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)

Gaspacho

Gazpacho, also called Andalusian gazpacho, is a cold soup made of raw, blended vegetables. It originated in the southern regions of the Iberian peninsula, specifically Andalusia, and spread into the Algarve regions. Gazpacho is widely eaten in Spain and Portugal, particularly during Summer, as is it super refreshing and cool.

This is an Andalusian version of Gazpacho. It´s fresh, cold, easy to make, and is an ideal way to taste the peak of summer with all the intense flavors, aromas, and colors of the season.

Seitan Steaks

My dear grandmother, who took care of me and my brother when we were little, often used to cook steak with mushrooms. We loved it and always asked for a second plate.

This is my vegan version of my grandmother’s recipe.

Note: Of course, it will never be as good as grandma’s (grandma’s recipes are and will be always superior).

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).

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.

Gumbo

Veganit — Wed, 02 Sep 2020 17:40:37 +0000

Why is this one of the best soups ever? Let me explain: During cooking, okra exudes a mucilaginous liquid that lends the soup with a sumptuous, silky texture. The chickpeas thickens the broth and adds a nutty flavor that compliments the vegetables. And finely, the spices incorporated at the end further enriches the dish and provides a faintly peppery, grassy bite. Of all the dishes in the realm of Louisiana cooking, gumbo is the most famous and, very likely, the most popular. Although ingredients might vary greatly from one part of the state to another, a steaming bowl of fragrant gumbo is one of life’s cherished pleasures, as emblematic of Louisiana as chili is of Texas.
