Vegetarian Ramen Bowl with Spicy Brussels Sprouts
Prep time 10 mins Cook time 35 mins Total time 45 mins Serves: 2

½ pound Brussels sprouts
2 to 3 teaspoons sambal oelek (see note)
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup diced red onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 tablespoons yellow miso
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups water
4 ounces ramen noodles (not instant)
2 eggs
Scallions, for topping
Sesame seeds, for topping

Preheat oven to 400˚ F. Quarter Brussels Sprouts and toss with sambal oelek. Roast until the Brussels sprouts are tender and browning, 20 to 25 minutes.
In a stock pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, just to soften. Stir in the garlic, ginger, miso, and soy sauce. Add in the water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Pass through a sieve, discarding the onion mixture. Return ginger broth to the pan and add in the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and add the noodles. Cook until the noodles are tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small pan, add water, enough so you know will cover the eggs. Add the eggs and cook for 7 minutes then remove the eggs and transfer to an ice bath.
Assemble the ramen by dividing the noodles into 2 bowls and adding half the Brussels sprouts to each bowl. Add in the eggs and top with diced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

Variations for the Vegetarian Ramen
Given I don’t do a lot of tofu and mushrooms, this version of vegetarian ramen is about as close as I get to a comforting bowl of ramen. Of course, these roasted Brussels sprouts are delicious on their own!

Tofu: This ramen is missing a pretty key ingredient in traditional vegetarian ramen. Try frying the tofu before getting ready to serve if you want the addition.

Ramen: This is where you really need to pay attention. This recipe is not for those instant noodles. Make sure you’re buying fresh noodles or dried ramen noodles (like these).

Sambal Oelek: If you can’t find sambal oelek, I recommend using Sriracha.

Vegan Chicken Pot Pie
15 min Prep Time 45 min Cook Time 1 hr Total Time Serves 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
10 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, stemmed, cleaned and sliced
1 medium onion, diced
2 cups diced carrots (about 3 medium carrots)
1 1/2 cups diced celery (about 2 stalks)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (8 ounce) package seitan, finely diced
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (all-purpose works too)
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup unsweetened soy or almond milk
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes (use more if you'd like)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
salt and pepper to taste
1 vegan pie crust of choice (you can use store bought pie crust, or vegan puff pastry)

Instructions

*Coat the bottom of a large pot with 1 tablespoon of oil and place over medium heat. Add mushrooms in an even layer and cook for about 5 minutes, until browned on bottoms. Flip and cook 5 minutes more. Remove from the pot and transfer to a plate.
*Add remaining oil to the pot, along with onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally with a spatula, just until the veggies begin to soften and onions become translucent. Return mushrooms to the pot and add seitan, along with any juice in the package.
*Add wine, rosemary and thyme to the pot and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook for about 10 minutes, until most of the liquid has cooked off.
*Add flour, a bit at a time, stirring frequently to form a thick paste that coats the veggies. Add broth, milk, nutritional yeast, soy sauce and liquid smoke. Raise heat and bring to a simmer. Lower heat and allow to cook at a low simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender. Stir in peas. Taste test and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust any other seasonings as desired.
*Preheat oven to 375°. Gather a 9 x 9-inch casserole dish. Use a rolling pin to roll pie crust or puff pastry so that it's large enough to fully cover the top of the dish. (This may not be necessary if using premade puff pastry.)
*Transfer the vegetable stew into the dish, then drape crust overtop, trimming any low hanging edges. Cut a few slits in the dough.
*Bake until crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 30-35 minutes if using a puff pastry crust, 40-45 minutes for pie crust or olive oil crust.
*Remove from oven and allow to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

Beyond Sausage Stuffing Stuffed Mushrooms
Serves 4-6 Prep Time 15 min Cook Time 40 min

Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil, divided.
1 Shallot, thinly sliced
1 Carrot, diced
1 Stalk celery, diced
12-16 medium/large cremini mushrooms
½ tsp salt, divided
2 Beyond Hot Italian Sausage
½ tsp thyme
1 tsp rosemary
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, minced
2.5 cups stale french or sourdough bread torn into ½ inch pieces
¼ cup dried cranberries
1 cup broth
Parsley to garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare your vegetables by slicing the shallots, dicing the carrots and celery, and mincing the garlic. To prepare the mushrooms, remove the stems and dice them into ¼ inch pieces. Set the mushroom caps aside. Prepare the bread by slicing or tearing it into ½ inch pieces. If you do not have stale bread, toast the bread pieces in the oven for 5 minutes until the bread is crusty but has not browned.

