Alright, we're gonna have a recipe thread. All my recipes are vegan and relatively whole food (no refined sugar, no added oil), and I only keep the ones that were easy and tasty (to me). So that's what you're gonna get from me.
Feel free to post any of your own, doesn't have to follow my guidelines.
Here's a no-bake Apple Cream Pie:

INGREDIENTS:
A. Crust/Topping Layer:
1. 2 small (or 1 large) apples, grated
2. 1 tsp. lemon juice
3. 1 C. shredded coconut
4. 1+1/4 cups ground walnuts
5. 10 dates, pitted
6. 1 tsp. cinnamon
7. 1 tsp. sea salt
B. Cream Layer:
1. 1 cups cashews (if you have a high-powered blender; if not, soak 1 cup of cashews in water for an hour first, or use 1 cup peanut butter)
2. 2 Tbsp date paste (or 5 chopped dates)
3. 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
4. 1 tsp. vanilla
5. 1 tsp. lemon juice
6. 1 Tbsp flour (I find coconut flour or oat flour works well for this)
7. 2 small apples (or 1 large), cored and chopped eighths

DIRECTIONS
* Crust:
* Process walnuts, dates, cinnamon, and sea salt from Crust layer in a food processor.
* Set aside 1/4 cup of this mix for topping later.
* To the rest of the crust mixture, add the grated apples, coconut, and lemon juice, and mix
* Place mixture into pie pan and form into crust
* Place pan in freezer while preparing the rest
* Cream:
* Place all cream ingredients in blender and blend until smooth (may take a minute if not using a high-powered blender)
* Pour on top of crust and spread evenly
* Topping:
* Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of topping on top of pie
* Place entire pie in freezer for 1.5 hours, or in fridge overnight

Here's another one that doesn't require cooking.
It's a Chickpea Salad. Tastes similar to tuna salad, and I use it the same way. Super easy, I make this stuff all the time.

Anyway, Chickpea Salad:

INGREDIENTS:
1. 2 small carrots
2. 2 celery stalks
3. 1/4 red onion
4. 3 medium pickles
5. 1 can (16 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or 2 cups cooked)
6. 1 tsp. salt
7. 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
8. 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
9. 1 Tbsp. vinegar (white or apple cider)
10. 2 Tbsp. mustard
11. (optional) 1 Tbsp. tahini

DIRECTIONS:
* In food processor, process carrots, celery, and onion until finely chopped
* Separately, process the rest of the ingredients to chunky texture
* Mix together and store in airtight container in refrigerator.

>no-bake

Alright. Here's a Pesto. It's the only Pesto recipe I could come up with that didn't use added oil and still tasted good (to me, at least)

Pesto
INGREDIENTS:
1. 1/2 cup walnuts (or pine nuts, but I find those to be expensive for what they are)
2. 1/2 cup navy beans (or chickpeas, or any other white beans)
3. 2 cups packed fresh leaves (I usually mix basil and spinach)
4. 4 cloves garlic
5. 1/2 Tbsp. salt
6. 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
7. 1 Tbsp. water
8. 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
9. red pepper to taste
10. mushrooms

DIRECTIONS:
* blend all except mushrooms on low setting to desired consistency
* sauté mushrooms in water, and add to sauce

I usually serve this over baked wedges of potatoes, or over noodles. I dig it.

>pic not mine, but it's a pesto, so it looks like this basically

Then post a better recipe, faggot
That's what this thread is all about

If there is any interest in this thread, I will continue posting my recipes.

If you guys got some, feel free to post those for Veeky Forums as well. They don't have to be vegan or whole foods or anything like mine, just some tasty dishes for you other coo/ck/s.

If Veeky Forums is only about jackposting and McChickens, I apologize for the misunderstanding, and will let this thread slide.

>If Veeky Forums is only about jackposting and McChickens
Yes, that is the point of Veeky Forums.

