Vegan Chorizo
January 3, 2022

Vegan Chorizo

This Vegan Chorizo is so delicious and stands up as a strong competitor against store-bought versions that you might find at Trader Joe’s or other grocery stores with whole food sections. All you need is extra-firm tofu and a few simple ingredients. Pair this recipe with vegetable fajitas and rice or make some delicious tacos with this chorizo!

For a soy-free option, we recommend trying Beyond Meat’s ground beef and cooking according to their packaging.

Ingredients

Vegan Chorizo

  • 1 14 oz. package extra-firm tofu, drained & lightly crumbled (no pressing required)
  • 4 tsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbs smoked paprika
  • 2 Tbs soy sauce
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 Tbs ketchup
  • 2 Tbs maple syrup
  • 1 Tbs apple cider vinegar
  • 1-2 Tbs Olive oil for cooking
  • Optional topping: lime juice, chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. In a large bowl using clean hands or a fork, crumble the tofu into medium-sized pieces. The tofu shouldn’t be too fine.
  2. Then, using a rubber spatula, carefully fold in each ingredient (except for the olive oil) one at a time.
  3. Once the tofu is fully combined, heat a skillet on high heat and add the olive oil.
  4. When the pan is hot, set heat to medium-high and add the tofu into one thin layer. If your skillet is large enough, you can do this in one batch, otherwise split the tofu in half and cook in two batches.
  5. Cook the tofu in the skillet for 4 minutes, no stirring required.
  6. After 4 minutes, flip the tofu and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until evenly browned.
  7. Repeat with remaining tofu if needed.
  8. Remove from the heat and serve.

This vegan chorizo can be stored and reheated to make some delicious breakfast tacos or be served for lunch the next day. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  3. Cook the vegetables for about 7-10 minutes, adding a splash of vegetable broth to prevent sticking.

  11. Serve fresh and enjoy with a side of toast or crackers if desired. Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Cauliflower Stuffing
December 1, 2021

Cauliflower Stuffing

Cauliflower Stuffing is low carb, gluten-free and full of flavor like a traditional stuffing. Save this recipe for a future Thanksgiving or other holiday meal!

This side dish is great if you’re looking for fewer carbs this holiday season or have gluten-sensitive family members.

The nutritious compounds in cauliflower support detoxification and decrease inflammation in the body. This plant supports healthy digestion, can aid in reducing cancer risk, and help support nerve health!

Ingredients

Cauliflower Stuffing

  • 1-2 heads of cauliflower, finely chopped, stems removed
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup vegan Butter
  • 1 & 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Italian parsley, chopped
  • 1 Tbs Fresh Rosemary, Thyme & Sage, minced
  • 2 tsp ground Black Pepper
  • Additional salt to taste
  • 1-2 cups Vegetable Broth

Directions

  1. To begin, prepare all of your vegetables and herbs.
  2. In a large skillet, on medium heat add the vegan butter. Once hot enough, begin by sautéing the onion and celery until they become translucent and tender. Add salt and pepper. About 7-8 minutes.
  3. Next, add the cauliflower to the skillet. Continue to cook and stir for another 10 minutes. 
  4. Then, add the remaining herbs and seasoning, and vegetable broth. Begin with 1 cup of broth (if 1 head of cauliflower is used). The broth should be completely absorbed.
  5. If desired, store in the oven at a low temperature to keep warm, or in the broiler for extra heat. But once the vegetables have cooked thoroughly and the broth has been absorbed, the stuffing is ready to go! 
  6. Whether you are serving this dish on the side of a Turkey or it’s being stuffed into a Tofurky loaf, it’s sure to be a popular hit at the table.
