Vegetarian Sauerkraut

I love sauerkraut! I always loved sauerkraut but since my mom recipe includes ham, italian sausages and bacon, I had to make my own recipe. A recipe that is veggie and healthy!


Ingredients

• 1 lb sauerkraut, rinsed
• 1 onion, minced
• 3 ts olive oil
• 1 cup white wine (or beer)
• 2 apples, diced
• 10 juniper berries
• 3 dried cloves
• 250 ml vegetables broth
• 454 g tofu, diced and marinated in salted water
• 6 tofu sausages
• 6 potatoes, cooked

First, cook the onion in a big pan with the olive oil. Add the sauerkraut and cook for 5 minutes. Add the white wine, juniper berries, cloves and apples and the broth. Cook for 2 hours at medium. Add the tofu and the sausages and cook for another hour. Add the potatoes 15 minutes before serving.

First of all, you have to prepare all the ingredients (cut the veggies, sautéed the tofu). Then cook the mushrooms, onions and garlic with the oil in a large pan sauce.

Add the red wine to deglaze the pan and add the other ingredients. Cook for 15 minutes.

Tofu "steak"

Excellent on the barbecue, tofu "steak" is easy to cook and only required to marinate a few hours.

Lentil Shepherd's Pie

It is like the same old shepherd’s pie recipe but without the meat ! Really good and quite simple! Lentils are really good and contain proteins, vitamin B and iron. They contain no fat and help lower cholesterol. They also are cheaper than meat!

Thai seitan

It is not that easy to eat proteins when you don’t eat meat. However, this easy recipe with seitan has good proteins since it contains peanut butter. The recipe was inspired

Sesame tofu

This sesame tofu recipe is really good! The dipping sauce can be kinda weird with anything else but because of the sesame surounding the tofu, it taste really good together!

Quinoa and Tofu Stir-Fry

Here is a really healthy recipe with quinoa and tofu. Quinoa has proteins and iron so you don’t need to eat meat when you eat it. You can find it at the grocery store, usually with the rice or with the lentils and beans.