All right, my very simple bread roll recipe.
0. Make sure the room temperature is around 20 degrees C to make fermentation easier.
1. Take 12g of fresh baker's yeast and dilute it in 15cl of warm water
2. Mix 250g of flower (white or other) with a teaspoon of salt in a bowl
3. Mix the baker's yeast in the water until you get a brownish mixture and pour it in the middle of the flour bowl.
4. Mix with a wooden spoon until most of the water is incorporated in the flour.
5. Knead for about 5 minutes until all the flower is a nice and even sticky ball.
6. Let ferment for one hour in the bowl covered with a clean cloth.
7. Put some flower on your kitchen surface and pour the dough out of the bowl.
8. Knead the dough into 4 even balls and place on an oven plate (preferably using a non-stick surface)
9. Let ferment for about 1 hour covered by a cloth and preheat the oven to 220C.
10. Now the buns should have doubled in size. Place the plate in the oven and a small bowl of water (heat resistant) on the bottom. Let bake for 15 minutes.
11. Let cool on a grill or simply on the surface.
Key points are letting ferment twice and swell up to a nice size, otherwise the bun will be very dense and dry up quickly.
Can be kept for a few days in a paper bag until they become hard. Have never seen it grow mold even after a week.

Looks pretty simple. I think I'll give this a try, thanks.

Sweet, more posters. Glad to see other people here actually make food.

Here's another fairly simple recipe.
Thai Peanut Sauce

INGREDIENTS:
1. 1/4 cup peanuts
2. 2 tsp. ginger powder (or 1 small pinky diced ginger)
3. 1 Tbsp. sriracha (or 1/2 tsp. cayenne)
4. 3 Tbsp. (4 cloves) minced garlic
5. 4 Tbsp. soy sauce
6. 4 Tbsp. lime juice
7. 4 Tbsp. rice vinegar
8. 8 Tbsp. peanut butter
9. 1/4 cup water

DIRECTIONS:
* Add all ingredients except water in a bowl.
* Slowly add water and mix until desired consistency

I usually serve this over noodles and veggies of any kind. Also good with some chopped basil on top. Makes about 4 servings.

>pic again not mine, but it looks kinda similar

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

INGREDIENTS:
1. large head cauliflower
2. 1/2 cup chickpea flour (or other flour)
3. 1/2 cup water
4. 1/4 cup rice vinegar
5. 1/2 - 3/4 cup sriracha (or other hot sauce)
6. 1/2 tsp. soy sauce

DIRECTIONS:
* Preheat Oven to 450 degrees F.
* Form a batter from water and flour.
* Toss cauliflower in batter, spread on parchment paper + sheet pan.
* Bake for 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
* Mix sriracha, vinegar, and soy sauce in pot.
* Heat sauce on low until warm, but not bubbling, then turn off heat.
* After cauliflower is done baking, toss with heated sauce, bake for further 3 minutes.

These are excellent when dipped in the Thai Peanut Sauce from this recipe

Stopped reading, these are always shit.

So it's like bad hummus?

Sorry dude, I appreciate your genuine effort but I we have no desire to eat bland as fuck food. No added sugar? Alright. No oil? Fuck that. I mean, there's nothing very unique about these recipes, just take a good recipe and remove the oil and maybe replace roasting with steaming or whatever.

Baked Falafel:

INGREDIENTS:
1. 1/2 cup chickpea flour
2. 1 can chickpeas (or 1 cup dried, soaked in water overnight)
3. 1/2 a large onion
4. 1/2 tsp. cayenne
5. 1/2 tsp. salt
6. 1/2 tsp. black pepper
7. 1 tsp. smoked paprika
8. 2 tsp. chili powder
9. 2 tsp. ground coriander seed
10. 2 tsp. cumin
11. 3 cloves minced garlic
12. 1 Tbsp lemon juice
13. (optional) 4 Tbsp fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS:
* Process everything in a food processor except chickpea flour, until chunky and evenly mixed
* Mix in chickpea flour until even spread throughout
* Spoon out balls (I prefer a heaping Tbsp sized) onto a baking sheet (greased or parchment papered)
* Bake at 400 degrees F for approximately 25 minutes, flipping falafel after 10 minutes
* They are done when they have a firm texture and crispy surface

I usually eat these with hummus or a thick hot sauce like sriracha (I got a good homemade recipe for this, if anyone wants it), either dipped or on a flatbread with veggies.

