I’m subbed to that comm specifically for inspiration ☺️ I’ll have to keep an eye out for your username in particular- feeling like this is a place with actual folks I see regularly and can say hello to makes me happy :)
Out of curiosity, do you have any “incidentally vegan” faves? Like dishes that are already vegan, or that are super close with minimal modification?
So far my two dishes I’m really happy with are chickpea curry (just made it with coconut milk for the first time so its totally vegan now ☺️) and mujadara (I’ve been making it with a Greek yogurt sauce as topping, but I wanna try making a tahini sauce at some point. Its just more expensive 😅)
Or honestly I’d also welcome any easy but tasty dishes, I find a lot of recipe websites wanna suggest super elaborate stuff but I kinda struggle to keep up with eating and making food, so simple staple dishes really help, and those would also probably have the biggest impact in displacing meals I’d otherwise eat that have animal products
Chilli is always an easy one, and most stores sell a dried ground up TVP to toss in instead of Ground Beef.
My typical go to is an Indian style lentil soup with a variety of lentil types and mixed be. I find it simple because I set it on simmer for half hour or so, and fry up the veg to toss in for the final simmer. ( Daal Fry )
I work from home so getting dinner started , or oven going is easy to monitor; so I’m not the best person to ask for simple meals.
If you go to my account and click posts, you’ll see 90% of them are vegan dinner dishes.
I really wanna try tvp at some point but haven’t seen it around at the places I shop, I’ll have to search for where I can get some
Lentil soup has been high up on my list of things to try. Daal too, I’m curious what its like. I only tried lentils in like the last year but I really like the green ones I’ve had so far- I’m hoping to get some brown lentils for the mujadara some time cause I think I’d like them better for that dish than the green
Thank you for taking the time to type out your thoughts ☺️ hope you have a lovely day!
Most veggie/vegan natural stores sell it. Just a dried protein. A slight generic flavour to it like cereal. It absorbs flavour from your sauces or marinades. Here it is about $8-$12 for a bag that will last quite a few meals. But we found an Indian grocery story that sells it as Soya Wadi and its only about $3 per bag. Same stuff. Either in big chunks or ground up into ground beef size bits.
Goes well into tacos, chilli, shephards pie, etc.
Daal mostly depends on what you cook with it, besides the lentil themselves, like a tomato based sauce, yogurt, lemon, etc.
The black lentils stay the firmest and have texture after cooking, the red lentils will cook down to a paste…and there are a ton of other types.
