Vegan day 230: Triple veggie protein stew
Well.. I’m not sure if it’s a stew, a grain mix or a saute! In any case, it was delicious and full of vegetarian… I mean VEGAN lol.. protein! What’s the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan..? lol
THE WHOLE ENTIRE DAIRY INDUSTRY– farce, manipulation and torture.. that’s all! Unfortunately for the fish.. I would sooner be a non-dairy eating pescetarian. Actually, I was torn for many years so I won’t even go there. Anything anyone can do to eat better for themselves, the environment and the animals is the place to begin.. and strive for.
My friends like to torture me on facebook from time to time with their anti-vegan not-so funny jokes. It seems they keep gravitating to two in particular. The “where do you get your protein” debate… yawn yawn – and the “vegetarians are killing plants” joke.. again.. tiring, as plants do not have a central nervous system. My very short answer to both since I have probably addressed both issues in this blog or on my facebook page: (1) protein is over emphasized, the “requirements” are over exaggerated and the sources continuously overlook vegetarian and vegan choices. (2) when wildcrafting, one should never take the entire plant… just part of it. The next problem comes down to industry. Obviously big industry can ruin anything..
Today is about protein though.. not on purpose but I accidentally stumbled upon this creation since it was what I had in my refrigerator and my friends were in the mood for a warming nutritious meal.
- Quinoa – check one of my previous blogs for links on how to make the perfect quinoa. It’s been so long since I made it that I even had to check!
- Organic black soy beans– looks like red kidney beans right? Any beans will do!
- Firm ORGANIC tofu- (pet peeve lol: it’s one thing to not have an option for organic in a local deli or small market but to go to a farm stand or place that sells many organic foods and NOT have that option is unacceptable lol) ONLY BUY ORGANIC TOFU (for reasons of GMO)
- Onions
- Tomatoes
- Basil
- Cilantro
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Olive Oil
- Some water to create a small broth base
