200 degree c (gas mark 6) oven, shaking the pan a couple of times during cooking, for about 45 minutes, or until golden. Leave to cool.

Makes about 675g (1 and a half pounds)

Helpful hint, you can add more salt or other spices if you would like to change the flavour of the chick peas.#

ztoical

don't know about anyone else but I hate using cookbooks with picture cus my food never looks like the one in the book which is why I love the arty chokes Livejournal community - its a veggie and vegan recipe journal but what is great is that people who posts recipes have to post several pictures of the steps so you can really see how the dish develops and what it looks like at the end.

one of my favs

I never noticed this thread before.....thanks love that site Z.

Idea for a stickie thread. - Post your favourite easy recipe that has gone down well with meat lovers - makes for better dinner parties.

As a carnivore (please don't hate me) married to a vegan, I can say that some vegan dishes can be awesome and now I have 2 days a week meat free.

Rules are - should take no longer than 20 min to prepare and 30 min to cook. All ingredients should be readily available.

My contribution - a version of the potatoe rosti from todays "something for the weekend"

Roasted Pepper Rosti

4 Large potatoes
2 large onions
2 red & yellow peppers
a few sundried tomatoes
1 salsa chilli
salt & pepper

Boil the potatoes in skins for 7 minutes, then allow cool & peel the skins.
Grate the potato into a bowl

Cut the peppers into 2" pieces and roast in oven for 15min


Cut the onion into fine strips and add to potato
Cut the chilli finely & add to potato
Add salt & pepper to taste

Heat a non stick pan with some light olive oil.
Put about half the mixture into the hot pan and firm down. Allow to cook on medium heat for about 6 minutes.

Place the roast peppers & sundried tomaotes (and any other item you wish) on top of the mixture in the pan and then cover with remaining rosti mixture and firm down.

Flip the rosti over (easiest way is to slide onto a plate and then place the pan upside down over the plate and holding plate & pan together, twist the pan back to normal position.)

Cook for a further 6 - 7 minutes until golden and then place in oven for crisping up for approx 5 minutes. - Either on the pan if its oven proof or slide it onto a baking tray.

Serve with minted peas and a tomato relish.


Total time should be approx 40min

Uttery gorgeous and dreadfully easy.

Thanks for the contribution, look forward to reading about or eating any!

Hi,
I'm going to try to make my first nut roast for Christmas dinner but am overwhelmed with all the recipes out there.
Could anyone suggest a vegan recipe that they've tried? Ta!

After reading a load of recipes I just made my own up last night, though it was more of a vegetable and nut roast than a nut roast! I just fried up a lot of stuff in a pan; garlic, diced sweet potato, grated cabbage and carrot. Threw in some thyme, cumin, salt, pepper and chilli flakes, added some chopped walnuts, peas and chickpeas, stirred in some breadcrumbs and cooked quinoa then pressed it all into a loaf tin. I topped it with mashed potato and baked it for about half an hour.... and it was really nice

And I added a little stock here and there to prevent it getting overly dry, about 100ml in total I'd say.

Vegan Pesto


I really just guessed this but oh my goodness, it is SO good. I was worried that without the usual parmesan it would be bland but I don't even notice the difference!

Here are appoximate measurements:

- 40g fresh basil
- 250g pine nuts
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper

• I don't have a food processor but just a hand wizard which worked wonderfully.
• I gave the pine nuts a pulse or two and then the basil along with some of the olive oil to help the hand wizard not get clogged.
• I cut the cloves of garlic in half and added them in with the salt and pepper and oil.
• I adjusted with a little salt/pepper to my taste.
• That's

it, super easy!


Super Spicy Curried Couscous

Super nutritious, quick, tasty and satisfying.

This makes about 8-10 big portions.

- 500g couscous dried couscous
- 500g tofu block
- Olive oil for cooking
- Agave syrup
- 2 vegan sausages (I used Redwood lincolnshire style herb sausages)
- 8 mushrooms
- 2 carrots
- 2 sticks of celery
- 8 scallions
- 1 red chilli pepper
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- salt and pepper to taste

• Place 1 bag (500g) of couscous into a pan or any heatproof bowl with 650 ml boiling water with one dissolved organic vegan stock cube. Mix once and cover. After 5-10 minutes separate grains with fork.
• In a frying pan saute tofu (cut into smal cubes) in a little oil and agave until golden.
• Add chopped mushrooms, carrots, celery, chilli pepper, sausages and scallions and saute gently on a medium heat for about 10 minutes until carrots and celery are still crunchy but softer (or to your own taste).
• Add a little oil if they start to stick to the bottom of the pan.
• With a little oil and a teensy bit of agave to help the herbs spread, sprinkle over the herbs and spices and salt and pepper.
• Leave on a low heat for about 4/5 minutes.
• Mix

the couscous and veg together and eat with a happy heart!


