What's your favorite staple vegan recipes?

Here's mine:

>Smoky lentil stew

>4 dl or 1.7 cups of red lentils
>1-2 onions
>8 cloves of garlic
>2 carrots
>1 litre or 4.2 cups of veggie stock
>3 chipotles in adobo sauce, a few spoonfuls of the sauce itself to taste
>a can of tomatoes
>2 tablespoons of tomato puree
>cumin, coriander, cayenne, oregano, salt and pepper to taste (I do like 1 tbsp/2 tsp/1 tbsp/2 tsp/1 tsp each, maybe)

>dice the carrots and onions and fry in vegetable oil
>add chopped up garlic, fry for a minute or two, then add the tomato puree, fry for another minute maybe
>add the canned tomatoes (crush them if you're using whole tomatoes)
>add the veggie stock, chop up the chipotles and add them and a few spoonfuls of the adobo sauce, then add all the spices
>rinse lentils well and add them, stir
>let it simmer for ~40 minutes or until it looks nice and thick, you might want to give it a stir every 10 minutes or so if you're not using a non-stick pot
>adjust seasoning, serve with rice

I don't make much vegan food, but I do make vegetarian food as the egg & dairy industries are fairly moral if you purchase from the right producers.

thoose are some wierd eggs

[Anonymous No.13694398]

>>13694393
They're the male chicks they grind alive because they don't lay eggs and are therefore unprofitable

[Anonymous No.13694411]

>>13694398
You can buy eggs where the male chicks weren't shredded.

[Anonymous No.13694420]

>>13694398
why are there male chicks at all? dont they sell them as eggs? why let the eggs hatch?

[Anonymous No.13694423]

>>13694420
The eggs you buy at the store aren't fertilized

[Anonymous No.13694431]

>>13694398
Grinding them and putting them in dog feed is profitable though.

Mine is mozzarella sticks made with cashew based cheese
I can actually use the toilet properly with all the fiber I get now

[Anonymous No.13694489]

>>13694478
I eat like 40 grams of fiber in one sitting doing OMAD with rice and beans, it's getting kind of scary actually

Tofu scramble with toast. It's cheap, easy to make, and it's always good for getting rid of any veggies I have in the fridge that need to be used up.

What can you make with cashews, bros?
I bought 3 pounds and I'm already tired of just snacking on them

[Anonymous No.13695805]

>>13694411
dubs checked and is that so?
i was just researching this the other night, afaik there aren't any places which don't do it.

Furthermore, even with backyard hens/chickens, it depletes their calcium and bone density quite a bit to lay an egg, basically takes a lot out of them, and if it's unfertilized they eat that egg to regain it back. not like it's TORTURE in that case to take it away from them, but I still do feel shitty about being so invasive and commoditizing them in a way that jeopardizes their health just for a fuckin fried egg, even though they're just dumbass chickens

>>13694292
wayyyyyyyy too many to name, OP.
I guess my all time favourites are mostly just variations of japanese and thai dishes, usually I post the whole recipe cause I like to spread vegan recipes on here, but I can't even pick one from the top of my head

I usually just make
-Japanese curry
-Japanese restaurant style ramen
-Thai curry
-fried tofu with whatever sauce
-buffalo wings with gardein chicken tendies
-pb&j
-mashed potatoes and green beans with bbq tempeh and creamed spinach
-pizza with artichokes, olives, capers, seaweed, random shit
-drunken noodles
-pad thai
-burritos
-shepherds pie
-burgers
-hot dogs


everything i make is pretty much just normal popular recipes but with the vegan version of whatever meat instead

i also occasionally eat >deenz and >chovies and >mussels because they most certainly lack the neurobiological faculties to feel fear and pain and its super healthy, but thats the most nonvegan i'll go

[Anonymous No.13695816]

>>13695805
furthermore some good and underrated recipes are
butternut squash ravioli,
spinach and tofu ricotta ravioli,
ravioli with faux beef grounds,
fish and chips with gardein fish
stromboli with lightlife pepperoni (that shit was AMAZING but unfortunately I haven't seen it sold anywhere in quite a while)
vegetable tempura
agedashi tofu
kitsune udon (this is actually my all time favourite meal hands down)
parfait with strawberry soygurt or on occasion when i feel like indulging in a little dairy i'll have skyr but that's very rare of me to do

look up cashew cheese recipes, those can be alright if done correctly but they're a pain in the ass cause you gotta soak em for a bit and usually need a food processor and cheesecloth, it's a whole pain in the ass

otherwise i guess you can soften them up in a curry or toss them with panfried/baked tofu in a brown sauce like the chinese restaurants do cashew chicken

bonus: melt chocolate, dip em in that with some chopsticks and throw em on a plate in the freezer, chocolate covered cashews, wa la

aren't the vast majority of staples vegans eat carbs and soy?
not to mention they graze all day with greens

I don't often eat vegan but dahl, I am a huge fan of all the seasonings and ingredients, if I had to pick a vegan dish that's the one. I cook it often but I add meat and cheese, plus eat with egg.

[Anonymous No.13696866]

Stir some soft-ish tofu and onions around in a pan for awhile. Add spinach, curry powder, salt, and lemon juice. Pretend it's a paneer dish or saag. Eat with rice or awkwardly scooped onto one of those flatbreads Indians like so much.

Make mashed potatoes. Let it cool. Mix in flour. Let it rest. Roll and slice into small chunks. Boil until they float. Wa la: gnocchi. Mix with whatever -- probably an oily sauce.

Mushrooms: let 'em go in the pan for awhile, basically until cooked -- they will shrink and lose lots of liquid -- then add other stuff to the pan.
Good with corn, maybe onions and pepper.
Good with peas.
Good with nut milks and creams.
Good with a bit of mustard and miso.

I gotta fucking learn how to make dal tarka and a good sambar but every time I could be learning I'm back at the ol' Indian buffet slamming some delicious dal tarka and fucking sambar of the gods.
