thread of vegan meals and recipes I'm making and eating 
I've been vegetarian for 25 years and I've just recently become completely vegan, for ethical + environmental reasons. I hope to inspire somebody with this, to even have one plant-based day a week! Everything counts.
food cw/ Pasta sautéed with garlic, EVO oil, ground toasted almonds, tomatoes and basil.
The picture isn't much to look at, sorry, but I swear it tastes divine.

I don't have a pretty picture because I brought this with me at uni in a lunchbox yesterday, and it's not ~gourmet but I figured it's a whole meal so I'd add it:
Rice & lentils + Italian cavolo nero (it's a sort of black cabbage, or kale, with long leaves) with a peanut sauce

food cw/ Pumpkin pasta! Steam the pumpkin, then â as the pasta is cooking â mix in a pan with EVO oil, garlic and chili pepper flakes. Remove the garlic, add the pasta, and add toasted almonds, which you'll have finely ground. Mix and serve for a delicious pasta dish! 
food cw/ Vermicelli noodles of your choice (these are derived from mushrooms, pea starch and corn starch, but there's soy and rice ones too) and mushrooms, cooked in vegan cream, with herbs, onion and garlic. Pretty much divine.

(forgot to take a picture, sadly as it was gorgeous) vegan shortcrust pastry quiche with various vegetables. We had different types of cabbage with carrots 
and if possible I suggest adding onion 
and some ground toasted nuts on top. Bake at 250°C until golden

Ground cashews, a mix of herbs (dried red onion, chives, garlic), some EVO oil and tamari sauce for a really good spread that makes for great appetizers 
food cw// (I'm sorry that the picture is bad, I thought about taking it only when I had almost finished this.)
Rice (basmati or what you have) with courgettes/zucchini, with ground toasted almonds and herbs of your choice. I've also added a liiiiiittle bit of miso paste.

food cw// This is a classic, but worth mentioning. Start making the sauce with EVO oil, garlic, onion if you can, then add the tomato sauce. Leave on medium then low fire, while you cook the pasta in boiling water with salt according to the box instructions. Mix in the pan.Enjoy!
food cw/ Add cherry tomatoes to a pan with EVO oil and garlic, then toasted almonds (I hammered them inside a towel but you can put them in a food processor) then add pre-cooked bulgur (works with couscous or pasta as well) and stir until all flavours are mixed together.
food cw/ Lemon SEITAN! Even my omnivore friends love this, I promise. Put natural seitan in a pan with EVO oil, the juice of half a lemon, and create a lemon sauce directly in the pan with flour or starch/cornflour; add herbs of your choice and serve
food cw/ Homemade pizza with zucchini on one side and red peppers on the other

and some maple syrup to sweeten.

food cw/ Purple rice with portobello mushrooms and cherry tomatoes
food cw/ I didnât make this, but I wanted to say I went to a pizzeria and they didnât have any vegan options, so I had them make the veggie pizza with no cheese (adding tomato sauce). It was delicious! The veggies were amazing, luckily.
food cw/ Picture is really bad but my skeptical relatives LOVED this vegan savoury pie. Add onion and oil to a pan, then aubergines (make sure to salt well!), then zucchini, then sweet green peppers (small ones). When ready place in the pie and bake for 20 mins.
food cw/ Tomato soup with onion, carrots, and green beans + boiled potatoes sautéed in a pan with vegan feta cheese (completely optional).

Adding salt to the tomato will make its water come out and that will make the base for the soup! Iâve also added ginger powder, turmeric, cooking wine, and a dash of coconut milk. 
this was delicious and I canât wait to make it again!

food cw/ Bell peppers sauce pasta, recipe by @/cucinabotanica on ig. Basically just cook bell peppers in a pan, then mix them until you have a sauce and voilĂ ! I added toasted almonds because, well, why not?
food cw/ Tomato and basil galette. This only works if you have GREAT tomatoes, i.e. not the watery ones I usually get in the city⊠as we were on holiday, this tasted wonderful.
food cw/ Nothing new but again: mixed veggies and my favourite, lemon sauce seitan. The recipe is somewhere in the thread but feel free to ask again if you need it!
food cw/ Savoury pie with lentils, carrots, courgettes/zucchini, and aubergines. I recommend this shape vs. the closed one in the background, because the veggies got âtoastedâ more on the surface and it added some crunch to the lentils especially! All veggies pre-cooked in a pan.
food cw/ VEGAN blue cheese sauce pasta, made with a vegan blue cheese + coconut milk + olive oil, and topped with black pepper. IT WAS TO DIE FOR.
Sauce: Cut the cheese into small pieces, heat up a little bit of EVO oil and add coconut milk to the pan, then thecheese. Stir.
