Seitan vs tofu "turkeys"?

Brook

So last year for Thanksgiving I made a stuffed tofu loaf ("tofurkey" if you will.) I really enjoyed it, but I've been eating a lot of soy lately, so I'm thinking tofu may not be the greatest thing to have for Thanksgiving dinner (and lunch the next few days.) My little sister, though, insists on having a fake turkey that night. So I was wondering if anyone has ever tried making a stuffed seitan loaf/turkey? I've never had seitan, but I've heard great things about it. Anyone have any reviews or tried and true recipes? I'm not really interested in premade products if there are any, but tips on making just plain seitan would be welcomed as well. Thanks in advance! :)
2b2gbi and marsh: I am not a fruitarian, nor does my religion prohibit me from causing harm to plants. If you believe that people should refrain from eating or using plant products, that is your business, but I would prefer that you do not preach to me as I have not and will not preach to you. Also, your responses in no way answer my question.
Oops, I guess those two deleted their answers. Please ignore the above added details. :)

Answer
Seitan roasts are quite easy to make and a delicious alternative to soy turkey roasts. This recipe I have made and is quite delicious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npw2LKpag5o&feature=channel. The exact recipe with measurements can be found at everydaydish.tv. I halved the recipe since there are only a couple vegetarians in my family. You can make this seitan roast fancy by adding a glaze to it and by using the puff pastry (most puff pastry is vegan, just check the ingredients) crust.

Another suggestion I have is this vegetarian meatloaf. http://www.vegnews.com/web/articles/page.do?pageId=1489&catId=11 I've made this too and it's really tasty. I usually like to add extra sauteed onions, garlic and mushroom for more flavor. I like that this recipe contains less processed foods. However, it doesn't taste anything like turkey, but it is another option that goes great with traditional Thanksgiving side dishes.

Any good vegetarian recipes? Suggestions?

I was vegetarian (ovo-lacto) for about a year in high school. While I loved the diet and had no issues leaving meat behind, I was not exactly the healthiest eater and did not have a family to feed. I am considering making this lifestyle change again. Do anyone have any suggestions for meat replacement? We already eat tons of veggies and I always offer variety. Any good recipes with tofu/other meat replacements? For now, we would still consume dairy/eggs, with a goal of going totally vegan slowly.

Answer
This dish made all my meat-eating family members go gaga.

Vegetarian Meatloaf:

Ingredients
1 (12 ounce) bottle barbeque sauce
1 (12 ounce) package vegetarian burger crumbles
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/3 cup minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
2.In a bowl, mix 1/2 the barbeque sauce with the vegetarian burger crumbles, green bell pepper, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Season with thyme, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Transfer to the loaf pan.
3.Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Pour remaining barbeque sauce over the loaf, and continue baking 15 minutes, or until loaf is set.

I usually have to cook it about an hour for it to set and I also mixed barbeque sauce and ketchup instead of just BBQ. Hope this helps! :)

can you meake "meat"loaf with tofu?

luna:]

since turning vegan, i really miss meatloaf, is there anyway i can make meatless loaf with tofu? recipes would be great :]]
hahaha it probablly would taste a little bland, but maybe if you seasoned it?

Answer
I've not heat of "meatloaf" made out of tofu, but you could make a really mean one out of seitan.

You could also make one out of Gimme Lean ground "beef" in a roll. I've tried the second recipe (Mama's Mock Meatloaf) and it is SO good! I hated meatloaf when I actually ate meat, but this recipe made me fall in love with it (go figure).

Here's the link: http://www.vegcooking.com/recipeshow.asp?RequestID=149&Search=meatloaf
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Good recipes?

