These vegan calamari are made of king oyster mushrooms with seasoning that makes them taste like fried calamari!

Author: The Edgy Veg

Recipe type: Appetizer

Cuisine: Vegan

Serves: 2

Ingredients

10 king oyster mushrooms, sliced into ¼-inch slices
1 tbsp olive oil
1 piece of kombu, optional
¼ tsp salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
½ tsp old bay seasoning
½ cup unsweetened soy milk
1½ tsp vinegar
vegetable oil, for frying
2 lemon wedges, as garnish
dip sauce of choice

Instructions

Start by boiling water in a kettle or in a small saucepan. Then, use a ½-inch round metal straw, cookie cutter or a cake piping tip to make holes in the center of each mushroom, to create calamari-looking rings.
Place the calamari mushroom rings to a small saucepan and cover the mushrooms in water and bring the water to a boil.
Once boiling add 1 tbsp olive oil, ¼ tsp salt, and kombu.
Add mushrooms and boil for 15 minutes, or until they are dark in colour and most of the water has dissolved. Remove from heat and let them cool.
While calamari is boiling, combine the flour, cornstarch, and old bay seasoning together in a bowl. Pour half of the mixture into a second bowl.
In a third bowl whisk together soy milk together with the vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes to create soy buttermilk.
If using a deep fryer: heat frying oil to 350F.
If using a deep pan: pour enough oil to measure 3 inches inside the pan and heat the oil over medium-high heat to 350F.
When the oil is hot, dredge the mushrooms in the flour mixture and shake off any excess as you place them into the bowl with the soy buttermilk.
Transfer them then to the second bowl of seasoned flour coating them, completely and place on a wire cooling rack.
In batches, fry the calamari for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on both sides, allowing the oil to return to 325F between batches.
Transfer fried calamari to a wire cooking inside a baking sheet, to allow excess oil to drip.
Serve with caper aioli, garlic aioli, or tartar sauce.

The Edgy Veg — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 13:00:31 +0000

I’m going to show you how to make my easy tofu tuna recipe! This vegan “tuna” takes only 2 mins to mix together & recommend placing it in the fridge for 30 mins to marinate for a better authentic tuna taste (which non-vegans won’t even know the difference!)

All you have to do is grate tofu into flakey tuna chunks, and mix together 5 tasty ingredients that will turn your tofu into “tuna”.

How To Make Tofu Tuna

Most vegan tuna recipes use chickpeas, but I discovered that shredded tofu is one of the best substitutes to get a vegan tuna lookalike! Plus I always have tofu in my fridge.

Like most “tuna”, the flavour is best when it sits in the fridge for a few hours, or minimum of 30 mins, for flavours to absorb, but it is also delicious when enjoyed right away. Tofu gives this recipe the best tuna texture and appearance and the chosen seasonings make it taste so much like the real thing!

37+ Full Course Vegan Christmas Recipes Ideas for 2022

EdgyVeg — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 20:02:47 +0000

Full Course Vegan Christmas Dinner Party

What are you looking forward to the most during the Holidays? I love getting together with my family and friends, playing fun games, and eating an endless amount of good food. As a vegan recipe creator, my mission is to create a safe place with the BEST dinner parties and get-togethers without ever feeling excluded for being YOU! There is so much life to celebrate and food is an essential part of connecting with your loved ones who you haven’t seen for a long-time.

I have compiled a list of stress-free easy holiday recipe ideas that you and your guests will love!

Appetizers

1. Vegan Sausage Rolls

Appetizers should be simple, and savory to kick-start your appetite. Hence it’s name. This bite-size sausage-wrapped pastry is the perfect starter to welcome your guests. Depending on the size of your party, you can make these a day in advance and heat them up in the oven before serving.

The “sausage” in this vegan sausage roll is made from a combination of seitan meat and raw nuts, giving it a fantastic meaty and cheesy taste and texture. Then wrapped in a soft puffed pastry adding even more dimension to the texture and overall mouth-feel.

