Hi! Today I have made Vegan Patties, it is a “veganized” recipe made from my original patties I have always made when I ate meat, and these ones are so tasty and healthy and so easy to do.

The main ingredient is texturized soy, the truth is that I haven’t used it a lot, but it is always amazing when I cook with it, and I include it more often lately in all my recipes. I usually do burgers, pasta, or lasagna with the texturized soy.

You can find it in big supermarkets or specialized shops, I buy the smaller one, or the thinner, just because you can close better the patties and spread the filled better. You have to hydrate texturized soy before using it, you have to cover it with hot water and wait from 10 to 15 minutes until it is ready to use. Before mixing it with other ingredients you have to drain it; also for better flavor add some soy sauce.

Here you have the recipe, tell me what do you think, and if you do different fillings, so I can learn something new too, leave comments below!

When I started to eat Vegan one thing I missed a lot was Cheese, for me it is an important ingredient for most of my recipes, and my favorite one, Pasta. At first all my pasta was with tomato or vegetables and aromatic herbs, but digging on the internet I found how to make this Mac & Cheese with Vegan Cheddar Cheese which are amazing, and the flavor is like real cheese!

The recipe is divided into three parts, first of all the macaroni, you can use your favourite ones, I use ones that are thicker and a little bit rounded; secondly the Cheddar Cheese that will give the flavor and texture of the real mac and cheese and third and optional the parmesan which we will use to spread over and get them into the oven to grill and get the lovely golden color. In this recipe I used my  «Almond Parmesan recipe».  I hope you will like it and leave me comments below!

The Cheese you have to prepare is very very similar to Cheddar Cheese, with a yellow, golden tone and it is quite similar in flavor too, you can do it with nachos or whatever you will love to, I will upload a recipe in the Cheese section on the blog so you can check it out, «Vegan Cheddar Cheese».

These Macaroni brand la Molisana are great, I have discovered them recently, they are quite thick, so this pack goes for 4 people easily and the dish will be clean!

  3. In a cooking pot, place the potatoes and the carrot diced for 20 minutes until they are cooked.
  4. Drain the vegetables and add the rest of ingredients except the macaroni and mix them with a blender so you get a smooth sauce similar to melted cheese.
  5. Once we have our "Cheddar Cheese" add the cheese with the macaroni, so everything is well mixed.
  6. Finally if you like, you can add on top some of the Parmesan Cheese I have talked before (it is on the blog)

Pizza is one of the easiest dishes to go vegan, it is because the multiple variations that you can do with all kind of veggies. The pizza I present you today is with an special ingredient: capers.

Tipo de Receta: Pizza
Cocina: Italian
Ingredientes
  • Pizza dough (you can buy it or do it yourself)
  • Tomato sauce
  • Capers
  • 8 Mushrooms
  • 1 small yellow pepper
  • 1 small red pepper
  • Vegan cheese
Instrucciones
  1. First we preheat the oven 180º temperature meanwhile we prepare the rest of ingredients to put them on the pizza dough.
  2. Wash the veggies and chop them in small pieces so they cook well.
  3. Put the Pizza dough on the oven tray, I prefer the rack tray to cook the pizza so it gets crispier and well cooked.
  4. Pour the tomato and stir with a tablespoon evenly over the dough so everything is well covered.
  5. Put the different veggies over the dough and the previously tomato sauce.
  6. Once we have put all the veggies and mushrooms over the pizza, add the capers and the vegan cheese, you can skip this part if you like, but the final result is very tasty. It is important if we use vegan cheese to figure out if it is made for melting or not, you may use the melted cheese for this recipe.
  7. Once everything is ready, we put our pizza into the oven, medium high for 20 min at 180º temperature. Have a look from time to time because the cooking time may vary from one oven brand to another.