>Stopped reading, these are always shit.
Then post a better recipe. That's what the thread is here for.

>So it's like bad hummus?
Nope, it doesn't taste anything like hummus. The closest I can compare it to is tuna salad, though it's not exactly like that either. I use it the same as I would use tuna salad, and it's good (to me, anyway).

>I we have no desire to eat bland as fuck food. No added sugar? Alright. No oil? Fuck that.

The dude didn't say you have to share those types of recipes. If you're not into it, cool. I'm happy to eat stuff with oil and sugar. Let's see what you got.

Ah, what the heck, since hummus was listed in these posts I might as well share my hummus recipe.

>1 can chickpeas or 2 cups of cooked chickpeas
>1/4 cup (4 Tbsp) tahini
>1/2 teaspoon salt
>1 tablespoon water
>4 tablespoon lemon juice
>2-3 tablespoon minced garlic
>2 tablespoons olive oil
(optional) other ingredients for flavor:
-dates/baked jalapeño (bake jalepeño for 10 mins @ 400 degrees)
-pineapple/baked thai chilis
-smoked paprika
-cumin, 1/2 tsp salt
-caramelized onions
-pepper sauce
-1/4 cups olives (green or black)

Put it all in blender or food processor, and blend. add more water if needed until good consistency.

Thanks for sharing. Good to see that there are actually people with relevant posts, instead of just
>I don't like it!

I might actually try making hummus tonight for the first time. Thanks for the recipe!

Here's my recipe for turkey meatloaf:

1 lb ground turkey
1/4 cup or so of ketchup or barbecue sauce or even milk (just something moist)
One large egg
Breadcrumbs, crushed up crackers, oats or a couple pieces of torn up bread (about a half cup or so)
1/2 of a medium to large white onion
A clove or two of garlic
Any other vegetables (spinach, chopped tomatoes, jalapenos, bell pepper, whatever) you have on hand
Salt, pepper, cumin and any other spices that will complement your other add-ins
Additional ketchup to coat the loaf

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit

Mix everything up in a large mixing bowl. I find hand-mixing is best, but you could use a wooden spoon or something if you prefer

Form mixture into a firm loaf in a glass baking dish, wetting your hands with cold water to help smooth out the loaf, if needed

Bake at 375 for 40 minutes

Top loaf with as much additional ketchup as you prefer (you can also mix the ketchup with sriracha, spices, hot pepper jelly etc. or use another somewhat thick sauce altogether, if you prefer)

Bake for an additional 10-20 minutes

Remove from the oven and let sit for ten minutes, uncovered

Slice and serve with green vegetables, mashed potatoes, etc

Also great for sandwiches the next day!

Kind of expected more of Veeky Forums to have recipes to throw in here.

I got another fairly simple one here.
>Spicy Coconut Tomato Sauce

INGREDIENTS:
1. 2 cups coconut milk (or 1 can)
2. 3 Tbsp. tomato pastE
3. 1 tsp. chili powder
4. 1 tsp. kosher salt
5. 2 tsp. cayenne pepper

I often will mix mushrooms and peanuts with this. Sometimes, I will simply use it as a dip for bread.

>doesn't really look exactly like pic related, but whatever, have a pic

I do really like this thread and would like to see it continue

I'm just a shitty cook and mix things in completely indeterminate amounts every time, so nothing I cook has an actual recipe. This sauce sounds super good though.

Cool, I'll post some more as I get time.

For now, here's a recipe for Battered Veggies:

INGREDIENTS:
1. 2 cups desired vegetables (corn, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.)
2. 1/3 cup chickpea flour (or any other flour)
3. 1/4 cup water
4. (optional) 1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
5. 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
6. 1 Tbsp. sriracha
7. 1/2 tsp. pepper
8. 1/2 tsp. salt
9. 1 tsp. ground cumin

DIRECTIONS:
* Preheat oven to 420
* Mix all ingredients except vegetables and water
* Slowly mix in water until a thick batter is achieved
* Toss vegetables in batter
* Place on parchment paper + baking sheet, bake for a about 20 minutes

Oh, neat. Old Veeky Forums style.

