The vegged up 'Here's what I had for dinner last night' thread

Followed up a random gumtree ad last night to get an order of Salvadorean "pupusas", they we so good!!! I had one stuffed with cheese and spinach, and one with cheese/peppers/mushrooms/jalapenos. Honestly felt full after one, but bravely decided to carry on and finish the second one too!

I made general tso (fu). Was delicious! I used to get this dish delivered in dublin but the people who did it moved to Barcelona. Not to leave their fans in the dust they started making videos of how to make their food.

That's pretty much a teriyaki sauce, isn't it? It does look scrumptious!

I'm not sure what the difference in the two sauces is as they are different dishes in a Chinese, general tso is general orange, and teriyaki is brown and it didn't taste like any teriyaki I've had. In summary, I don't know :pac:

Sweet Beat in Sligo, pretty amazing tbh!

Made some red lentil dal, delicious! When I say some...there's litres of the stuff. Tastes better today after it's sat for the night and thickened a bit.

Made these falafels yesterday and they were delicious. Baked in the oven too instead of deep fried. They shall be made again.

This one, used mushrooms instead of courgette and used a can of coconut milk (strong as you can get)

Found Natural Green puff tofu in Eurasia last week (they usually only have the soft stuff) so had a bok choy, spring onion, carrot and tofu stirfry tonight. Vast improvement over using normal tofu and as I don't have a deep fryer I can't replicate it myself. Intending to go grab some more tomorrow if they still have it.

Frustrated at the lack of good Indian restaurants nearby, I started cooking Indian a few months ago.

Made a butter paneer butter masala this evening including some home made paneer. It doesn't look like much but was absolutely delicious.


I have found quite a few good Indian recipes on this site:

Kind of new at the vegan/vegetarian thing.

Last night was mashed potatoes (sweet potato and normal potato), some onion, a few spices, some garlic, all boiled up.

The some boiled baby carrots and sweetcorn on top of the mash. Some nice ketchup and mustard.

Dessert: Tinned mandarin slices with honey.

Both delicious, and easy.

Taking recommendations for super easy vegan meals btw.

That's the weirdest meal ever haha! :P

One of my fave quick and easy vegan meals I do is fajitas.
I just fry up a load of peppers, onions and mushrooms in fajita seasoning.
Serve in lettuce wraps or normal wraps with jalapenos, homemade salsa and guacamole mmmmmm

Another meal I've enjoyed doing recently is using a 'Blue Dragon' red thai or massaman curry kit.
They are vegan, I add lots of veg instead of the normal meat or prawns.
Delicious!

And veggie Bolognese.
Fry up all the veg - courgettes, aubergines, onion, garlic, peppers, onion, carrots, celery...add in a tablespoon each of dried basil and oregano.
Tin of tomatoes and a small carton of passata.
Simmer away, salt and pepper.
It's lovely chunky but can also be blended for a smooth pasta sauce. Freezes very well.

Finally, check out The Happy Pear's website.
They have lots of 15 minute meals and their daal is very good. I'm yet to try the other things but they all look delicious.

The lazy "I cooked this" dinner is on again. IKEA veg balls, tomato and basil sauce (dice one onion, garlic powder, tin of tomatoes, basil from the freezer, oregano from a jar) and pasta. Pasta takes the longest to cook.

If I've the energy later I'll fry off the kilo of paneer I bought in Eurasia for freezing and figure out what to do with the five spice tofu they had - never seen it before.

Well, you cut your cauliflower head into florets and then slice them in half.

Make a batter from your liquid and flour. The liquid could be soy milk or buttermilk, or anything along those lines. For the flour I used polenta and normal white flour. Make the batter nice and thick so that it coats the wings.

Now, all the recipes I've seen say to bake the wings, but I deep fried them instead. I fried them in my little pot in small batches and kept them warm in the oven.

The sauce is Franks's RedHot sauce with some melted butter or other similar spread.

When all the wings are done toss them in a generous amount of sauce. Eat them quickly as the crispy coating will go soggy after a few minutes.

For the dip I used Danish blue cheese that I melted in the microwave, because that is my favourite one, mixed in with Greek yogurt.

You would not know that you are eating cauliflower.

Oh my 😍😍😍 i have to try these

I make this a lot - Vegan Buddha Bowl



Not my picture - it's from online where I got the recipe.
It's so delicious- lots of flavours and loads of protein. You can eat it summer & winter because the quinoa & chickpeas are cooked.
Just had it now - yum, yum, yummy!

I'm using the above recipe but with TVP chunks instead of chicken and maple syrup instead of honey. First time making it so I hope it will be tasty. It smells amazing!

Lunch pic 1 was a breakfast sambo with linda mccartney sausages, chestnut mushrooms, pan cooked tomatoes and nature moi veg smoked cheese melted to perfection on a toasted white grinder. Serious mess of my pants territory!

Then there was dinner pics 2 and 3, stheak and stout pie with baby carrots, roast parsnips, hasselback white potatoes and roast red onion, the stheak and stout pie was one for the books deep chocolate flavour was boosted with raw cocoa nibs and the crispy puff pastry, done.

Last night I had a lazy dinner of wholewheat pasta, a Dolmio sweet pepper stir-in sauce, and some nutritional yeast sprinkled on top.

The nooch makes it healthy, right?....
