Vegan food

The title might be redundant but it is what it is ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Post the food you cook, or the recipes you love.

In the spirit of the chill vibes CPO ethos, some simple rules:

  1. You don't need to be vegan to participate but if you go to the trouble of bringing it up, I'm not going to delete critical/mean comments.

  2. No low effort content. OC such as memes are welcome, link spam is not. If you are linking a recipe at least let us know why you are sharing it. Do you like it? Is it something you've been meaning to try? Give us something!

  3. Low effort content will be flagged in the comments. I get it, not everyone reads the side bar. If it becomes a pattern from a user I'll just start deleting them ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

  4. You can cross your own posts from other coms but cross posts from other comms without discussion (or cross posts that are stirring up shit) will be deleted.

  5. I can't believe I have to write this - if you comment about eating corpses or other bodily fluids, I'm deleting it.

It's chilli: pinto beans, tvp, mixed veg, tomato sauce, jalapeno, and seasoning. I think the seasonings were salt, celery seeds, veg bullion, chilli powder, cayenne, and cinnamon. I made it in an electric pressure cooker.

I dehydrated it for about 24 hours before I broke it up and stored it in an air tight container.

I really like adding a little bit of cocoa powder to mine!

In the past I've used baking chocolate chips but those probably have milk, this time I got baking cocoa powder so I can't just eat all of it when I'm hungry and want a snakc

It might help to mix with a little water before adding though so it doesn't get too clumpy, idk.

Where do you get tvp? I kinda wanna try it some time as I'm learning about ways to reduce my animal product intake but I haven't really found it available anywhere. Lentils feel like they might also be good in this application, cooked a bit firmer than the beans (but then you'd have to time things carefully)

Definitely make a paste out of your cocoa powder before adding it to chili! (it's my favorite chili hack too!)

TVP used to be found in those crunchy hippy health stores, in bulk. Nowadays you might have better luck getting it on Amazon. It's just freeze dried tofu, you can get a similar effect just freezing it (for texture) then dehydrating it. Or use it right after thawing if you don't need to store it!
