  • 5 easy recipe ideas for World Vegan Day

    Staff Writer - 3.5 min read

    01 November 2019


    November 1 is World Vegan Day. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, a carnivore, or something in between, now is a great time to try out these simple animal-free recipes.

    5 easy recipe ideas for World Vegan Day

    More Australians than ever are eating fewer animal products. And with an ever-expanding digital catalogue of free recipes, there’s never been an easier time to eat meat-free. This is great news, given that studies have shown that reducing personal consumption of meat and dairy is the most effective way to lower your environmental impact.

    If you’re thinking about adding a few meat-and-dairy-free recipes to your repertoire, we’ve consolidated five of our favourites – covering the modern and classic from around the world.

    Eggplant and chickpea bites

    Eggplant and chickpeas are a winning combination. But add panko breadcrumbs to the mix and it just might be love. This Woolworths recipe is a perfect vegan hors d’oeuvre, snack, or even light meal. Eggplant and chickpea patties are shallow-fried into golden bite-sized discs of perfection, served with a zesty coconut yoghurt tzatziki and the cheeky addition of chilli flakes.

    Cauliflower dhal

    There are kitchen heroes, and then there are kitchen superheroes. In our opinion, cauliflower is the latter. From the outset, this brassica (a family that also includes broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and turnips) might seem a little basic. But with some simple cooking techniques, you’ll find cauliflower is as versatile as they come. It’s also packed full of nutrients and fibre and is low in carbohydrates. This Jamie Oliver cauliflower dhal is “proper comfort food”, the recipe declares, and full of aromatic flavours like mustard seeds and coconut milk.

    Make your #OneChange

    If you’re a meat eater, try going meat-free one day a week. It’s good for your wallet, and great for the environment.

    Tabbouleh

    Vegan cooking has the power to surprise with inventive, modern dishes – but sometimes it’s the classics that prompt the widest smiles. Take, for instance, tabbouleh – a Lebanese salad that dates back to Middle Ages Levant (a historical region that covered the Eastern Mediterranean) and has endured through the centuries as a fresh and zesty dish. Try Bon Appétit’s version, with finely ground bulgur, tomatoes, lemon juice, spring onion, olive oil, and – of course – lots of parsley.

    Vegan ramen

    There are a few dishes that are particularly tough to find vegan substitutions for, and ramen is definitely on that list. Authentic Japanese renditions are almost always made with animal products, often hidden in plain sight (tonkotsu ramen, for instance, consists of a broth made from dissolved pork bones). Luckily, BBC Good Food has come to the rescue with this simple vegan ramen recipe. It’s packed full of flavour, calling on ingredients like sliced ginger, shiitake mushrooms, and white miso paste to do the heavy lifting.

    Tofu and summer vegetable curry

    Coconut milk, Japanese eggplant, zucchini, and tofu play starring roles in this well-rounded curry from Epicurious. The creamy, nourishing recipe will leave even your most carnivorous guests asking for more. Serve it with warm rice and sprinklings of coriander and coarsely chopped roasted peanuts.
