Ingredients

1 batch Vegan Flaky Pastry
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp (250 g) firm vegan butter diced
  • cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (55 g) caster sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1–3 tbsp (20–40 ml) cold water
Filling
  • 3 cups (685 g) sour cherries in juice
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • cup (75 g) caster sugar
  • 4 tbsp (32 g) cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) water
Topping
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) plant-based milk
  • 1 tbsp (12–15 g) sugar
  • Vegan whipped cream
  • Cherries for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the Vegan Flaky Pastry; divide the pastry into two. Grease and line an 8 to 10–inch (20 to 25–cm) fluted tart tin.
  • Roll out half of the pastry until it is about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick. Carefully roll the pastry onto a rolling pin to transport it onto your tin. Unroll the pastry over the pastry tin and lightly ease the edges into the bottom corners of the tin, ensuring there are no pockets of air under the pastry or in the flutes. Using a small sharp knife, trim the excess pastry from the edges of the shell. Chill the pastry in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until it is firm; this will help prevent shrinkage.
  • To make the filling, place your cherries and juice, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger and sugar in a small saucepan and heat to a gentle simmer. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then add it to your heating cherries. Cook this mixture for approximately 2 minutes. We are looking for the mixture to begin to thicken; however, we do not want to thicken the liquids too much, as this will happen in the oven. Cool the mixture to room temperature.
  • Preheat your oven to 355°F (180°C). Roll out the remaining pastry into a rectangle. Cut out 20 strips, each ⅓ inch (1 cm) wide, ensuring they are the length of your tart tin.
  • Lay the pastry strips in a lattice over the cherry filling. Begin by laying 10 strips going in one direction, then weave the other 10 in and out, leaving the loose ends of the strips hanging over the edge of the tin. Run a knife around the outskirts of the tin to trim away any excess.
  • Brush the top of the tart with some plant-based milk, then sprinkle the sugar over the pastry. Bake in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the tart is a rich, golden brown. Serve with cream and cherries.

To make the Vegan Flaky Pastry

  • To start, I place my diced butter and the food processor bowl and blades in the freezer until the butter is rock solid.
  • To begin the pastry, place the flour, sugar, salt and cold butter in the cold food processor and pulse until it is roughly mixed and has a large crumb-like consistency. Add the cold water and continue to pulse until it is just combined, maintaining large streaks of butter. I normally pulse until the dough has formed into little pebbles the size of lentils.
  • Remove the dough from the food processor and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Working quickly, gently press the dough between your fingertips so that it comes together. Now shape it into a rectangle. Wrap it with cling wrap and place in the fridge to rest for 10 minutes.

Roll 1

  • Once rested, unwrap the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Dust a rolling pin with flour and roll out the dough into an 8 x 16–inch (20 x 40–cm) rectangle. Fold the short ends into each other so they meet in the middle. Fold the two short ends over again to create a book fold. Give the rectangle of dough a quarter turn, 90 degrees to the left.

Roll 2

  • Lightly dust the dough with flour and roll it out again to approximately 8 x 16 inches (20 x 40 cm). Repeat the folding process, ensuring the dough is turned a further 90 degrees to the left once again. Wrap it with cling wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Roll 3

  • Repeat the previous step. Wrap with cling wrap and rest in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • Now the dough is ready to be rolled out in whatever way you wish.

This article was written by Alessandro Vitale on the PBN Website.

These sticky cauliflower wings from Alessandro Vitale’s cookbook Low Waste Kitchen make a great plant-based dinner. They’re crispy on the outside, tender inside, and coated in a sweet, sticky sauce with a little kick. There’s no chicken here — just cauliflower, battered, baked, and tossed in flavor.

They’re great for sharing at parties, serving as a starter, or enjoying as a quick dinner. You can bake or pan-fry them, depending on your mood. The sticky sauce made from soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger, and sesame seeds adds bold flavor without much effort.

The recipe is fully vegan and easy to follow. You’ll use simple pantry ingredients like flour, plant-based milk, and panko breadcrumbs. Garnish with spring onions and extra sesame seeds, and you’ve got a crowd-pleaser. They’re best served hot, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for a day or two and reheat them later. These wings are a great plant-based comfort food that’s easy and seriously delicious.

  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Panko breadcrumbs to coat
  • Spring onions sliced, to garnish
For the sticky sauce

Mix the batter

  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, milk, garlic powder, salt and black pepper and stir to form a smooth batter.

Coat and bake

Prepare the sticky sauce

  • Coat the wings When the baked cauliflower wings are ready, pour over the sauce and toss to coat evenly.

Garnish and serve

  • Garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds and serve.

Storage

  • Best served fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for 1–2 days.

Try This Pālak Tofu For Dinner Tonight https://plantbasednews.org/veganrecipes/dinner/palak-tofu/ https://plantbasednews.org/veganrecipes/dinner/palak-tofu/#respond Wed, 19 Feb 2025 16:44:10 +0000 https://plantbasednews.org/?p=348345 This dish is spicy, comforting, and pretty straightforward to make

This article was written by Dr. Sheil Shukla on the PBN Website.

