Tofu Egg Salad
January 28, 2022

Tofu Egg Salad

Tofu Egg Salad is deceptively delicious if you’re looking for a lean protein that is relatively low in calories and fat. Serve as a sandwich or wrap with lettuce and tomato and impress your tofu-skeptical friends with this easy to prepare dish.

Ingredients

Serves: 5

Tofu Egg Salad

  • One 14 oz. block of extra firm tofu, pressed
  • 2 medium dill kosher pickles, finely minced
  • 5 celery stalks, finely minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 Tbs pickle juice from the jar
  • 5 scallions, chopped
  • 1/3 cup vegan mayo
  • 2 Tbs dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. To ensure the tofu is sufficiently dry, cut the block in half, along its width, and then cut into 8 equal sections.
  2. Wrap four sections in a paper towel, layer on top the other four sections, and cover with a paper towel. Place on a plate and weigh it down to be pressed by using a cast-iron skillet or a cookie sheet weighted with a cookbook or pot. Press for 20-25 minutes at least.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare your remaining ingredients.
  4. Remove excess liquid from the tofu and lightly crumble by hand into a large mixing bowl.
  5. Combine with celery, pickles, pickle juice, seasonings, vegan mayo, and dijon mustard.
  6. Fold together carefully with a rubber spatula.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  8. Serve the tofu egg salad as a sandwich or wrap with lettuce and tomato or enjoy as a high-protein snack with rice crackers.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes
November 5, 2021

Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Mashed Sweet Potatoes are an excellent side dish for the holiday season. We served this alongside some braised red cabbage and broiled tofu, but this would also pair lovingly with some collards or roasted turkey. While this recipe is vegan, you can easily make it non-vegan by substituting for dairy butter.

Ingredients

Serves: 6 Time: 1 Hour

Mashed Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 lbs sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 tsp chinese five spice
  • 2 Tbs maple syrup or agave (optional)
  • 1 Tbs vegan butter or light vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF
  2. Place the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack, no poking of holes needed.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 45-75 minutes (depending on the size, large-giant sized potatoes can take up the latter half of the time but the average potato should only take 45)
  4. Check to see if your sweet potato is done by poking through to its center. If this is easy to do, the potatoes are done.
  5. Remove potatoes from the oven and cut them lengthwise to speed up the cooling.
  6. When warm but not too hot, scoop out the sweet potato with a spoon and place it in a large stovetop pot. Discard the skins.
  7. Set the pot to low heat and melt your vegan butter or heat your vegetable oil. Add in the spices and sweet potato. Mash together well. You can use an immersion blender for a faster mash or a potato masher.
  8. **For a creamier sweet potato mash you can add a 1/4 cup of light coconut milk or extra creamy, unsweetened oat milk.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  10. Serve and enjoy!

Braised Red Cabbage
October 22, 2021

Braised Red Cabbage

Braised Red Cabbage makes for an excellent side dish any time of the year. We paired our cabbage with roasted potatoes, tempeh, and vegetables, but you can add this cabbage to grains and other nutritious vegetables and proteins.

Ingredients

Braised Red Cabbage

  • 1 red cabbage, chopped
  • 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 Tbs olive oil
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 Tbs apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp old bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried sage
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. Begin by preparing your vegetables.
  2. In a large sauté pan, heat the oil on high.
  3. Once hot, add the onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
  4. Then, add the cabbage and remaining ingredients. Stir together well on high for 5 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan with a lid and allow it to simmer for about 40 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  6. Once done, remove from heat and take out the bay leaves. Serve alongside your meal and enjoy!
