    METHOD

    THE LENTILE SAUSAGES
    Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring the lentils and vegetable broth to a boil in a small pot over medium heat. Reduce to medium-low heat, cover, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Place the lentils in a food processor and process until smooth. Pulse until the lentils are slightly broken up but not a paste. Combine the lentils, liquid aminos, maple syrup, onion powder, fennel seeds, paprika, and mustard powder in a mixing bowl.

    Stir in the vital wheat gluten until it begins to bind everything together. Form the mixture into an 1 1/2-inch (3.8 cm) wide tube using a large piece of aluminium foil. Fold the foil over the sausage, tucking it under and pulling it toward you as you wrap it tightly around it. Roll the sausage once more, then twist the ends of the foil to tighten the wrap and compress the sausage together. Place the sausage roll on a baking sheet that has not been lined with parchment paper and set aside while you prepare the vegetables.


    TO MAKE THE ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
    Toss the sweet potatoes, turnips, carrots, and red onion in the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss again. Arrange the vegetables on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Roast the vegetables and sausage for 30 minutes, stirring the vegetables and flipping the sausage after 15 minutes.


    TO MAKE THE FARRO
    While the sausage and vegetables are roasting, bring the farro, water, and salt to a boil in a small pot over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. To put it all together, Separate the farro and roasted vegetables into four bowls. Unwrap the lentil sausage and cut it into 1/2-inch (1.3- centimeter) slices. Divide the sausage among the bowls and top with the Smoky Tahini Sauce. Serve immediately.

    METHOD

    Prepare a hot fire in a grill 190°C/375°F and oil the grill grates. Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it is translucent. Next, add the garlic, jackfruit, oregano, cumin, and coriander, browning the jackfruit with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the jackfruit has shrunk and browned.

    Grill the Anaheim chiles, tomatillos, Serrano chile, and jalapeno. Grill until all sides are charred, then transfer to a plate and cover with a larger plate or a bowl to steam off the skins. Allow the peppers to sit for 5 minutes before removing the skins, stems, and seeds. Purée the tomatillos and peppers with the vegetable broth in a blender until smooth.

    Bring the chile mixture and potatoes to a boil in a large pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, partially covered, for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve garnished with cilantro.
    RECIPE NOTES

    To increase the protein content of this meal, substitute 8 oz. (225 g) steamed tempeh or pressed and cubed tofu in place of or in addition to the jackfruit and prepare it in the same manner as the jackfruit. With the addition of tofu or tempeh, the recipe will no longer be soy-free.

    Sugar: 4.3g
    Sodium: 379mg

    METHOD

    In a small pot, bring the lentils and broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. While the lentils are cooking, cut 8 large leaves from the cabbage's base. Rinse the leaves, then place them in a large pot with enough water to cover them. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a medium-low heat and steam the cabbage leaves for 10 to 15 minutes, or until soft and slightly translucent. Remove with tongs and pat dry with paper towels.

    Once the lentils are cooked, drain the excess liquid and combine them with the remaining ingredients in a food processor (except the cabbage and Quicky Marinara Sauce). Pulse the mixture until it resembles ground meat. If you pulse it too much, it will turn mushy and paste-like.

    In a saucepan, heat the filling mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

    Fill each bowl with two cabbage leaves. Distribute the filling mixture over the leaves, then drizzle with Quicky Marinara Sauce and serve immediately.

    METHOD

    TO MAKE THE CORN BREAD
    Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F and coat the cups of a standard muffin pan with a thin layer of coconut oil.

    Whisk together the flaxseed and hot water and set aside for a few minutes to thicken. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, gluten-free flour, salt, baking powder, and cayenne pepper. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the nondairy milk, corn kernels, melted coconut oil, agave nectar, and flaxseed mixture.

    Fill each muffin cup three-quarters full after folding the wet mixture into the dry mixture until there are no dry clumps. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.

    Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas and onion until the mixture is crumbly but not paste-like.

    Whisk together the Irresistible Ranch Dressing, liquid smoke, and chipotle chile powder until smooth.

    Divide the collards and okra among the four bowls and top with two cutlets and a corn bread muffin. Drizzle each with 1 to 2 tbsp (20 to 40 g) chipotle ranch before serving.
    RECIPE NOTES

    Because it has emulsifying and leavening properties, the liquid drained from a can of chickpeas, known as aquafaba, can be used as an egg substitute in vegan cooking.

    In the summer, there is an abundance of okra. If you can't find it fresh, use frozen. Before roasting, thaw it completely and pat it dry with paper towels.

    Carbs: 18g
    Protein: 15.8g
    Sugar: 5.9g
    Sodium: 548mg

    METHOD

    Preheat the grill to 350oF (180oC) or build a campfire with an indirect heat area over hot coals.

    In a sauté pan, bring 1/2 cup (120 mL) vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat. When the tempeh and yellow onions are soft, add them to the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onions are mostly translucent. To the pan, add the remaining vegetable broth, garlic, tomato sauce, and pecans. Reduce the heat to medium- low, cover, and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.