]]>
Pālak tofu is a plant-based take on the classic Indian dish pālak paneer. Instead of dairy-based paneer, this version uses turmeric-spiced tofu, making it a high-protein, vegan-friendly meal. The dish features a smooth spinach gravy flavored with garlic, ginger, and warm spices like cumin and coriander. This combination creates a rich yet light dish that pairs well with rice, rotli, or paratha.

Spinach is packed with vitamins A and C, iron, and fiber, making it a nutritious base for this dish. The tofu adds plant protein while absorbing the flavors of the spices. For those who prefer a creamier texture, a cashew cream variation can be added.

This recipe comes from Dr. Sheil Shukla’s cookbook Plant-Based India, which brings plant-forward versions of traditional Indian meals. Whether for a weeknight dinner or a special meal, pālak tofu is a flavorful, nourishing dish that highlights the depth of Indian cooking in a vegan-friendly way.

Cook Time30 minutes
Prep Time30 minutes
Servings4

Ingredients

Gravy
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 yellow onion diced (about 2 cups/300 g)
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • 8 garlic cloves minced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 green chili minced, plus more to taste
  • 3 cups packed roughly chopped spinach (about 5 ounces/140 g)
Turmeric tofu
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • One 14-ounce (400 g) block extra firm tofu drained and pressed for 30 to 60 minutes and cut into ¾-inch (2 cm) cubes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon garam masālā
  • Juice of ½ lime about 2 teaspoons, or to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a wide pan or braising pan over medium heat. Add the coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds and heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the onion and salt, and stir occasionally until softened and starting to brown, 10 minutes. Adjust the heat between medium-low and medium to prevent the onions from browning too quickly.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, and green chili, and stir until very fragrant, 2 minutes. Add 1 cup (240 ml) water, increase the heat to medium high, and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the spinach, stir, cover, and continue to cook until it has just started to wilt, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl or blender, and stir in 4 to 6 ice cubes to cool quickly.
  • Blend until smooth. This gravy can be chunkier or smoother according to your own preference. Set aside.
  • To prepare the tofu, heat the oil in a large, wide nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the tofu and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally until the tofu is lightly browned on most sides, about 10 minutes. Stir in the turmeric until the tofu pieces are evenly coated.
  • Pour the spinach gravy into the pan. Bring to a brief simmer over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from the heat. Stir in the garam masālā and lime juice and adjust the salt to taste.
Variation: For a creamier version, soak cup (50 g) cashews in hot water for 30 minutes, drain, then blend with cup (80 ml) water until smooth. Add to the gravy in step 7 before simmering.

How To Make These Immune-Boosting Turmeric And Ginger Shots https://plantbasednews.org/veganrecipes/snacks/turmeric-ginger-shots/ https://plantbasednews.org/veganrecipes/snacks/turmeric-ginger-shots/#respond Thu, 13 Feb 2025 16:39:55 +0000 https://plantbasednews.org/?p=348006 Making your own ginger and turmeric shots can save you a lot of money

This article was written by Natali Eleftheriou on the PBN Website.

]]>
Ginger and turmeric shots are small but powerful drinks. Made with a variety of fresh ingredients like oranges, lemon, apple, turmeric, and ginger, these shots are designed to support immunity, aid digestion, and provide a natural energy boost.

These wellness shots have grown in popularity, often seen in juice bars and health food stores as a quick way to get concentrated nutrients. They are particularly popular during colder months when people look for ways to support their immune systems naturally. The combination of citrus and spices not only makes for a vibrant and refreshing drink but also delivers a strong kick that many people find invigorating.

Ginger and turmeric are widely recognized for their immune-supporting properties due to their potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds. Ginger contains gingerol, which has been shown to help fight infections and reduce inflammation, while turmeric is rich in curcumin, a powerful antioxidant that supports immune function by modulating the body’s inflammatory response. When combined, these two ingredients help protect cells from damage, support gut health – which is closely linked to immunity – and may even aid in reducing symptoms of colds and flu.

Despite their benefits, pre-made ginger and turmeric shots can be expensive, with small bottles often costing as much as a full-sized juice. Making them at home, as this Natlicious Food recipe shows you how to do, allows for better control over ingredients, freshness, and cost. With just a few minutes of prep, it’s easy to batch-prepare these shots and store them in the fridge for a convenient daily dose of wellness.

This ginger noodle & vegetable red curry soup is a comforting, protein-packed meal. It’s made with textured vegetable protein (TVP), which is an excellent plant-based protein source. If you can’t find TVP, you can substitute with beans, tofu, or double up on the shiitake mushrooms.

Ingredients like ginger, turmeric, and red curry paste give the soup bold flavor while coconut milk makes it creamy and rich. It’s a perfect way to enjoy warming, nutrient-rich ingredients in a hurry.

This soup is great for cold winter nights. It’s ready in minutes and doesn’t require much effort, making it perfect for busy days.

This dish comes from Janet Gronnow’s cookbook, 15-Minute Vegan Meals. It’s simple, delicious, and easy to customize with your favorite veggies or spices. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and some chili garlic sauce for extra zing.

