Vegan/Vegetarian Thread (discussion, recipes, laughs)

nycfem · 03-12-2019, 07:10 PM

I'm very interested in vegan keto and vegan paleo, not necessarily doing them but for sure getting ideas from them. I watch a lot of youtube videos on the topic, and I always learn useful information. I pick and choose what I incorporate into my own lifestyle and way of eating. Tantalizing, I hope you will share with us as you go. And yes, Greco is the Master- has been very helpful to me.

So after research and trial and error I am not doing vegan keto. Too many macros and micros. I am doing whole food plant based only which excludes all oils, faux meats, and anything highly processed. The only processed foods are lightly processed and used sparingly such as sprouted bread, tofu, brown rice, certain flours and no white flours or rice. I juice low glycemic fruits and vegetables every morning right after I wake up and drink a warm 16 oz glass of water and no more coffee/caffeine. Everything I eat I make from scratch. My skin is singing. And besides my normal exercise I started body flow work. My energy level is up and I feel amazing. I found my niche and it's all so easy.

I have been peeing pink since I juiced two large beets a few days ago. It needs to stop before I convince myself I am dying from something...

I saw this recipe tonight and wanted to share. Serve the dish as is, for dinner. A simple green salad and, if you have it, some fresh bread is perfectly enough alongside for a satisfying and comforting, yet light, dinner.

Fried chickpeas, roast pumpkin and tahini sauce

Okay I will admit I haven't done a lot of research but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed.

I bought some firm tofu. I googled how to cook it. It wants me to press the tofu. From what I can gather this means putting it between two cookie sheets. Is that right??

Also I have heard that tofu takes on the flavor of the sauce it's in. Do I cook it first and then put it in the sauce? Or do I marinate it and then cook it?

Wondering if a vegetarian could help me...

Wrap your tofu in paper towels, put it between two plates, put a super heavy book on top and leave it for a couple hours. Invert the top plate so both the "eating" sides are facing each other, if that makes sense.

That's the way I do it every time. Alternately, you could use cookie sheets but you really need something heavy on top to press it.

Alsi, yes--on its own tofu does not really have much flavor. You need to provide seasonings and it will take on the flavor of what you're cooking with.

What CCB said.

Also, you can freeze it and then thaw it and then press it. That gives it an even more firm texture and creates more pockets to absorb sauce.
