Spring Rolls

Veganit — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 17:57:05 +0000

A refreshing change from the usual fried variety, and have become a family favorite. They are great as a cool summertime meal, and are delicious dipped in a peanut sauce.

MAKE IT GLUTEN FREE: Be sure to use certified gluten-free noodles and tamari (not soy sauce, which typically contains gluten).

MAKE IT PEANUT FREE: Substitute almond butter (if not avoiding nuts altogether) or sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter.

PREPARE IN ADVANCE: You can definitely mix together the peanut sauce in advance. You can also prepare the veggies several hours or up to 1 day in advance, and store them in an air-tight container (they will lose freshness with time). The spring roll wrappers tend to dry out with time or once chilled, so spring rolls are best assembled shortly before serving. If you’d like to keep them fresh for an hour or two, store them under a lightly damp, lint-free tea towel at room temperature (the skin tends to harden in the refrigerator).

Tip: to bulk up the protein, and to make this a complete meal you can totally add tofu strips

Note: The nutritional information is per serving (the peanut sauce is not included)

Chocolate Salame

Veganit — Sat, 03 Oct 2020 14:55:42 +0000

The perfect crunchy treat to snack on. A festive and simple dessert to serve or bring to your next holiday party–or to give as gifts this year.

What´s Chocolate Salame? Chocolate Salame is a Portuguese dessert made from cocoa, biscuits, and a bit of port wine or rum. Some varieties also contain chopped nuts, such as almonds, or hazelnuts and may be shaped like truffles. In Portugal, they are typically made using Marie Cookies. But, since Marie Cookies are not vegan, I used Tostadas Cookies. If you are having trouble finding vegan substitutes for Marie Cookies, you can use digestive cookies.

Paella

Veganit — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 21:35:30 +0000

This Vegan Paella will bring everyone to the table with its distinctive golden color, smoky flavor, caramelized crust, and mouth-watering aroma! Paella – one of the best-known dishes in Spanish cuisine – takes its name from the wide, shallow traditional pan used to cook the dish on an open fire. Paella means “frying pan” in ´Valencian, Valencia’s regional language.

What´s the best rice to use?

The best rice to use is Bomba rice because it has the ability to absorb twice the amount of liquid than regular rice without getting mushy. However, if you can’t find them, the next best replacement is Arborio rice which is commonly used for Risotto. It gets super creamy when liquid is stirred in slowly. Paella is not meant to be creamy, so you definitely don’t want to stir the arborio or you’ll end up with risotto. In fact, you shouldn’t stir paella at all once the broth has entered the pan (like I did).

Veganlette

The fabulous yellow color, the light, and fluffy texture, it’s perfectly ‘chickpea omelet’ to me! Chickpea flour has a very unique and intense flavor. Honestly, I was afraid that it will taste bad, but it turned out to be pretty good! They’re a delicious high protein meal that will keep you full for a long time. They’re incredibly easy to make and you can add any of your favorite ingredients like mushrooms, peppers, spinach, or onions, vegan cheese… How do like to fill your omelets?

Mac no Cheese

Veganit — Fri, 04 Sep 2020 23:57:42 +0000

Who doesn’t love mac and cheese? It’s a classic comfort food recipe, but this version is super healthy, so you can enjoy it on a daily basis! I always feel bad when a non-vegan tastes vegan “cheese” for the first time. We all know that, in reality, not a single one of the veg “cheese” alternatives out there tastes like real cheese. Therefore, may I introduce you to not-real-cheese-but-still-delicious-creamy-yellow-sauce-over-macaroni.
