Reverend Jax Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm going to experiment with a recipe I found a while ago. Will post it here if it works out tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aartemys Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Jax, you posted somewhere once that you were eating stuffed peppers...I don't remember if it was here or on FB, but that looked sooooooooo good! Can you possibly post it here? I've been wanting to make a stuffed something dish and it just looked so good. I'm not vegan, not even close, but post surgery, I have eaten less and less meat -- however, since I need to eat things high in protein, I wonder if its possible to eat this way and still get what I need (minimum of 60g per day)... I look forward to trying some of these recipes. Our new apartment is within walking distance to our town's Co-op market that has bunches of vegan goodies. Do you guys ever cook with TVP?

Aarty, you can get more protein from veg than meat. The protein per 200 calories is much higher in many vegetables over meats.

Reverend Jax Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I forget what I had in that bell pepper, but I think it was something like: Slice the top of a bell pepper, pull out the stuff in the middle and stuff it with a combination you cook in a pot for about 10 minutes of: black beans, pinto beans, garbanzos, red beans, corn, peas, garlic, onion, mushrooms, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and whatever else you feel like.

Aartemys Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Lila...yummm! That is something I will definitely try out. I'm living off of Boca Vegan burgers lately. I really like the taste of them and they are super easy to prepare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinestetici Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Aarty - there are soooooo many things you can do with the vegan veggie patties too. Have you tried using those tempah maple strips yet? If you fry them, they end up tasting like bacon (except better because there isn't any grease), throw them on top of the vegan patties, and voila - bacon burgers. I always eat mine with hummus and spinach and jals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aartemys Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 My tummy doesn't like fried foods, but I will definitely give it a try...I've been DYING to have bacon lately...I smell it even when its not there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinestetici Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Oh! Aarty - there are **tons** of decent pho bacon products out there. Although, not all of them are vegan. But Morningstar Farms makes a veggie bacon that I remember being really great (it's been years since I've had it though admittedly). You can also make your own, which is a lot less hard than it seems. And as far as frying the tempeh strips - you only kinda brown them a min on each side. Just so they get kinda crispy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) The Morningstar Farms one is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike bacon. But it's pretty damn yummy. I always keep some in the house. Edited April 17, 2012 by Thelogan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lipala Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Morningstar makes me sad. They used to be so good and then out of nowhere decided. "Our food doesn't have enough EGG, vegans should be eating more aborted chicken embryo" and like 90% of their stuff become non-vegan safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 It's really more like chicken period, yeah? That's a bummer. I never had any beef (heh) with animal products though, just actual dead flesh. I had a hard enough time being vegetarian, I don't know how you vegans do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Our food doesn't have enough EGG, vegans should be eating more aborted chicken embryo" and like 90% of their stuff become non-vegan safe Right about that same time though, Bocca turned like 90 % of their products totally vegan. And honestly, I think they taste better anyway. I'm addicted to the soy crumbles - I use them at least once a week now. GD. Now I want chili. Again.

I'm addicted to the soy crumbles - I use them at least once a week now. Yeah, I use the crumbles frequently too. My enchilada bake wouldn't be the same without them. That said I have a rule that I can only use meat substitutes every other week. Helps a lot with the nutrition levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Morningstar makes me sad. They used to be so good and then out of nowhere decided. "Our food doesn't have enough EGG, vegans should be eating more aborted chicken embryo" and like 90% of their stuff become non-vegan safe Yeah, but I have to believe it's hurting their sales. About half of all vegetarians in the US are vegan, a percentage that is going to continue to grow, in my opinion. I have taste to many delicious plant-based meat products (and plant-based dairy products, from cheese to whipped cream to sour cream to cream cheese to ice cream to yogurt to butter, etc) to believe that any large food company cannot easily make vegan product just as good as a vegetarian one. I believe the choice to add egg to previously vegan products will inevitably reveal itself to Morningstar to have been unwise, despite their initial reasons to do it, whatever they might have been. That's a bummer. I never had any beef (heh) with animal products though, just actual dead flesh. I had a hard enough time being vegetarian, I don't know how you vegans do it. As a big, fat, food-loving, gluttonous guy, I have to say it is really not that hard. It appears impossible from the other side, but if you do it discovering new foods you never ate before, rather than just limiting yourself the foods you already ate that just so happened to be vegan ("well, I've cleared out my kitchen of all non-vegan foods, and all that's left is a jar of pickles, some Rice Crispies and some peanut butter...I guess that's all I'm allowed to eat from now on and forever!"), I do not animal flesh nor animal reproductive secretions. I get frustrated at times that something that doesn't need to have animal products does, like a Morningstar burger or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but vegan burgers exist and so do vegan peanut butter cups, but Walgreen's does not have the vegan PB cup there when I'm standing in the line to pay, and often times the diner I might go to with a group of people only have a Morningstar veggie burgers, so that can be frustrating, but I do not crave the taste of anything with murder and exploitation in it. And at this point, even if plant-based versions of meat and dairy products were unavailable, they are a luxury, not a necessity. You may recall I spent a week in Cuba, and my mother and I ate breakfast where we were staying and in restaurants every lunch and dinner, and many places had nothing vegan on the menu. I asked for special orders, often saying "please just cook up a bunch of vegetables with oil and no butter" (but, you know, in Spanish). I did not want for any food while I was in Cuba. One's palette changes. I can understand someone having difficulty staying vegan if it's a diet, because fuck diets, they're made to be cheated on, in my opinion, and I think most people's opinion. But for me, because it's about ethics, nothing short of a life-and-death situation it going to make me want to violate my personal ethics on this matter. I wouldn't personally rape or murder a person to satisfy a frivolous gastrointestinal whim, nor would I personally rape or murder an animal to do the same, so I'm not going to outsource that rape and murder and feel better about it because it is out of my sight and earshot and smell-range. Hmm...I'm moving away from recipe talk and back to the ethics stuff I split off to another thread. I might move this post over there later.

Aartemys Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 As far as flavor with the burgers at least, I think Boca > Morningstar I just bought some Soy-rizo from Trader Joe's...it's really good although it might not look too appetizing when you take it out of the casing, lol...Ben loves the stuff. I'm so glad he's basically gung-ho with anything I try. The only thing is that I have to read labels carefully since some of the stuff has nut ingredients in it.