Coop <3

So recently my husband and I have been sort of frightened at some of the things that are unnecessarily put in our food (in the name of preservation, etc.), and have decided that they are no better than poison for our bodies. For this reason, we have made the decision to become vegan, simply because veganism cuts out the things that we find most disturbing--meats, dairy, eggs--and other things that are exposed to horrible environments and processing. I have been a vegetarian in the past (I stopped when we got married because I honestly wasn't doing it very healthfully, and my husband didn't understand back then why I was a vegetarian). Now we are older and wiser and ready to make the jump, but I'm afraid he's going to miss meat, so I'm trying to explore meat substitute products (which I have never explored before). My other concern was that being vegan may be too expensive for our budget.
Any recipe suggestions (esp. with meat subs.), or cost control ideas?
Also, if anyone has any good info pages on the different kinds of meat substitutes and their culinary uses, I would really appreciate it if you sent them my way :)

Thanks.
Sorry to be long (and ignorant), but also, if you knew of any common mistakes that new vegans make, please inform me! Like, what's the deal with gluten?

Really good vegetarian cookbooks/recipe websites?

Jack

It seems that all of the recipes I've found so far online are disgusting and try to make meat-like dishes with meat substitutes (tofu meatloaf, etc.) Any recipes like that 1.) sound repulsive, and 2.) don't taste too great either.
Can anyone suggest any vegetarian cookbooks and/or websites with recipes? Preferably not vegan, just vegetarian. Thank you!
By vegan, I mean [preferably] not recipes that exclude dairy. And no meat-substitute dishes, like meatloaf made out of tofu or something, for example.

Answer
The best one I have ever owned is called "The vegan family cookbook." The recipes are delicious, and easy to make.

What kind of sandwich? vegan style...........please?

sweetz

I've been craving sandwich ....any good ones out there like is there such thing like vegan ham or turkey products...

Answer
You can buy fake meats in the grocery store frozen food section, like Morningstar farms, Quorn or Bocca...sometimes they use eggs I think though..read the labels. Here are some links to recipes..

Really good vegetarian cookbooks/recipe websites?

Jack

It seems that all of the recipes I've found so far online are disgusting and try to make meat-like dishes with meat substitutes (tofu meatloaf, etc.) Any recipes like that 1.) sound repulsive, and 2.) don't taste too great either.
Can anyone suggest any vegetarian cookbooks and/or websites with recipes? Preferably not vegan, just vegetarian. Thank you!
By vegan, I mean [preferably] not recipes that exclude dairy. And no meat-substitute dishes, like meatloaf made out of tofu or something, for example.

Answer
The best one I have ever owned is called "The vegan family cookbook." The recipes are delicious, and easy to make.

What kind of sandwich? vegan style...........please?

Easy Vegan Meatloaf Recipe?

fawnberrie

Does anyone have a recipe for vegan meatloaf that does not call for tofu?
Thanks Matt. Not exactly simple, haha, but it's vegan and it doesn't have tofu. :)

Answer
Buy some TVP (textured vegetable protein) most large grochery stores carry it. You can also get it at a health food store.

2 cups TVP
1 cup water
1 cup bbq sauce
1 table spoon corn starch
Wheat flour as needed

Mix water and bbq sauce and heat till almost boiling. Add TVP. Let stand for a few minutes. Add corn starch then a little flour until it make a nice ball. Put into a loaf pan and cook the same way you would a true meat loaf.

vegan meatloaf recipe tofu image

sweetdollf

Hello,
I'm vegan and I normally cook only vegan food but I'm getting married soon and my boyfriend eats poultry, fish and drinks milk and I want to make him a full homemade meal just for him but I don't know what to make because I don't cook with those things. I've never cooked for him before so I want it to be really special. He loves chicken, beans, and rice so I need a really good recipe with these. I also want to make him a really good dessert. Something you've made before and everyone loved. Thank you!

