• A pinch of salt
• 3 tablespoons ice-cold water

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt.

Add the cold, cubed vegan margarine or coconut oil to the flour. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to combine the fat and flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and sauté until they become translucent.

Our Vegan Broccoli and Quinoa Cake is a perfect and delicious healthy vegan recipe that’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. We prepared with nutrient-rich quinoa and fresh broccoli, giving it a source of plant-based protein and fiber. It is perfect for anyone following a gluten-free vegan diet or looking to boost their plant-based protein intake, these cakes are not only tasty but also incredibly versatile. If you are looking for healthy vegan snack, or preparing a satisfying vegan dinner, these broccoli quinoa cakes will be a hit with everyone.

Ingredients:

• 1 Scallion
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1 Garlic cloves
• Salt
• 5 cups broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup Quinoa
• 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
• 2 tbsp Oil

Instructions;

1. Use a fine-mesh strainer to drain the grain with water. Empty. In a small saucepan, bring a single cup of water and millet to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and allow to simmer for ten to twelve minutes till the quinoa is firm, and its water is completely absorbing.
2. Switch off the heater and cover it for a few minutes at most.
3. Steam asparagus: Don’t overcook rice broccoli; instead, steam it till it’s soft while the rice or quinoa is baking. Thoroughly drain, allow to cool, and then towel thoroughly.
   In the bowl of a food processor, mix broccoli, a few herbs, cooked quinoa, the yolk, salt, cloves, and mozzarella; process before mending. Add the ground almonds and pulse to fully incorporate.
4. The mix should form a mound on a spoon and be just enough tacky to form patties with ease. Add a tablespoon of almond extract at a time to the mixture if it appears too wet before it is controllable. Using wet hands, press four large hamburgers into one another.
5. Although it shouldn’t be necessary, feel free to dust those with wheat or breadcrumbs, especially if they seem extremely moist.
6. Fire the oil in a pot on a normal heat. Arrange the hamburgers on the skillet around them, then decrease the fire to normal. Try not to move or tinker with them.
7. Flipping has become much simpler, as they will automatically remove their bodies from the pan when they develop a rich gold crust without a stick. Here, use a thin metal spatula. Rubber knives are more difficult to reach beneath delicate objects because of their larger edges.
8. After a minute or so, flip when golden and release.  Reduce the temperature further if necessary, and pan-sear on the other half while the egg has heated through and is slightly puff in the center.
9. If those are becoming too brown as they cook using the burner, you can also bake them for the remaining time at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Here is is a Vegan Raspberry Ice Cream which is a perfect option for a dairy-free ice cream. We made it with fresh raspberries and coconut milk for the perfect texture. This healthy vegan ice cream is ideal for anyone looking for a low-calorie vegan dessert or a gluten-free vegan treat makes it perfect for those on a plant-based diet or those seeking a refined sugar-free dessert. Whether you’re cooling off on a hot day or looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, this vegan raspberry ice cream will deliver all the indulgence you crave, guilt-free!

Ingredients:

1 cup aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas)

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed if frozen)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 can (14 ounces) full-fat coconut milk (chilled in the refrigerator overnight)

Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Start by preparing your aquafaba. Drain a can of chickpeas, and reserve the liquid (aquafaba) in a bowl. You can store the chickpeas for other recipes.

In a blender or food processor, blend the raspberries until smooth. If you prefer a seedless ice cream, you can strain the raspberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds.

In a mixing bowl, combine the raspberry puree, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

In a separate large mixing bowl, add the chilled coconut milk. Whip the coconut milk using an electric mixer until it becomes fluffy and creamy.

Gently fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped coconut milk until well combined.

In another clean mixing bowl, whisk the aquafaba and a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until it forms stiff peaks. This might take a few minutes.

Carefully fold the whipped aquafaba into the raspberry-coconut mixture. Be gentle to retain the airiness of the aquafaba.

Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover it with a lid, and place it in the freezer.

Let the ice cream freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until it reaches the desired consistency. You can also stir the ice cream every hour during the freezing process to prevent ice crystals from forming.

Once the ice cream is frozen, scoop it into bowls or cones, and enjoy your creamy and fruity vegan raspberry ice cream!

1/2 small onion, diced

4 Bella mushrooms, cubed

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tbsp tomato paste

1/2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

1/2 tsp fennel seeds

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp dry basil

1/2 tsp cumin

1 thawed vegan puff pastry sheet

Method:

In a sauce pan add lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a low boil and allow to cook until soft and all liquid has been absorbed by the lentils (or drain remaining liquid if necessary).

While lentils are cooking, mix flax and water together and set aside. To a separate pan add in onion, celery and mushrooms with a sprinkle of salt. Allow to cook down and soften.

To the pan add the garlic and allow to become fragrant while sautéing. Add in tomato paste and sauté for about 2-3 minutes.

Then add in soy sauce, lentils, seasonings, nutritional yeast and flax egg. Remove from heat and stir well to combine. Allow lentils to sit and cool for 10 minutes while preparing the puff pastry.

Preheat oven to 400F.

Make sure pastry is completely thawed. Spread out on a floured surface and lightly roll it a little flatter. Take lentil mixture and place in the middle of the pastry.

You don’t need to do anything super fancy with the dough. Wrap the sides of the dough around the lentils.

For the ends, cut off excess pastry leaving about an inch enough to fold up to make a little log. To seal just brush with a little plant based milk or water.

Once sealed, place the lentil loaf on a lined baking sheet. Brush the surface with a little more plant based milk or oil and cut at least 4-6 venting slits into the pastry.

Place pastry in oven on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 10 mins before cutting and serving.
