If vegan food is supposed to be expensive or bland, I'm definitely doing something wrong

Such a great dish! I have ruined it the last few times I tried to make it by cooking the lentils before the rice, do not do this! Otherwise, you can pretty much use any type of rice you want. I once used wild rice and it turned out great!

Can you clarify what you mean about the lentils? The recipe op linked seems to suggest the lentils should be cooked ahead of time. Is there a different recipe you would suggest that describes the technique you've found to work well?

I cook them separately, I've tried to took the lentils and add the rice to the pan during the cooking but it's really difficult to not overcook the rice or lentils.

[-] TheScaryDoor@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago

I found a one pot recipe on YouTube that has you cook the rice first and then add soaked lentils afterwards to finish cooking. One would think that this would make both mushy, but once you add the lentils they begin to take up all the heat and liquid. As mentioned if you attempt the opposite the lentils will still absorb the liquid even after you add the rice and you end up with undercooked lentils/rice unless you let it go for quite some time.

Ahh i missed that part. I have used a one pot version in which you start by cooking the rice and then afterwards adding presoaked lentils to cook. Of course with enough water to cook both.

Maybe it's me, but the plates design is the only thing my eyes can focus on.

[-] smashboy@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I really like the design of the plate, but it makes me unable to see the food for some reason. I have to zoom in far enough to crop out the plate.

Oh I have to make this soon again! So good!

I've never eaten this, but - by George - does it look tasty!

Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!

Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.


This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.

We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.

This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.

Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.


Rules

1. Be Vegan.

If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.

2. Post home cooking.

No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.

3. Join the Discord

We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.

4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.

While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.

5. Do not use trademarked brands

Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.

6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)

We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.

7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.

Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.

8. Adults Only.

While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult. If you have a gross and profane username you will be removed.
