Featured Vegan Recipes
Orange Rice with Pineapple Tofu
The Caribbean sits in history as the crossroads of the world. As a result, many different cultures influence Caribbean cuisine. Rice, ginger, and citrus fruits come together from all over the world to meld perfectly in this dish.
Neeps and Tatties
Neeps and tatties are a classic Scottish side-dish. Neeps, also called swedes or rutabegas, are a wonderfully buttery tuber with an interesting orange color. Tatties are simply potatoes!
Vegan Empanadas with Quick Corn Dough
Want empanadas but don’t have all night to let your dough sit? This crusty corn dough is ready for use immediately.
If you prefer wheat over corn flour, try our other empanada recipe, Empanadas with Tender Wheat Pastry.
Vegan Bánh mì
Bánh mì or banh mi is a kind of sandwich that consists of a Vietnamese single-serving baguette, which is split lengthwise and filled with various savory ingredients.
A typical Vietnamese sandwich is a fusion of proteins and vegetables from native Vietnamese cuisine such as tofu, coriander leaf (cilantro), cucumber, pickled carrots, cabbage, and daikon combined with condiments from French cuisine such as pâté, along with jalapeño and mayonnaise.
Turnip Curry (Shalgam)
The sliced turnips in this dish have a very delicate mouthfeel. The flavor profile is warm and nutty, great for autumn and winter.
Crunchy Sushi Roll with Spicy Nuts (カリカリロール)
This kari kari roll sounds strange, but it is delicious! The flavor is both sweet and savory, and the crunch is out of this world. If you’re the kind of person who puts peanut butter on your Oreos, this is the sushi for you.
Vegan Empanadas with Tender Wheat Pastry
The star of this recipe is the flaky, easy-to-crimp dough from Viva Vegan! The flavor and texture of this dough is so good, you’ll wonder if you’re not at a professional bakery. Like most good pastry, the most important ingredient is time. This dough needs to be left to chill for at least four hours!
For a fast empanada without the wait time, you can try making it with the crusty corn dough from this recipe. I prefer the wheat version, but if you’re in a hurry the corn dough is excellent!