2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the mushrooms on the parchment paper and drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with ¼ tsp salt and cracked pepper.

3. To prepare the filling, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, carrots, celery, mushroom stems, and ¼ tsp salt. Let cook for 5-6 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the 2 beyond sausages, thyme, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. Use a wooden spoon to break up the sausage into crumbles. Let cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until the herbs are fragrant and the sausage begins to brown. Lastly, turn the heat to low and add the bread, dried cranberries, and broth and stir for 2-3 minutes until the bread has absorbed all the liquid. The filling is fully cooked at this point so taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

4. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling into each mushroom cap. The stuffing should fill the mushroom and create a generous mound overtop. Don’t be afraid to really smash it in there! Cook for 20-25 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked through and the filling is golden brown. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Vegan Glutenfree Grain-free Pizza Crust
Prep Time15 mins Cook Time25 mins Total Time40 mins Servings: 12

Ingredients

1 cup (115 g) almond flour
½ cup (60 g) tapioca starch
1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon oregano

Wet ingredients:

3 tablespoons nondairy yogurt or you can also use coconut cream, or cashew cream or thick oatmilk
1 tablespoon oil
½ cup (125 g) nondairy milk such as almond milk light coconut or oat milk

Instructions

In a bowl mix all dry ingredients really well
Press and mix to break all the almond flour lumps. Then add in the non-dairy yogurt, oil then 1/3 cup non-dairy milk and mix well. The batter will be pretty thick.
Add in the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time to make into pancake like batter. You don’t want the batter to be too thin otherwise it will make a really thin crust pizza
Line a baking sheet with parchment then spoon half of this batter onto the baking sheet then spread using large spoon to make a round or oval.
Once the batter is spread, even it out. if it’s too thick in the middle , you can spread the batter from middle outwards to keep the center thin.
Then cover it with another parchment paper lightly, it might stick in some places which is fine.
Then put the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425F (220c). (if you’re using a thin metal baking sheet, line the baking sheet with 2 parchment sheets. Almond flour can brown really easily so you don’t want it to get sudden heat from a thin metal baking sheet)
Bake for 12-14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the crust and your baking sheet.
Remove this crust from the oven then top it with topping of choice, sauces, veggies, cheese etc toppings of choice.
Add toppings to this crust which will require less than 15 minutes of bake time in the oven. Because the crust will start to brown too much after 15 mins
After adding the toppings and cheese and whatever you like, put it back in the oven at 400F (205 c) for 8-12 minutes, depending on the toppings.
Then start the broiler for the cheese to melt for 2-4 minutes, depends on the cheese and thickness of toppings.
Then remove from oven, let it sit for a few minutes then slice and serve!
Store in the fridge for upto 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave

Mushroom Bourguignon
Total: 1 hr 15 min Active: 40 min Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, oyster and shiitake), trimmed, quartered and/or thickly sliced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium carrots, cut on the bias into 1-inch pieces (about 8 ounces)
3 small parsnips, cut on the bias into 1-inch pieces (about 8 ounces)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (about 6 sprigs)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry red wine (such as Pinot Noir)
2 cups vegetable or mushroom broth
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Wide egg noodles, for serving
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is very hot and shimmering, add half the mushrooms in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until the undersides are well browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir the mushrooms and continue to cook until just tender, about 3 minutes more. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and remaining mushrooms. Repeat the same method of browning the mushrooms and remove to the same plate.
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the same pot, then add the carrots, parsnip and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the parsnips start to brown in spots, about 6 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Cook until the garlic is tender and the tomato paste turns brick red, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the wine, then simmer until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
Return the mushrooms to the pot and stir in the broth, bay leaves, a good pinch of salt and a couple grinds of black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer uncovered until the mushrooms are very tender and the sauce has reduced slightly, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together the flour and remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small bowl until a thick paste forms. Stir the flour mixture into the sauce until completely absorbed, then continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened to a gravy-like consistency, about 10 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper. Serve over wide egg noodles with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Catalan Chickpeas and Spinach
Total Time: 15 mins Prep Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