It's not much, but here's a recipe for an extremely basic meat rub that I use on pretty much everything. Steak, chicken, pork, you name it. It's great for meat you plan on using in tacos or burritos.

>1 tsp dried oregano
>1/2 tsp cumin powder
>1/4 tsp garlic powder
>1/4 tsp onion powder
>1/8 to 1/4 cayenne pepper depending on desired intensity
>2 tsp vegetable or olive oil
This should be enough for a single cut of meat, so multiply by however many cuts you're using.

I can't recommend it enough.

Sorry, 1/8 to 1/4 tsp cayenne. I know it's obvious but I couldn't leave it unsaid.

Menudo.

I don't know how willing and able you white-bros are when it comes to eating tripe, but I promise you this dish is the best. I always make a huge amount, so that's the recipe I'm posting. Also, either have a very large pot ready or be prepared to boil each main item separately and combining into a pot afterwards.

> about 8 - 10 pounds of tripe (cut up if you're able, but you're going to need to cube it regardless
> beef feet (patas) that are pre sliced; as many as you want
> I large can of hominy
> I large can of red enchilada sauce
> I small can of El pato hot tomato sauce
> Onions
> cilantro
> corn tortillas
> pre packaged menudo mix
> limes
> salt

First, cube your tripe into bite sized pieces. Then, either boil it in a large pot or crockpot it along with the beef feet. This can take up to 6 or 7 hours, depending on how tender you want your tripe. The longer the better. Add sliced onions to the boil.

After the meat is tender, add your hominy. Let it simmer for at least another hour. Then, you can add the enchilada sauce and tomato sauce.
Again, let it simmer for an hour.

Dice your onions and cilantro. You're going to add a little of this to your bowl after serving, along with some menudo mix.
But here's my favorite part.
Warm up your corn tortillas. Don't bother with the cheap ones, either make them fresh or buy them from a Mexican grocery store that makes them.
Rub lime on the tortilla, add some onions and cilantro on top of it, salt it, and roll up the tortilla like a joint. If you have salsa, pour some of that in the tortilla also.
Dip this tortilla into the menudo while you're eating, taking a bite of the tortilla every so often.

>no-bake
oh god why? Just make an actual tart and add in a basic custard of milk, vanilla, and egg at the end of the cooking
>pesto
>no oil
>beans
Only makes sense that a namefag makes shit

Pound of ground beef
Quarter-Half a head of cabbage
Cup of chopped onions
Cup of diced bacon
Half a cup of dried tomatoes
Garlic to taste (3 cloves minimum for me)

Salt
Pepper

Brown the beef in a large pot, add onions and bacon.
Chop tomatoes and garlic, slice cabbage as finely as you can be assed then dump them in.
Add a cup of water, a tbsp of salt (depends how salty your bacon is) and pepper to taste.

Stew at least half an hour.
Serve over pasta.

Does anyone have a recipe for a McChicken, the best fast food sandwich?

Thank you random food fairy. If you have more please post.

>All my recipes are vegan

blocked and deleted

>waah, I don't like it!
Then post better recipes, faggot. That's what this thread is here for.

>waah, someone eats differently than me!
Then post all the meaty, milky recipes you want, faggot. That's what this thread is here for.

My favorite recipe is for banana bread/muffins. It was the first thing I learned to bake.

Ingredients:
2 overripe bananas
1/2 c sugar (more if your bananas aren't super ripe)
2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
About 1 tsp cinnamon, depending on your taste
About 1/2 tsp nutmeg if you like
1 c crushed walnuts
1/3 c oil
1/2 c milk

Mix bananas and sugar, then mix with oil and milk. Whisk dry ingredients together. Mix all together in bowl. Pour into one bread loaf pan or a dozen muffin tins. Bake at 350° until it's done.

Cool, I'll keep randomly posting as I get a moment here and there.

