New Recipe - Vegan Cornish Pasties - Tender diced potato, onion and swede, along with minced seitan in shortcrust pastry. Click the link in my bio ⬆️ for the recipe It was fun veganising this typically very non-vegan recipe. It just goes to show you can make a vegan version of pretty much anything. Please forgive my non-traditional crimping I hope you have a good Wednesday 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #pasty #cornishpasty #vegancornishpasty #pastry #swede #potato #onion #pastyrecipe #veganrecipe #veganpasty #savourypastries #veganfood #vegan #recipe #shortcrust #seitan #mockmeat #veganuk #britishvegan #britishfood #bethanysvegankitchen

Mac & cheese - No potatoes/carrots/cashews/nutritional yeast needed! This is a simple dairy free cheese sauce that you can have with pasta, potatoes, or poured over vegetables You'll need 25g dairy free margarine 25g plain flour 450ml unsweetened plant milk 100g dairy free cheese that melts Half a teaspoon of dijon mustard Salt and pepper to taste Melt the margarine in a small saucepan over a medium heat, once melted whisk in the flour Continue whisking for three or so minutes, this will ensure there's no raw flour flavour in the sauce Warm the milk, then add it a little at a time, whisking constantly. Once it's all incorporated add the cheese and mustard, then season with salt and pepper. Use white pepper if you don't want visible pepper, I used black because I don't mind seeing it Once the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, it's ready to use I stirred it through cooked pasta, topped with mozzarella, and melted it under a warm grill. A very rich, but totally vegan dish I hope you're having a good weekend 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #vegan #macandcheese #macaronicheese #veganmacandcheese #cheesypasta #smokedcheese #mozzarella #sheese #buteislandfoods #penne #dairyfreecheese #cheesesauce #cheesesaucerecipe #veganrecipe #tescofreefrom #carbsfordays #dairyfreeliving #veganfood #pastabake #bethanysvegankitchen

New Recipe - Dairy Free Feta, and a Feta & Cannellini Bean Dip 🧀🥗 - Click the link in my bio ⬆️ for the recipe This dairy free feta would go well on salads, in sandwiches or crumbled and sprinkled onto pasta, pizza or potatoes. Marinating extra firm tofu in a mixture of oil, lemon juice, cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, salt and herbs, gives you a lovely alternative to dairy feta cheese. It’s also lower in fat and higher in protein than dairy feta It does have a slightly different texture to dairy feta. But in regards to the flavour it does have the same salty, tangy taste that feta has I used two thirds of the feta along with cannellini beans, garlic and lemon juice to make this creamy bean dip. In addition to using it as a dip, it can also be eaten on sandwiches, crackers, or with salads. Full details are in my blog post I hope you have an awesome weekend 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #feta #veganfeta #dairyfreefeta #beandip #cannellinibeans #dip #vegancheese #crispbread #tofufeta #extrafirmtofu #veganrecipe #tofurecipe #fetacheese #tomato #ryvita #springonion #dairyfreecheese #soy #tofoo #bethanysvegankitchen

For lunch I'm munching my way through the Ryvita that @ryvitauk kindly sent me. I've been eating Ryvita for years, they make for a handy quick lunch, that you can top with all sorts This time I went with a tofu "egg" and spring onion on black pepper rye crisp bread. Then smoked dairy free cheese and pickled onion on lightly salted rye cakes. Then fresh tomato and dairy free feta and cannellini bean dip on carrot and cumin crackers All delicious and all vegan. The protein crisp bread and thins are also really lovely. The tofu egg salad recipe is on my blog, and the dairy free feta and cannellini bean dip recipe is coming out on Saturday I hope your day is going well 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #vegan #lunch #veganlunch #ryvita #ryecakes #crispbread #crackers #carrotandcoriander #tofuegg #eggfree #beandip #cannellini #feta #dairyfreecheese #smokedcheese #saladtomato #cheeseandonion #eggsalad #pickledonions #bethanysvegankitchen

New Recipe - “Chicken” & Vegetable Curry - This simple but hearty curry consists of vegetables, chickpeas and mock chicken in a tomato and coconut milk curry sauce 🍛🍅🥥 Click the link in my bio ⬆️ for the recipe As the weather starts to get cooler, I start to crave warm, comforting meals like this. You can control the spice level though, if hot curry isn't for you, use a mild curry powder. If you like things warmer use a hotter curry powder Serve along with rice, poppadoms or dairy free naan bread. You can choose to replace the “chicken” with more veggies or chickpeas if mock meats aren’t your thing I hope you're having a lovely week 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #curryrecipe #plantbasedcurry #chickenandvegetable #chickenandvegetablecurry #curryrecipe #easycurryrecipes #currychicken #vegancurries #meatfreerecipes #veganrecepies #currysauce #homemadecurry #riceandcurry #plantbasedmeals #coconutmilk #choppedtomatoes #spices #peppers #bethanysvegankitchen

Stir fried vegetables and wholewheat noodles in a spicy black bean sauce. Which I then topped with sriracha to make it more spicy, which was perhaps a mistake 🌶️🤯🍜 Sometimes my good ideas turn out to be bad ideas in disguise 😅 I hope you have a great week 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #veganstirfry #blackbean #sriracha #hotsauce #stirfry #wholewheatnoodles #wholewheat #toohot #friedveggies #veganfood #sesameseeds #blackbeansauce #plantbasedstirfry #easyveganfood #simpleveganfood #noodles #peppers #springonions #bethanysvegankitchen

New Recipe - Creamy Mushroom Carbonara - Spaghetti and mushrooms stirred through a creamy vegan carbonara sauce 🍝🍄🌱This rich, filling pasta dish doesn’t skimp on flavour, yet contains only 350kcal per serving. Click the link in my bio ⬆️ for the recipe Ditching regular cream for a tofu based cream cuts out fat and therefore makes the dish lower in calories. I am still chugging along on my own weight loss journey, so for me, making recipes like this really help me stay on track. I find counting calories to be helpful, which is why I include an approximate estimate of the calorie content of my recipes. A disclaimer; I’m not saying being thin equates to good health, I just personally didn’t want to be obese any longer, and decided to do something about it But this would be lovely if you’re looking for lower calorie food, or simply want a light meal. I hope you have a lovely weekend 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #lowcalorie #lowcaloriemeal #lowcalorierecipe #carbonara #carbonarapasta #dairyfreecarbonara #vegancarbonara #veganpasta #tofucream #tofusauce #mushroomcarbonara #creamypasta #cream #spaghetti #milkfree #pasta #pastarecipe #veganrecipe #recipes #silkentofu #whitemushrooms #dairyfreecream #violife #prosociano #bethanysvegankitchen

Seitan chilli and brown rice, with a bit of fresh salsa too 🍅🌶️🌱 I love making huge batches of chilli, because when you can't be bothered to cook, all you have to do it heat it back up and boil some rice. Easy, quick dinner I hope your Friday is going well 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #seitanchili #chilli #chillinoncarne #meatfreechilli #beans #brownrice #vegandinner #chilliandrice #mockmeat #salsa #freshsalsa #rice #veganchilli #wheatgluten #meatfree #homemademockmeats #veganuk #bethanysvegankitchen
