Vegan Dinner Recipes

1. Ramen with a vegan egg

A steaming bowl of rich, nourishing ramen is one of my favorite options – and this one is so flavourful and packed with delicious veggies and sesame-coated tofu, it’s hard not to love it! And I just know you’ll be amazed and delighted by the vegan egg, you’ll have to give it a go!

3. Eggplant Casserole – Vegan Greek Moussaka

I always come back to my Greek moussaka when I’m craving a homemade and homey lunch or dinner that has a bit of nostalgic memory of childhood. And this eggplant casserole or vegan Greek moussaka is guaranteed to keep me satisfied and happy for long!

4. Vegan Paella

I love how the nori sheets give my vegan paella a subtle fish flavor, while staying vegan, filling and full of great texture thanks to the Oyster mushrooms and olives. Even though this recipe needs a bit of time to cook, the entire process is super easy and the results are satisfying and delicious! Give it a try!

5. Vegan Eggplant Parmesan

Everybody knows about my love for eggplant by now, but this has got to be one of my absolute favorite recipes using them! My take on this Italian classic uses vegan cheese to achieve the ultimate comfort food. Crispy eggplant slices and baked in tons of cheese and tomato sauce – sounds divine, right?

6. Imam Bayildi

I’m sure you’ll fall in love with this flavourful Turkish recipe of baked eggplant halves filled with soy protein granules and veggies. My version of this authentic Middle Eastern recipe is just as delicious and comforting without the industrial amounts of olive oil prompted by the original recipe! 🙂

7. Vegan Beef Bourguignon

This recipe for vegan beef bourguignon is the perfect reason to indulge in a big, comforting, flavorful portion of stew on chilly autumn nights. I’ve managed to achieve the perfect texture for my “meat”, and the entire dish is incredibly close to the original French beef bourguignon and equally delicious. You simply have to try it for yourself!

8. Vegetarian Cacciatore

I simply love classic Italian recipes that can satisfy a big family, and this is one of them! For my version of vegetarian cacciatore I replaced the rabbit meat from the original recipe with textured soy protein slices, and it results in a nourishing dinner – light but filling and full of veggies!

These green chickpea patties with tahini sauce are not only delicious but healthy too! Packed with proteins and amazing flavors, I’m sure these chickpea patties will soon become your favorite too!

Shepherd’s pie doesn’t need meat when vegan alternatives are available! Mushrooms and vegetables, plus all the required spices, will make the filling delicious and “meaty”. Give it a try!

These spicy vegan lentil cakes are perfect for satisfying your spicy food cravings! They’re easy to make, protein-rich and have a spicy and smoky flavor!

Brown rice is better for health as compared to basmati, jasmine or regular old white rice. Onion, garlic, and vegetable broth are adequate for taste purposes. I’m sure you will love this amazing pilaf!