    Cook until the spinach, green peas, and olives have wilted, about 5 minutes. To taste, season with salt and pepper. Pack the tempeh mixture into the 4 peppers once all of the liquid has been absorbed.

    Wrap each one in foil and grill for 15 minutes—5 minutes on each side of the pepper—or until the pepper is tender and has some grill marks.

    Set the peppers aside for 3 minutes to cool before serving.
    RECIPE NOTES

    Stuff the peppers ahead of time and wrap them in foil to keep them warm. Refrigerated for 4 to 5 days before grilling.

    BEER CAN PULLED CABBAGE

    BEER CAN PULLED CABBAGE

    SERVES 6 SANDWICHES

    FOR THE BEER CAN PULLED CABBAGE
  • Small head of red cabbage
  • 1 can (12 oz., or 355 ml) beer
  • 2 tbsp. (30 ml) reserved (I used an amber ale.)
  • 1 cup (235 ml) vegan barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup (65 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp. (45 g) sriracha or similar chili garlic sauce
  • 2 tbsp. (30 ml) lime juice

    FOR THE ASSEMBLY
  • 1 cup (60 g) shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup (90 g) grated carrots
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) Garlic Mayo or vegan mayo
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 ciabatta or hamburger buns, gluten-free, if necessary
  • 1 tbsp. (5 g) black sesame seeds
  • NUTRITIONAL VALUES

    Calories: 444kcal
    Fat: 15.9g (22.3g S.Fat)
    Carbs: 59.9g
    Protein: 12.8g
    Sugar: 8g
    Sodium: 858mg

    METHOD

    TO MAKE THE BEER CAN PULLED CABBAGE
    Preheat the grill to 400oF (200oC).

    Remove the core from the cabbage and carve out enough cabbage to fit halfway down the beer can. Place the cabbage on top of the beer can that has been opened. In a small mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, peanut butter, sriracha, and lime juice. Keep 1/2 cup (120 mL) aside for serving.

    Brush a layer of sauce all over the cabbage and place it on a stable part of the grill to prevent it from falling over. If the grate is too unstable, place a small, resilient baking sheet underneath the beer can.

    Cook the cabbage for 1 hour on the grill, brushing it with the barbecue sauce mixture every 15 minutes. If your grill has a hot spot, rotate the cabbage every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking. Make the slaw while this is cooking.

    Remove the cabbage and can from the grill once there is some char on the outside and the cabbage is tender. Place the cabbage on a cutting board and cut 1/4-inch (6 mm) slices through it before transferring it to a mixing bowl. Toss the cabbage with the reserved barbecue sauce and beer; set aside until ready to serve.

    In a small bowl, combine the lettuce, carrots, Garlic Mayo, and salt to make a slaw.


    TO ASSEMBLE
    If you want to toast the buns, go ahead and do so. Divide the pulled cabbage among the buns and top with the slaw and black sesame seeds. Serve hot.
    RECIPE NOTES

    To bring this awesome dish to a party, make the barbecue sauce mixture and slaw ahead of time; that way, all you need to bring is a head of cabbage, a beer, a jar of sauce, and your toppings.

    METHOD

    TO MAKE THE CHIMICHURRI PORTOBELLOS
    Preheat the grill to 375oF (190oC).

    In a blender or food processor fitted with an S-blade, combine the cilantro, parsley, oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, and red pepper. Pulse the mixture until it is mostly smooth, and the herbs have been broken up into small pieces.

    Place the portobello mushrooms in a large zip bag or a container with a lid and cut them into 1/2-inch (1.25 mm) slices. Pour the chimichurri sauce over the mushrooms and gently toss to coat evenly. Set them aside for 30 minutes to marinate.

    Grill the portobello strips on both flat sides for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and have visible grill marks. If your grill's grates are too wide, consider using a grill pan.


    TO MAKE THE TACOS
    Warm the corn tortillas for 30 seconds on both sides on the grill to make them pliable. Divide the portobellos among the tortillas, then top with the onions, cilantro, radish slices, and avocado. Serve each taco with a wedge of lemon.
    RECIPE NOTES

    To transport these tacos, leave the mushrooms in the marinade container and combine your toppings in a jar!

    Slice the bread into 1-inch (3-cm) thick slices, leaving the bottom 1/2-inch (1.25-cm) intact. Cut a piece of foil large enough to wrap around the entire loaf and place it in the centre. Fold the foil up against the loaf to form four walls, then pour the coconut milk mixture over the top and between the slices of bread.

    Fold the foil all the way around, crimp the seams, and fold them over again until everything is sealed. Grill the loaf for 10 minutes, then roll it 120 degrees and cook for another 10 minutes, then roll it to the third and final side and cook for 10 minutes more.

    Remove the French toast loaf from the grill and peel away the foil. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with fresh strawberries and pecans. Serve hot.