Lemony Minty Rice Dish

A really nice side dish or if you're like me one of many odd dishes people can pick and choose from.


Ingredients:


- 300g basmati rice (white is bes for this dish)

- 10 mushrooms

- 8 shallots

- 1 green pepper

- 2 lemons

- 10 mint leaves

- Olive oil

- 3 cloves garlic

- 4 table spoons soya milk

- 1/2 tube garlic paste

- Salt and peper to taste

• Cook rice first.
• Saute chopped mushrooms, then onions and then garlic in some olive oil.
• Add in chopped green pepper and cook all for about 5 minutes.
• Add the juice of 2 lemons (if big one will be enough)
• Chop and add the mint leaves and stir continuously for 3 minutes.
• Add the soya milk and garlic paste and stir for 2 minutes.
• Add rice to the vegetable mixture and it's done.

Groovy Black-Eyed Pea Salad


I got a basic greek salad recipe for black-eyed peas but changed it a bit.

- 1 bad dry black-eyed peas (soaked over night and then cooked for about an hour until soft but holding their shape.
- 1 red pepper
- 1 yellow pepper
- 7 scallions
- 1 red onion
- 1 block tofu
- 1 dessert spoon cumin
- 1 dessert spoon dill
- 2 bay leaves
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil & a bit for frying
- Juice of 1 or 2 lemons
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 dessert spoons agave syrup


Cut the red onion in half and submerge in water.
While the peas are boiling, saute some tofu in a dash of olive oil and the agave syrup (gives a sweet crispy coating to the tofu). When golden add in the chopped red and yellow peppers.
Pop in the cumin and garlic (chopped finely)
Add the above to the drained peas along with the now chopped red onion and sliced scallions.
Add in the white wine vinegar, oil, lemon juice, crushed bay leaves, dill, salt and pepper.

That should be it, I think I've remembered everything.



Groovy Chickpea Stew


- 1 bag chickpeas (soaked overnight and boiled for about 3 hours) also any other beans you have left over will blend nicely in this
- 3 cans of chopped tomatoes
- 8 mushrooms
- 6 cloves garlic
- 6/7 tomatoes
- 1 large onion
- 8 shallots
- 1 green pepper
- 2 carrots
- 3 celery stalks (large)
- 1 red chilli
- 1 green chilli
- 1/2 tube garlic paste
- 1/2 tube tomato paste - double concentrate
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- a couple of dashes of white wine vinegar
- 3 dessert spoons corriander
- salt and pepper to taste

• While the chickpeas are boiling chop the onion, shallots, mushrooms and garlic and saute in a little oil.
• Let them cook gently until the soften and the juices start to flow out.
• Add the green pepper, chilli, then celery carrots and saute until they start to soften, they'll properly in the sauce later.
• Add a few splashes of vinegar.
• Chop and add the tomatoes, then the garlic and tomato paste, stirring for about 5 minutes.
• When all the veg look ready add in the three cans of chopped tomatoes and then the corriander, salt and pepper.
• Let this simmer for about 2-3 hours.
• When ready (judge by taste and appearance) add in the drained chickpeas and
• cook for a further

30 minutes.

And ta-da!
I put two chillis in and my hands stung after de-seeding them but really I could have put another one in as there wasn't a huge kick to it. It can be eaten hot or cold.


Groovy Cucumber Relish


My Aunt made this last summer and I decided to try my own version. It is super easy and tasty.

- 2 cucumbers peeled and then sliced super finely (I use the peeler)
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 4 dessert spoons Agave syrup
- Juice of half a lemon

• Slice up the cucumbers (they should look slushy).
• Add the rest of the ingredients and leave in a sealed jar after a good shake in the fridge overnight. The sharpness softens overnight as the sweetness of the

Agave works it's magic.

It goes with everything but I'm a sucker for anything sharp and vinegary.

this rocks - http://whfoods.org/

lots of recipes and a nifty quiz that assesses your diet and tells you what nutrients are missing and what foods to find them in.

I'm a crappy eater so had no idea certain things easily added to food could make such a difference - top of my list on the quiz were rocket, spinach, mustard seeds and parsley.

ps. george is freaky!