Answer
You can use ground chicken or turkey or even crumbled tofu with soy sauce-- and he may never know that there was no meat with tofu-- just use ample BBQ sauce to mix

Shepard's Pie:
-Brown 1 pound beef/ ground turkey
-Add 1-2 cloves of garlic, 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and 3/4 cup ketchup
-Cover and simmer 20 minutes
-Coat casserole dish w/ nonstick cooking spray

1st Layer - meat sauce
2nd Layer - Green beans and corn
3rd Layer - mashed potatoes
Top with cheddar cheese (as much as you want)

350 degrees (preheated oven) for 30 minutes - bake uncovered


Meatloaf
1 1/2 pounds ground meat
1 slice of bread
1 egg
1 package of Lipton's Onion Soup Mix
pepper to taste
4 TBSP ketchup
1/2 cup half and half

*SAUCE*
4 TBSP apple cider vinegar
2 TBSP packed brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup

preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix sauce together until smooth and set aside

Add all ingredients together. Put in a loaf pan. Pour suace over and cook for 1 hour 15 minutes. Do this whether you use the sauce or not

or

Try Zatarain's Dirty Rice or Jambalaya Mix. With the dirty rice mix you have to use ground beef. With the Jambalaya Mix you can use chicken or smoked sausage.( *It taste best with sausage).

My version of ghoulash:

Ground Beef with vegetarain beans(pork and beans without the pork) with chopped onions, picante sauce, and tomato sauce. Serve over white rice.

Pasta Salad with veggies: Tri-colored rotini pasta with chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and green olives. Mix with Robusto Italian Dressing. Add a little seasoned salt and black pepper. Chill in the frig.

Chicken Pettazini:

Spaghetti with chopped, grilled, boneless chicken breast, Four Cheese white sauce or the Roasted Garlic and Parmesan cheese white sauce. You can also add green pepper if you like.

---
Dessert

Chocolate stuffed french toast

French bread
chocolate chips or chunks/morsels/etc
5 eggs
1 C milk
1 ts each cinnamon & vanilla

The night before you want to serve this:


Cut a loaf of French Bread into very thick slices. In each slice make a 3/4" cut to make a pocket. Spoon 2 heaping ts chocolate into the pocket. Close pocket with a pinch of the bread.
Place into greased 9x13" baking dish. Mix up the eggs, milk & cinnamon/vanilla. Cover & refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 400F. Bake 20-25 minutes uncovered.

Vegans: Do you ever crave for foods that you have blocked from your diet?

� LAUR3N

You know, like the usual craving for something that you haven't had in a while, or when you see something really tasty at the store or in an ad and you look at it and it looks really good..?
Examples:
Ice cream, cake, candy, chips, any canned or boxed foods, meat...

*From someone who craves everything.
If so, how do you work your way through the craving?

Answer
Let's see,if I want ice cream,I eat soy or rice ice cream. Candy,I hate,but there's so many kinds of vegan candies. Goto-http://veganessentials.com/ or https://www.veganstore.com/index.html?action=myaccount if you want to order things or just go to your local health food store. READ LABELS EVEN IN A HEALTH FOOD STORE!! Chocolate I eat whenever I want,just the dark chocolate kinds,there's so many types and flavors of vegan chocolates to try. Chips,If I really want it I eat it. Chips are only not vegan if cooked in animal fats or coated in cheese or sour cream. Boxed foods are disgusting,I only like to eat healthy foods.For these,once again check out the websites I gave you or hit your health food stores. Meat,is even more disgusting. If I ever want something with a meaty texture then I just make some seitan.Also,I will sometimes eat tempeh,or tofu. If you really "need" something even more meat like try vegan sausages,burgers or "hot dogs". Cheese,I either use nutritional yeast or soy,nut or rice cheeses.
The only things I may crave are dishes from my childhood. If I feel sad or homesick and I want something homey,I may make something like vegan stuffed peppers or mashed potatoes with really great side dishes.Those are both things my mom would make,only the mashed potatoes dish was usually with chicken. I've learned to make everything my mom would make when I was growing up,but vegan style. Even meatloaf,or spaghetti and "meat" balls.
There's no reason to have an unfulfilled craving as a vegan. I think I have a recipe for everything including vegan marshmallows for S'mores.
Here's some great cookbooks that have a lot of those great "childhood" recipes but veganized. They are all by Sarah Kramer and only some call for vegan substitute foods-"How it all Vegan", In the Garden of Vegan" and "La Dolce Vegan". They're lots of fun. Give them a go. Have fun with your diet and be creative.