Ingredients

  • 1 large shallot
  • ½ red bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) avocado oil divided
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 3 large cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup (66 g) Thai red curry paste
  • 2 tsp (10 g) ginger paste plus more to taste
  • 3 cups (720 ml) vegetable broth (See note)
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (15-oz [425-g])
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup (50 g) dry textured vegetable protein (also known as TVP)
  • 4 oz (113 g) dry ramen noodles
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice (about ½ lemon)
  • 2 tbsp (2 g) fresh cilantro for serving (optional)
  • Chili garlic sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat a large pan or skillet on medium heat. Finely chop the shallot and slice the red bell pepper. Add these to the pan, along with 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of the oil. Stir and let them cook for approximately 2 minutes while you prepare the zucchini and garlic.
  • Trim the ends off the zucchini. Slice the zucchini lengthwise, then make slices crosswise to make half-moon shapes. Mince the garlic, then add the zucchini and garlic to the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the red curry paste, ginger paste, vegetable broth, coconut milk, turmeric, pepper, TVP, and dry ramen noodles.
  • Bring it to a boil, covering and raising the heat if needed, then lower the heat and cook at a gentle simmer, uncovered, for approximately 3 minutes, until the ramen noodles are tender.
  • While the soup is cooking, preheat a small skillet on medium-high heat. Remove the stems of the shiitake mushrooms, then slice the caps. Add the mushrooms to the pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • When you’re ready to serve, stir the lemon juice into the soup. If you’re a ginger lover, stir in a bit more ginger paste. To serve, divide the soup into bowls and top with the mushrooms, fresh cilantro, if using, and chili garlic sauce, if desired, for spicy heat.
Note: To thin the soup, you can add an additional 1⁄2 to 1 cup (120 to 240 ml) of vegetable broth, which would be a total of 4 cups (960 ml) of broth.

Romy London’s spicy swede and ginger soup is a cozy dish packed with flavor and warmth. Swede, also known as rutabaga, is a root vegetable with a slightly sweet, earthy taste. It’s a versatile and nutritious ingredient, rich in vitamin C and fiber. The addition of fresh ginger not only adds a spicy kick but also offers anti-inflammatory and digestion-boosting benefits, making this soup a perfect choice for the colder months.

The soup combines simple ingredients like swede, carrots, potatoes, celery, and onion, simmered with vegetable stock and blended until smooth. The ginger shines through, giving the soup a warming depth that complements the natural sweetness of the vegetables. It’s topped with dairy-free yogurt and chili flakes for extra creaminess and spice, but you can add croutons or chili tempeh for a more filling meal.

This hearty soup is quick and easy to make, perfect for a midweek dinner or meal prep. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge or frozen for later, making it a convenient option for busy days. Serve it with crusty bread, and you’ve got a vegan meal that’s wholesome, flavorful, and perfect for sharing.

Romy London uses molasses and vegan yogurt in the batter to create a rich flavor and fluffy texture. Coconut yogurt works well here as it’s naturally sweet and creamy. Coconut also works well with the festive flavors of maple syrup, cinnamon, and ginger, making these pancakes perfectly festive.

To assemble your stack of vegan pancakes, alternate between a pancake and some maple-sweetened yogurt as you make layers. Doing so will make your gingerbread pancakes look and taste even better.

Duration30 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Prep Time15 minutes
Servings4

Ingredients

  • 200 ml plant milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon coconut yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 120 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Coconut oil

Instructions

  • Start by placing the plant milk into a jug and stirring through the apple cider vinegar, then set aside to curdle for about 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger into a mixing bowl.
  • Stir the yogurt, maple syrup, molasses and vanilla extract into the curdled plant milk and whisk thoroughly to mix in the sticky molasses.
  • Pour the wet mix into the mixing bowl with the flour and whisk until you get a smooth batter. Set aside for 5 minutes and preheat and grease your non-stick pan in the meantime.
  • Add about 3 tablespoon of batter into the pan and shape your pancake with the back of a spoon. Carefully, but quickly flip once the edges begin to firm up. Repeat until the batter is used up. Please see the notes below for more information on the cooking process.
  • Serve your gingerbread pancakes stacked and fill maple-sweetened yogurt between the layers. Top with your favorite toppings and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
These pancakes can easily burn as they include molasses, so make sure to stay nearby to flip them at the right time and avoid burnt pancakes. I recommend only adding about 2 tablespoon per pancake and only making them about 1cm (½ inch) thick to ensure they cook evenly without the bottom burning. I use my gas stove on the lowest settings to make the pancakes and usually need to flip after 1-2 minutes, to give you an indicator – but it might be different depending on your stove and equipment, so keep a close eye on them.
For best results, I like to use a non-stick pan intended for crepes and pancakes – it works wonders! For the perfectly round and equal pancakes, I use a small pan (from Ikea) and fry my pancakes on one side in there before flipping them into a larger pan to finish them.
If you’re not a fan of coconut, then I recommend using either deodorized coconut oil or a flavor-neutral alternative such as rapeseed for greasing your pan.