2. Vegan Spanakopita

I absolutely love spanakopita! They are so easy to make and so addicting! From the crispy textures of the phyllo sheets to the creamy, warm, and cheesy stuffing, life is so much better with finger-licking good appetizers. Using vegan substitutes, you don’t have to feel left out at your big fat Greek Holiday party! Inspired by Mama Voula’s vegan recipes, your guests are guaranteed to ask for more.

3. Spicy Vegan Artichoke Dip

Artichoke dip is always the life of the party. Traditionally, this party-favourite is ooey-gooey-cheesy rich, served with flatbread or veggies. This artichoke dip has a sinful, decadent flavor and texture followed by a spicy kick. It is a great base for any other vegan dip creation that’s been lingering in your brain! Try it with spinach, for a more traditional spinach-artichoke dip, or throw some vegan cheese in the mix and bake it for a hot variety.

4. Budget-Friendly Vegan Meatball Glaze Recipe

Meatballs are classic appetizer dishes that you can serve as samplers. There are endless combinations you can pair with these delicious meatballs. The balance of the sweet and juicy meaty texture of this recipe is almost shocking when you share it with your non-vegan friends!

5. Vegan Ricotta Toast (Broccoli & Garlic)

This vegan ricotta toast is the bread and butter of a great holiday dinner. This simple and delicious starter is super easy to make and great for anyone who needs a dairy-free option due to dietary restrictions.

Main

6. Smoked Cauliflower Recipe

Who said you can’t BBQ in the winter? This is a great recipe for any dinner party and makes a great plant-based “roast” option for the veggies in your family. Plus, since it’s made on a barbecue, so you can walk away while it cooks and focus on preparing other things inside the kitchen. This recipe is unique, and well-balanced. It’s the perfect centerpiece and conversation starter, and pairs perfectly well with other dishes like mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. However, if you don’t have access to a barbeque, you can also make this in the oven.

7. Vegan Glazed Ham Roast

When you thought your holiday couldn’t get any better, I created the ultimate vegan glazed ham roast so you definitely don’t have to miss out. This sweet, smokey, clove-pinned, pineapple-glazed ham is divine. It’s made from pork-flavored seitan, covered in a sweet sticky glaze, and roasted to perfection using my Napoleon BBQ – You can also do this in the oven!

8. Vegan Beef Wellington

This vegan beef wellington recipe uses 15 ingredients and is super easy to make for any holiday or dinner party. I will show you how to make this easy vegan wellington using an easy meaty filling & puff pastry. The trick is to roll all the meat into a burrito! The bigger the better!

9. Easy Vegan Roast

This is a secret recipe for making the easiest vegan roast. There is no shame in cooking smart because this $5.00 store-bought vegan roast (like Tofurkey) is all you need to save time and make any meal taste great! However, if you do have some extra time, you can also check out my homemade vegan holiday roast recipe if you want to make vegan roast made from scratch!

10. Vegan Tourtiere Recipe

Tourtière is a Canadian meal from Quebec, traditionally eaten on Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve. This meat pie is filled with minced vegan meat and potatoes baked in a pie crust for that crispy and savory texture we all love in a “meat” pie. This dish will definitely get you in the mood for the Holidays.

11. Lazy Vegan Butternut Squash Lasagna Recipe

You can make this awesome butternut squash in under an hour with minimal effort. All you need is a blender, a pot, and your favorite baking pan to make this delicious dish, especially during Christmas preparations! The sweet, creaminess of this dish is guaranteed to be one of your favorite vegan dishes of all time.

12. Vegan Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

Meaty, hearty, and easy vegan Shepherd’s Pie; made with saucy mushrooms and ground round stew, filled with corn, peas and carrots, and topped with fluffy mashed potato. Who on earth doesn’t love Shepherd’s pie? This recipe rivals even the meatiest Shepherd’s pie dishes out there. It’s a classic comfort food that everyone will remember all year round.

Sauces

13. Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce is like the black sheep of the family, often overlooked and not given enough credit. Step away from the canned cranberry sauce. There is no glory in using a can-opener as a prepping tool. Making cranberry sauce from scratch is insanely easy. This basic all-natural homemade cranberry sauce is the perfect topping for Christmas dinner. Just a few quick and simple ingredients.

