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.

MODERATORS

3 - 4 cups Basmati rice

2 tbsp water

2 tbsp oil

1 tsp turmeric

Saffron steeped in 1 - 2 tbsp water (I microwave a shot glass 3/4 full with water and add the turmeric to steep)

1/4 cup (4 tbsp) Oil and 1/4 cup water

Sabzi (Greens) - Lightly fry Dill, Parsley, Cilantro and Green onion tops until aroma comes out, add frozen string beans and lima beans with 1 tbsp hot water (precut, saves time; I can't tell the flavor difference) until less icy and mix with rice. Add salt.

Addas (Lentil and Raisins): Boil brown lentils in water about 20 - 25 minutes until tender, rinse. Sautee finely onion in some oil with turmeric and salt (cinnamon optional, I like it mom hates it) until translucent, add lentils and raisins and toss to coat. Mix with rice

Gojeh (Tomato): Fry chopped onions with salt and turmeric until translucent, add 1 can crushed tomatoes and 1 - 2 tbsp tomato paste and cook until reduced a little bit, maybe 8 - 10 minutes tops stirring constantly. Add frozen string beans and peas to defrost; mix with rice
