Hi!, last week I had time to prepare three different vegan sauces, when my friends told me we were doing a barbecue on Saturday and wanted to prepare something special, it occurred to me that instead of preparing the main course or grilled, I would prepare the sauces to dip the grilled vegetables.

I made three completely different sauces, which can be made to accompany any dish because the three are delicious!. Thank you very much to my friends Maria and Joanna for helping me with the setting and styling and especially for being a veganisimo so adorable fans! You can follow them on instagram: @mariasanzricarte y @thegreencourtyard

The idea was to play with color and flavor, but also that the different flavors of vegan sauces ligated well between them, and I decide to make a mango and curry sauce, a barbecue sauce and cheese sauce.

Mango and curry sauce

For this vegan sauce you will need few ingredients and flavor you get is very intense and fruity, we discovered that it match perfectly with mushrooms. The color of the sauce is lovely and is super-pretty on the dish.

  • Fix flavor if needed.

Vegan barbacue sauce

This vegan sauce seems simple but the trick is on the point of spicy, I did not put tabasco but paprika; but if you like it spicier you can add a touch of tabasco or your choice.

PREPARACIÓN

  • In a glass bowl or blender, we put all the ingredients and blend everything until smooth.
  • Correct flavor if needed.

Cheese sauce

This vegan sauce is thicker than the other two, even serves as pâté, is super soft and the taste is very sweet, also can be used as if it were cream cheese, vegan philadelphia style.

salsa-queso-vegana
INGREDIENTS

  • 250 ml soy cream
  • 150 grams of raw cashews
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh thyme for garnish

PREPARATION

  • Leave cashews soaked for 10 minutes in hot water to soften it a bit before shredding.
  • In the blender or food processor and put the first the soy cream and then the cashew nuts and other dry ingredients and blend about 7 minutes. (It depends on the power of your blender).
  • Correct flavor if needed.

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.

empanadillas-veganas

empanadillas-veganas

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.

empanadilla-vegana02

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!

Hummus is a typical dish from Middle East, very easy and with many properties and benefits for our organism. Lately we can find it in several supermarkets, and it is quite common in Spain, I propose the classic hummus recipe, so you can do it at home and avoid all the preservatives that you can find in the packed ones sold at the supermarkets. In this post I also tell you 13 different ways to prepare it and also the benefits of hummus.

HUMMUS BENEFITS

Its high fiber and protein, helps control appetite, and low glycemic index make it a very powerful combination for weight control. Hummus is a great source of iron, and becomes complete protein when eaten with bread. Even if you do not want to eat bread, you can replace it with raw vegetables like carrots or celery.

Hummus contains many minerals such as iron, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium, and vitamin B, niacin, folic acid, thiamin and riboflavin, which helps to protect and improve the state of different body organs and the muscular and nerve system. Its main ingredient, chickpeas, are rich in folic acid.

Hummus is an exceptional source of fiber. It will help you to regulate your body which will improve your digestion and, by boosting your metabolism will help you to lose some weight.

Chickpeas are, on the other hand, very effective to regulate blood sugar levels. Hummus is also notable for the amounts of healthy carbohydrates and slow absorption that provide energy to stay active longer.

Finally there are also studies indicating that helps prevent the risk of cancer.

This recipe is key to lots of dishes and also as a dip for potatoes or chips; also for the typical Mac&Cheese. The truth is that it is so tasty, overtime I do it it magically disappears. The recipe is very easy and if you have guests they will love it, and it really tastes like real cheese!

cheddar_vegano

The main ingredient is potato, it gives the cheese the smooth and cheesy texture. Carrot and nutritional yeast are other important ingredients of the recipe, the carrot gives the cheese this golden color so we can call it “vegan cheddar” but be careful with carrot, with an small or medium carrot it might be enough, we don´t want an orange mixture.

We can use another vegetable if we don´t have potato or carrot, like cauliflower or pumpkin. Personally I prefer the taste of the potato and the carrot, but you can get substitutes.

This cheese is perfect to serve when it is still hot, we use the vegetables as they are cooked so all the ingredients get mixed while everything is hot. If your cheese gets cold, you can add a little bit of soy milk and heat it while you stir it and get the melted cheese texture back.

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!

macarrones veganos

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!

macarrones con queso veganos

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».

  • 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.
