When and how to prepare them?
At breakfast
Faux-mage, tofu and cretons and pâtés are a welcome addition to the first meal of the day! For a hearty breakfast, why not try scrambled tofu with faux-mage, a vegan BLT made with tofu bacon, or cretons and plant-based pâtés accompanied by a green salad, tomatoes and cucumbers. And nothing beats a good bowl of fresh oatmeal where cow’s milk is replaced with a vegetable alternative.
At lunch
Craving a lunch that’s filling and easy? Seitan, tempeh and plant-based ground meat (imitation beef) can be served in many ways. Why not add sliced grilled tempeh to a sandwich or seitan to an apple salad with a honey-based dressing? A good Vegeat burger-style hot dog made of vegetable mince is also a fine, quick and delicious substitute for meat.
At dinner
There’s no shortage of options for cooking great meals with vegetable proteins. First, opt for something to start the evening with a variety of veggie appetizers to whet the appetite. Plant-based charcuterie, plant-based patties or imitation chicken are also perfect for suppertime. Choose plant-based deli meats for a stacked sandwich or plant-based patties for a vegetarian cheeseburger with aioli. Imitation chicken croquettes with a sweet and sour sauce also appeal to gourmands.
