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

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
