Popular Recipes
This is a traditional dish in many countries in Latin America as well in other places. The original version almost always has beef, therefore, contains lots of bad cholesterol. By using chickpeas and vegetables, this vegetarian version provides plenty of protein and fiber, as well as excellent taste and texture.
Perhaps the most traditional dish in El Salvador, pupusas have reached international popularity. They are usually filled with cheese, pork rinds or refried beans and served with tanned cabbage and tomato sauce. For this healthy version we use vegan cheese to reduce both the amount of calories and saturated fat, although they can also be filled with red or black “flipped” beans, which can be prepared without fat.
You probably read “Thousand Island Dressing” and immediately thought of salads. Well, California is home to an world-famous burger shop called In ‘N’ Out. They make simple burgers—toasted bun, burger, tomato, lettuce, onion, etc.—but they also slather on a generous amount of Thousand Island Dressing instead of ketchup and mustard. I say all of this to tell anyone who’s tried and loved this burger that you can recreate this burger at home, but with all plant-based ingredients! This Thousand Island dressing is completely vegan (as long as you get vegan Worchestershire sauce) and is great on burgers, sandwiches, as dip, and of course, on salads.