Anyone have any great vegetarian/vegan recipes?

vegan meatloaf recipe tofu image

Just right

I am going vegetarian. I am not yet sure what kind of vegetarian. I attempted this before and I lasted two weeks. I am trying again. I am starting out by cutting out red meat, which I rarely eat anyway. Then I will continue by cutting out white meat, and whatever else I decide to live without. Any great recipes for me anyone? :)
Please and thank you

Answer
It's important not to just cut out meat. You have to be thinking about beans, nuts, seeds, soy, eggs/dairy (if not going vegan) and ways to make those.

Try substituting beans for meat in your favourite recipes, eg black beans, partly mashed into a packet of the taco seasoning and water you'd add to ground beef for taco night. Try grating a portobello mushroom into tomato sauce instead of ground beef. I like tofu in stirfries instead of chicken (takes practice to have tofu taste other than bland - experiment!). I like making meatloaf with a can of white beans instead of meat - mash them and use your favourite meatloaf recipe from there...

Many meals can naturally be made vegetarian... load a pizza crust with tomato sauce and tons of veggies before baking, make a frittata for dinner, pasta with tomato sauce and vegetarian parmesan cheese (look for one with bacterial culture, not rennet)...

Lunch and breakfast are easy... most of my friends don't know I'm veg when they see me eating pj or cheese sandwiches for lunch! Many breakfast cereals are higher in protein, eg. kashi/Vector.

Tastespotting.com is a round-up of many food blogs from around the world. They have a search term, eg veggie burger, and frequently feature vegetarian/vegan menu items for when you're looking for something new.

Looking for vegan food options that aren't soy substitutes.?

Alright, due to medical recommendations, I'm removing animal products from my diet. I'm not going the unhealthy meat substitute route where you eat a bunch of gross processed mock-meat foods. I've been eating mostly fruit and veggies (variety of deep leafy greens, etc), making sure to get in B12, taking a vitamin supplement and tofu for protein. What cookbooks and recipes would you recommend for a vegan? Also, any opinions on raw foods?

Answer
Congratulations on your healthy new diet! Don't worry. You will have endless options for wonderful meals without needing to rely on overly-processed foods and fake meats. Often if you wish to make something similar to a burger, hot dog, meatloaf, or meatball - it can be made out of beans, chickpeas, lentils, walnuts, etc.

Also, for B-12, you might want to check out nutritional yeast flakes that you sprinkle on top of your food. It tastes a little like cheese, and you will notice it in numerous recipes for vegans. Red Star is probably the most common brand. You can get it in the bulk food bins at Whole Foods or order it online.

What should I make for dinner and dessert?

vegan meatloaf recipe tofu image

sweetdollf

Hello,
I'm vegan and I normally cook only vegan food but I'm getting married soon and my boyfriend eats poultry, fish and drinks milk and I want to make him a full homemade meal just for him but I don't know what to make because I don't cook with those things. I've never cooked for him before so I want it to be really special. He loves chicken, beans, and rice so I need a really good recipe with these. I also want to make him a really good dessert. Something you've made before and everyone loved. Thank you!

Answer
You can use ground chicken or turkey or even crumbled tofu with soy sauce-- and he may never know that there was no meat with tofu-- just use ample BBQ sauce to mix

Shepard's Pie:
-Brown 1 pound beef/ ground turkey
-Add 1-2 cloves of garlic, 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and 3/4 cup ketchup
-Cover and simmer 20 minutes
-Coat casserole dish w/ nonstick cooking spray

1st Layer - meat sauce
2nd Layer - Green beans and corn
3rd Layer - mashed potatoes
Top with cheddar cheese (as much as you want)

