vegan recipes: a list thread

haha this is a v particular issue to have

For the past couple weeks, I've been experimenting with vegan brownies (well, brownies and brownie cookies) with the added challenge of avoiding coconut oil, and I think that I've figured out a way to use regular vegetable oil without the brownies coming up super dense: add some cornstarch. I'm not quite sure about the proportions as I eyeballed the amount I put in but it was something like 1-3 Tbsp for what ended up being 4-5 Tbsp of oil and 1 cup of flour.

have you ever tried black beans?

or another mild tasting bean like adzuki might work too

Black bean brownies were some of my earliest baking experiments! I guess I should revisit them.

I've hit upon a perhaps even easier fauxgurt recipe: blend one ripe avocado in a food processor, then add one block of silken tofu (along with taste
enhancers .ije juice from a lemon, 1 tbsp apple Cider Vinegar, 0.25 tsp salt), blend till smooth.

I could never quite get the cashews as smooth.

This shakshuka was fabulous when I made it a few weeks ago and I was looking forward to making it again last night, but I was out of tomato paste and when I went to my supermarket they didn't have any in a tube. :(

I've made this about 3 times and it's pretty idiot-proof: https://www.pickuplimes.com/recipe/vegan-gado-gado-with-sun-dried-tomatoes-186

looks good as hell

Yeah I love it! Some of the substitutions I make: broccoli (make sure to peel them) instead of green beans, tahini instead of peanut butter, and srirachi because I don't have sambal oelek. Perfect blend of savory with a touch of sweet.