14. Mushroom Gravy

Gravy has its place all year round, but it really shines during the holidays. Gravy is also a great way to mask any cooking flops, so if something doesn’t turn out quite right, it’s all gravy baby! I put that stuff on everything.

15. Hot Honey Recipe

Drizzle on that kick of sweet and spicy you love on your favorite dishes! Honey is one of the controversial topics in veganism. This is because honey is made by bees and bees eat it to survive the winter season, and eating honey will eliminate the food supplies for the bees. As a result, we coined the term “beegans” for vegans who still eat honey in their diets as an exception. However, if you would like to eliminate honey in your diet and are curious about the “no-bee alternative”, this recipe is a great way to start. Don’t forget to try this on pizza, vegan fried chicken, or even as salad dressings.

Sides

16. Vegan Cheesy Cornbread

Cornbread has been a family tradition for some time. We love a dense, cheesy cornbread that you can dip in any of the saucy meat dishes from your main. Was it really a Christmas party without side dishes to munch on?

17. Vegan Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots

Using my Viral Rice Paper Bacon recipe, we can make the perfect snacks for any occasion, especially during Christmas, this is a great finger food to snack on in between your meals and a great conversational starter with your new and old family members.

18. Vegan Cobb Salad

Gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free! This cobb salad is the ultimate dish for that family member or friend who is allergic to almost everything. Luckily, most vegan dishes offer a great variety of dishes that is suitable for most dietary restrictions.

Dessert

19. Pumpkin Pie

Without a doubt, pumpkin pie is standard for holiday dinners. This is the easiest vegan pumpkin pie you will ever make! Perfect for a vegan Christmas dinner. This recipe also includes the directions for making a vegan pie crust. Top this pie off with some vegan whipped cream and you will have the vegan pumpkin pie of your dreams.

20. Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting

What is smoother and creamier than cream cheese frosting? Homemade vegan cream cheese of course! The best part about this “lactose-free!” alternative is that it can go on any dessert. This cream cheese frosting is made with tangy and sweet flavors that pair perfectly with my two favorite cake flavors: carrot cake and red velvet.

21. Pecan Pie

Let’s face it, the holidays can make us all a little bit nuts, so take the nuts into your own hands and serve them up hot! Turning the traditional pecan pie recipe into a vegan-approved dessert is not just ‘pie in the sky talk here. This delightful, down-to-earth dessert is easily achievable AND it’s heavenly! What makes this recipe different from the traditional pecan pie recipe is the vegan pastry dough base, the brown rice syrup to replace corn syrup, coconut sugar to replace regular refined sugar, and flax meal to substitute for eggs. I also highly recommend the vegan whipped cream to top it off.

22. Vegan Deep Fried Ice Cream Burrito

DId you know that you can enjoy ice cream in the winter? If you deep fry them of course. This burrito-style deep-fried ice cream uses phyllo’s pastry sheets, which are way crispier and lighter than your average ice cream ball! Remember to make extras because your friends will devour them when they see this.

23. No Bake Pumpkin Spice Mini Cheesecakes

You can never have enough pumpkin spice when it comes to cozy up in the winter months. These mini pumpkin cheesecakes will be a crowd pleaser and a life saver because it requires no bake, no hassle and everyone can get their own! No sharing required.

24. Easy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Squares

Have you ever wanted to try those blondie brownies at cafes but couldn’t because it wasn’t vegan? Well, now you make these right at home! When there’s a will, there is always a way.

25. Vegan Ginger Molasses Cookies

Every Christmas season, Starbucks sells ginger molasses cookies that people line up for. However, vegans truly miss out on these options because it contains eggs and butter. You can be rest assured, I have got a vegan alternative to your favorite Ginger Molasses cookies! Going vegan ain’t so hard when you are part of the EdgyVeg community.

26. Snowball Cookies

You don’t always have to wait for Christmas to enjoy these snowball cookies. Whenever you are craving the buttery flavors of cookies with a powdered sugar aftertaste, these cookies are made for you.

