Vegan day 263: Coconut meat paella

After this Instagram post and a little dialogue, the results were chicken, pasta, fish, seafood paella, thai food and chow fun. One person actually said coconut meat and wheat berries.. that’s a yummy idea too! I was leaning towards it looking like fish.

For me: it looks like fish, feels like fish, cuts like fish however, it does’t smell like fish nor does it taste like fish and the best part – it does’t have a central nervous system. I went from naming it a vegan seafood paella to vegan paella and ended up with coconut meat paella. That’s pretty much what it was. The brown rice here was sprouted brown rice that I had on hand thrown into a light stir fry. Other ingredients: olive oil, coconut oil, coconut meat, onions, sweet peppers, sliced portabella, thinly sliced zucchini, asparagus, shoyu, lime and spices.