When I went vegan a few years ago, I desperately looked for a vegan Mac and Cheese that was any good. I went through like a dozen recipes before I found something that I could modify into a good meal. This is my go-to comfort food dish So here it is:

>Vegan Mac and Cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. 1+1/2 cups raw cashews
2. 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
3. 3/4 cup water
4. 1 Tbsp. (~1 clove) minced garlic
5. 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
6. 1+1/2 Tbsp. miso paste
7. 1/4 tsp. turmeric
8. 1/2 tsp. cayenne
9. 1/2 tsp. chili powder
10. 1 tsp. onion powder
11. 1 tsp. sea salt
12. (optional) 1 tsp. smoked paprika

DIRECTIONS
* Soak cashews for 3+ hours (optionally, boil them for 20 minutes instead), then drain and rinse
* Blend all ingredients until smooth

Serve over noodles, obviously. I sometimes will pour the cooked noodles and cheese sauce into a baking dish, and top it with spinach, peas, and/or breadcrumbs and bake it at 350 F for 15 minutes. I will also sometimes top it with tempeh bacon, for which I'll probably post a recipe later.

>INSTRUCTIONS
*INGREDIENTS
whatever, you get what I'm saying

Here's a couple of decent salad dressing recipes

>Sesame Miso Dressing
1. 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
2. 1/2 Tbsp. miso paste
3. 1 Tbsp. water
4. 1 tsp. rice vinegar
5. 1 date (or 1/4 tsp. sugar)
*Blend it all together

>Mustard "Vinaigrette"
1. 5 Tbsp. mustard (preferably dijon, but brown also works)
2. 4 Tbsp. vinegar (preferably balsamic, but apple cider also works)
3. 2 Tbsp. water
4. 1 tsp. black pepper
*Mix it all together

Here's a recipe for challah. From my grandma. Pic related: it is my attempt at the recipe.

Challah - 1 loaf
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus
1 (2 tsp) package dry yeast
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup warm water (80 -90)
Glaze: 1 egg, beaten

Directions:

1. First measure out all your ingredients.
2. Now from the 1/3 of cup sugar take 1 tablespoon of the sugar & combine it with the yeast & warm water (you know you have the right temperature of warm water when it's warn to the touch). This is called "proofing the yeast"
3. After the yeast has dissolved (it's nice & foamy) add to it the rest of the sugar, salt & 1 1/2 cups flour.
4. Mix well.
5. Add egg (already beaten) & oil.
6. Slowly start mixing in most of the remaining flour. The dough will become quite thick. When the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, turn it onto a floured surface & knead for approximately 10 minute.
7. Add only enough additional flour to make dough manageable. Knead until dough is smooth & elastic, springing back when pressed lightly with your fingertip.
8. Place dough into a large oiled bowl turning the dough once so its oiled on all sides.
9. Cover with a damp towel & let rise in a warm place for 2 hours, punching down in 4-5 places every 20 minutes. After the 2 hours, turn your dough onto your working surface.
10. Prepare your baking sheet by oiling it.
Preheat oven to 375ḞF.
11. Next, cut the dough into thirds.
Roll each third out till its about 10-12 inches (I'm guessing I never measured it) & loosely braid all 3 roll together pinching the top & bottom half together& turning them slightly under.
12. Place on baking sheet.
13. Now let the challah rise for 1/2 an hour or until approx. doubled.
14. After the challah has risen glaze with beaten egg.
15. Put in preheated oven & let bake for exactly 25 minutes. Turn off oven and let sit in oven for exactly 10 min or 200 deg on insta read thermometer.
16. Remove from oven.

Black Bean Garlic Sauce

1. 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2. 1 medium bell pepper, seeded and chopped (any color)
3. 1 small onion, chopped
4. 2 Tbsp (~2-3 cloves) garlic, minced
5. 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
6. 4 Tbsp lemon juice
7. 1/4 tsp. salt
8. 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Blend it all until until smooth. Store refrigerated in an air-tight container.

Black Bean Sauce gets used in some Asian dishes. I also will use this on pita or other flatbread, throw some veggies on it, and cook it for a pizza-like dish.

I'm sorry, but that's not challah!

Pretty complex but pretty tasty

Its the dough, but I didn't braid it. I was making sandwiches out of it and its easier to do it with a loaf than a braid.

Then post a better recipe, faggot. That's what this thread is here for.

i made these by throwing and combining recipes and it was delicious.