A Christmas without gingerbread man cookies is just a sad one. Let’s be real, no matter how many years have passed, gingerbread man cookies are a staple dessert for the Christmas tradition. It’s nostalgic and brings people together of their fondest childhood memories.

29. Peppermint Bark Recipe

Vegan peppermint bark is dairy free and you can make them without the 40$ price tag! It’s as simple as melting your favorite chocolate and popping them in the fridge overnight.

34. Gluhwein or German Hot Mulled Wine

Mulled wine is a classic cocktail for a fabulous Christmas feast! End the night on a high note with this unforgettable concoction. This is how classy people get wasted.

How you can make Grilled Salads – Vegan Club Salad

EdgyVeg — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 02:03:24 +0000

Vegan Grilled Club Salad

Summer is almost over, but that won’t stop me from grilling in my backyard! I don’t know about you, but I absolutely fell in love with my new grill this year and I can’t get enough of creating new recipes I have never tried before. Anything can taste delicious over the grill if you have the right techniques and flavors. For this recipe, I tried to replicate a club sandwich, using similar ingredients and cooking them in completely different ways. This quick and super easy recipe was inspired by a club sandwich of course, but I had to try something new and turn it into a grilled salad!

Related Recipe: Grilled Caesar Salad

Other Dishes that Pair well with the recipe:

Immune Boosting Beet Apple Juice –if you are looking for a super clean and healthy drink pairing – no more paying $7+ on juices you can make at home!
Grilled Cucumber Flatbread Recipe – While you have the grill running, why not pop in a flatbread and try this grilled cucumber flatbread recipe? This recipe is packed with protein!
Grilled Peaches & Pimento – If you have extra time and ingredients, you have to try this sweet and savory BBQ Recipe! Period.
Grilled Portobello Mushroom Sandwich– Okay, so if you’re sick of vegetables and flatbreads, you can also pop in a portobello mushroom in the grill and make this beautiful, classic grilled portobello burger. Summer is not over until the grill is back in the house!
Vegan Margarita Recipes: Now, if you are hosting a BBQ party in the backyard, vegan drinks are on me!

Pro Tips:

When Grilling with your vegetables, don’t put the heat on too high – this will burn your lettuce too fast.
Do all the preparations in advance before finishing the sauce to make it easier to toss everything in right after grilling the vegetables.
You can use any of your favorite bread to go with this recipe – if you are not a baguette person of course.
If you are feeling extra fancy, throw in your favorite herbs (basil is a good choice) to add Earthiness and lightness to compliment the warm vegetables.

INGREDIENTS:

Sauce

1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 cup egg-free mayonnaise
1/2 avocado or vegan sour cream
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
unsweetened oat or soy milk, as needed to thin out

Vegan Hungarian Mushroom Soup

This recipe is inspired by traditional Hungarian Mushroom Soup but vegan. It is creamy and thick and packed with umami flavour. The extra creaminess in this recipe comes from soy milk and blended cashews. Non-vegan versions of this soup often use sour cream, so the combination of cashews and lemon juice really satisfies that flavour and provides a vegan sour creaminess.

The way you blend is up to you, I prefer using an immersion blender in the pot but use what you have, you can carefully pour the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth before serving. I like my soup very well blended but you can leave it a little bit chunky if you prefer.

Ingredients

1 lb (16oz) cremini mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup butter, vegan or plant-based
1 cooking onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
sea salt, as needed
¼ cup flour
1 tsp dried thyme

In a large pot, melt vegan butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic, mushrooms, and a pinch of salt, and cook for 15 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent, and mushrooms have released their liquid.
Stir flour into the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for 2 mins.
Add thyme and paprika, and stir in broth, and soy sauce. Stir to remove any clumps, then bring the mixture to a boil, and immediately reduce heat to medium and simmer until the soup begins to thicken about 10 mins. Add soy milk and simmer for about 10 mins.
Reduce heat to low and transfer ¼ of the soup mixture to a blender, along with cashews and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
Add blended soup back to the pot and stir to combine.