350 degrees (preheated oven) for 30 minutes - bake uncovered


Meatloaf
1 1/2 pounds ground meat
1 slice of bread
1 egg
1 package of Lipton's Onion Soup Mix
pepper to taste
4 TBSP ketchup
1/2 cup half and half

*SAUCE*
4 TBSP apple cider vinegar
2 TBSP packed brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup

preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix sauce together until smooth and set aside

Add all ingredients together. Put in a loaf pan. Pour suace over and cook for 1 hour 15 minutes. Do this whether you use the sauce or not

or

Try Zatarain's Dirty Rice or Jambalaya Mix. With the dirty rice mix you have to use ground beef. With the Jambalaya Mix you can use chicken or smoked sausage.( *It taste best with sausage).

My version of ghoulash:

Ground Beef with vegetarain beans(pork and beans without the pork) with chopped onions, picante sauce, and tomato sauce. Serve over white rice.

Pasta Salad with veggies: Tri-colored rotini pasta with chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and green olives. Mix with Robusto Italian Dressing. Add a little seasoned salt and black pepper. Chill in the frig.

Chicken Pettazini:

Spaghetti with chopped, grilled, boneless chicken breast, Four Cheese white sauce or the Roasted Garlic and Parmesan cheese white sauce. You can also add green pepper if you like.

---
Dessert

Chocolate stuffed french toast

French bread
chocolate chips or chunks/morsels/etc
5 eggs
1 C milk
1 ts each cinnamon & vanilla

The night before you want to serve this:


Cut a loaf of French Bread into very thick slices. In each slice make a 3/4" cut to make a pocket. Spoon 2 heaping ts chocolate into the pocket. Close pocket with a pinch of the bread.
Place into greased 9x13" baking dish. Mix up the eggs, milk & cinnamon/vanilla. Cover & refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 400F. Bake 20-25 minutes uncovered.

Vegans: Do you ever crave for foods that you have blocked from your diet?

� LAUR3N

You know, like the usual craving for something that you haven't had in a while, or when you see something really tasty at the store or in an ad and you look at it and it looks really good..?
Examples:
Ice cream, cake, candy, chips, any canned or boxed foods, meat...

*From someone who craves everything.
If so, how do you work your way through the craving?

Answer
Let's see,if I want ice cream,I eat soy or rice ice cream. Candy,I hate,but there's so many kinds of vegan candies. Goto-http://veganessentials.com/ or https://www.veganstore.com/index.html?action=myaccount if you want to order things or just go to your local health food store. READ LABELS EVEN IN A HEALTH FOOD STORE!! Chocolate I eat whenever I want,just the dark chocolate kinds,there's so many types and flavors of vegan chocolates to try. Chips,If I really want it I eat it. Chips are only not vegan if cooked in animal fats or coated in cheese or sour cream. Boxed foods are disgusting,I only like to eat healthy foods.For these,once again check out the websites I gave you or hit your health food stores. Meat,is even more disgusting. If I ever want something with a meaty texture then I just make some seitan.Also,I will sometimes eat tempeh,or tofu. If you really "need" something even more meat like try vegan sausages,burgers or "hot dogs". Cheese,I either use nutritional yeast or soy,nut or rice cheeses.
The only things I may crave are dishes from my childhood. If I feel sad or homesick and I want something homey,I may make something like vegan stuffed peppers or mashed potatoes with really great side dishes.Those are both things my mom would make,only the mashed potatoes dish was usually with chicken. I've learned to make everything my mom would make when I was growing up,but vegan style. Even meatloaf,or spaghetti and "meat" balls.
There's no reason to have an unfulfilled craving as a vegan. I think I have a recipe for everything including vegan marshmallows for S'mores.
Here's some great cookbooks that have a lot of those great "childhood" recipes but veganized. They are all by Sarah Kramer and only some call for vegan substitute foods-"How it all Vegan", In the Garden of Vegan" and "La Dolce Vegan". They're lots of fun. Give them a go. Have fun with your diet and be creative.
