That looks so good
Vegan Home Cooks
Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!
Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.
This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Adults Only.
While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult. If you have a gross and profane username you will be removed.
Thank you. It's my wife's favorite meal since I started making it, so now we make it pretty often.
Tempeh is so versatile and delicious. I haven't had BBQ tempeh in a while, and now I'm craving it.
I'm not vegan, but that looks delicious!
Same. I didn't even notice it was vegan until I read your comment
Thanks, it was quite tasty!
This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing with us
Appreciate it!
Not vegan. Am drooling
Am vegan, tempeh tastes like the Devil's butthole
Here's the tofu version I made a few months ago if you prefer!
Very much so👍
I used to feel the same way, then I learned you can boil it in veggie or vegan chicken broth to mellow out the flavor and add a nice savoriness. Total game changer!
Sounds spicy
It has an earthy flavor from the fermentation process, and a somewhat crumbly texture from the whole soybeans. Like tofu, the flavor is mild and adapts to the cuisine you cook it in. I boil it in vegan broth before cooking to mellow the earthy flavor and incorporate more savoriness.
recipe pls
I was worried someone would ask. I make this all the time but kinda eyeball the ingredients. This time it was something like this:
Dice 2 onions, sautee in oil.
Add 1 tbsp mustard powder, 1 tsp white pepper, 1/2 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp cumin and vegan chicken bouillon.
Add 4 big bunches collard greens, chopped with stems removed, 6 diced garlic cloves and a cup of water.
Cover and let the collard greens wilt, stirring occasionally.
Add 1 can each diced tomatoes and canannelli beans, drained, 1 tsp browning seasoning , 1 tbsp nooch and salt to taste.
Add water as needed and cook until tender.
Make 1 cup dry polenta per package instructions, optionally add 1 cup vegan cheese.
Boil tempeh in vegan chicken broth for 10 minutes, sear both sides in oil. Coat in BBQ and bake for 10 minutes at 350. Continue coating and baking as desired (this is key to good BBQ, as the sauce develops a nice caramelization).
Thanks, will make at some point this week
No problem. Again, take those measurements with a grain of salt since I was just eyeing everything but I think that's pretty close. Let me know how it turns out!
Brotha ewwwwwww Brotha what's that?
😅
It's a delicious and somewhat healthy BBQ dinner made with zero animal products!
