Recipe of the Week: Vegan Green Eggs and Ham!

Avatar of Ryan-H

Posted March 31, 2011 by Ryan Huling

I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them in a house, with a mouse, here, there, or anywhere.

The vegan version, on the other hand … well that’s a different story.

Yes, with the month of March officially concluding today, I figured I should send our Recipe of the Week “Green” theme off in style, with a dish that can, in fact, be enjoyed in a box, with a fox, in the file, or in any style.

What you’ll need:

  • 1 Tb olive oil
  • 1/2 of a medium-sized onion, chopped into chunks
  • 1 cup of mushrooms
  • 1 pound of tofu (extra-firm), cubed
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional)
  • A handful of fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 bottle of green food coloring
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 package of vegan ham deli slices (available at most grocery stores, and health food stores)

OK, this is super-simple, folks. Basically, you’ll just want to heat your olive oil in a pan, sauté the onions for three minutes, add the mushrooms for another five, add the spices (with a 1/4 cup of water, if it sticks to the bottom), and then stir it all around for a couple minutes. Crumble in the tofu, spinach, and nutritional yeast, stirring it all around for about 15 minutes. Right before you plate it, drop in as much food coloring as you like, until you get the desired color.

Then, just slice up your ‘cado, open the package of veggie ham, and stick a knife in it, because you’re done!

    Looks delicious! I think we should all skip the green food colouring, though. The FDA is studying if it is related to ADHD and other problems at the moment :P

    I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
