Healthy Vegan Dinner Your Guests Will Love
When guests with dietary preferences plan to pop in for dinner, moms or cooks of the household end up in a whirl after racking their minds for things that vegans may find edible.
Vegans generally do not eat foodstuff derived from animals, and they have varying degrees of aversion to such foods. There are actually many foods vegans do not eat.
Thinking of buying your favorite anchovy pizza or making an impression with caviar? Forget both.
If cheese-laden dishes like tasty cheese-crusted pies are your favorite, you’ll have to shelve them for a while, as most vegans cannot eat cheese, unless it’s vegan gourmet mozzarella. Even using lard for cooking is a no-no.
Think of vegetables like spinach, broccoli, and eggplant as ingredients. If there’s time and all the other ingredients for your healthy vegan dinner are not available at a nearby all-natural products store, you may purchase them from online stores.
In planning a healthy vegan dinner, think of nutritious foods without the eggs and other foodstuff of animal origin. Go for pumpkin or lentil soup with cinnamon, and delicious apples.
Base your meal planning on pasta and beans, peas and lentils and you will not go wrong. Consider stir frying broccoli, carrots & beans, and pan-frying tofu in a wok, with peanut butter sauce served on top of brown rice.
An alternative route with the tofu is to whip up tofu veggie burgers. Cooking with tofu is an art, though, and not everybody likes it, so try to check if your guests will prefer other meal options.
There are delectable recipes for a memorable and healthy vegan dinner you can prepare in a snap, like spaghetti with cherry tomatoes.
Cook the way you would any other spaghetti recipe sans the meatballs. When the pasta is cooked, add tomatoes, about one-third cup of capers, and about one-fourth of pine nuts.
Sprinkle a few teaspoons of heart-healthy olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. You can go for a heartier pasta recipe with Mediterranean flair by simmering for about 10 minutes eggplant with champignons, olives, artichoke hearts and basil.
The spaghetti is served with the vegetable sauce on top. For dessert, serve homemade vegan blueberry muffins using apple cider vinegar.