1 (5-ounce) bag fresh baby spinach
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1 small white onion, peeled and thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus extra for serving
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained*
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Place the spinach in a colander and rinse with water. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add in the garlic, paprika, cumin and stir to combine. Cook for 1 more minute, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to medium. Add the still-wet spinach to the pan, cover with a lid, and wait for 1-2 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Stir in the chickpeas and raisins until combined. Then continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, until the chickpeas are heated through.
Taste and season generously with salt (I used about 1 teaspoon) and black pepper, to taste.
Serve warm, garnished with toasted pine nuts, an extra drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of paprika. Or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

*If you would like the chickpeas to be extra soft and juicy (like they are in Spain), just boil them in water for 10-20 minutes before adding them to the recipe. It’s a simple step that will make a big difference!

Possible Variations:

Add sausage or bacon: We always make this dish plant-based, since my husband doesn’t eat meat. But I’ve tried the traditional sausage or bacon varieties of chickpeas and spinach before when we’ve been out with friends and they are delicious. Just sauté some sausage or bacon before starting the recipe, remove the cooked meat from the pan with a slotted spoon, and use the leftover grease to sauté the onions and garlic. Then stir the sausage/bacon back in just before serving.
Add tomatoes: Many restaurants make this dish wish fresh (or canned) tomatoes added to the mixture, which is also delicious.
Add white wine: A generous splash into the mixture as it simmers is always a win.
Add some heat: Ok, this is definitely not traditional (Catalan cuisine is never spicy!), but I like to add in a generous pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to give this dish a little kick. If you like a little heat in your food, I highly recommend it.
Use different nuts: If you don’t have pine nuts available, toasted almonds or hazelnuts would also be delicious.

Vegan California Roll with Avocado Wasabi
Serves: 2

Ingredients

Vegan California Roll Ingredients:
1/2 cup short-grain rice
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 can (14-oz. each) hearts of palm, drained
1 Tbsp. vegan mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. low-sodium Old Bay® seasoning
3 1/4 sheets nori
3/4 ripe, Avocado, seeded, peeled and sliced
1/2 cucumber, sliced into thin matchsticks
1/2 tsp. water, divided
1/2 cup Avocado Wasabi Sauce (see make-ahead recipe below)

Avocado Wasabi Sauce:
1/2 ripe, Avocado, seeded and peeled
1/4 cup water, plus more as needed
1/2 tsp. wasabi powder, to taste
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. salt, to taste
1/8 tsp. pepper, to taste

Instructions

Cook rice according to package directions. When done, add rice vinegar. Stir and set aside.
To make the “crab” mix, use a knife to slice the hearts of palm into small, thin pieces, similar in texture to lump crab meat, then add to a medium bowl. Stir in mayonnaise and Old Bay seasoning. Crumble ¼ sheet nori into the bowl and stir once more.
Place a sheet of nori onto a sushi mat or parchment paper. Spread out rice into an even layer. In a horizontal line towards one end of the nori sheet, place a few spoonfuls of “crab” mix, sliced cucumbers and sliced avocado.
Roll the sushi tightly, adding a bit of water with your finger at the end to help the nori stick to itself and close the roll. Slice into 8-10 pieces.
Drizzle with avocado wasabi sauce and serve.

Avocado Wasabi Sauce Instructions:

In a blender, add all ingredients and blend.
Add more water as needed to blend to desired consistency.
Set aside.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
