HOT, ROASTED, GRILLED, JUICY & VEGAN
Who doesn’t like a good nasi? You can buy easy pre-cut veggies in your supermarket, but it’s much more fun and flavourful to cut the veggies yourself. This dish will be amaaaaaazing with the saté sauce from our MAN.EAT.PLANT. book. Did you get your hands on a copy already?

Remember those old school jacket potatoes? Well we freshened the recipe up a bit. This version is made with sweet potatoes and delish as F*CK. Healthy and porn food at the same time. They take some time to bake in the oven, but the actual making time is hardly 10 minutes. Perfect for those old school lazy days. Eat as a snack or serve as a meal with panfried garlic broccoli or a luscious green salad, like this one.

In our book we already gave you a version of a badass cauliflower roast. We are such big fans of this dish, that we had to give you another recipe. If you still eat animal products, remember there is always a better veg option around. Like this one. This cauli roast is as versatile as roast chicken, and there are just as many possibilities when it comes to seasoning. This one is a sort of mediterranean version. Perfect with roasted potatoes, garlicky button mushrooms and haricots verts or a nice salad. Also wonderful by itself with some tahini sauce. Tips for this recipe were given to us by a wonderful neighbour from Tel Aviv. He used to eat this dish on the streets of his home town.

Who wants to be in a hot kitchen above steaming pans during this kind of heat? We’d rather be outside in the shadows, grilling the hell out of all the wonderful plant stuff we can grill. No dead bodies for us! So yeah whilst enjoying a cold beer and a refreshing breeze try these eggplant dogs. They are tasty AF and a real crowd pleaser!

These steaks are super juicy and melt in the mouth. There’s a slight but certain hint of umami in a melon, and by grilling or roasting it, the umami becomes more pronounced. Simple and good. Perfect for summer BBQ’s too!

Stamppot is a decent, no-fuss Dutch food. Mashed potatoes with any veggie of your choice. WE LOVE IT.
MAN.EAT.PLANT. has one brutal, but super simple version to share with you; classic mashed potatoes with endive. But wait, this one probably tastes nothing like you remember from the good old days or ever had before. This is a 2019 way of eating a classic dish transformed to the new era and that normally was eaten with something that we cannot seem to remember, but we replaced anyway with this crispy, savoury, smoky, bacon-style tofu.

Seitan is so versatile and your perfect companion if you’re planning to make something extraordinary and pompous, like this brisket style chunk of wheaty goodness. By cooking it for a really long time, and using some acidity in the cooking liquid, the seitan changes texture wise on a molecular level, which makes it way easier to digest, and more delish too. Perfect dramatic centrepiece for Sunday brunches or dinner parties. Serve with a light, green salad.

Oh lala these tacos just rock and definitely have some latin temperament! Intensely seasoned and slow roasted jackfruit (young and ripe, that’s the secret to perfect tasting ‘pulled jackfruit meat’) makes this dish taste absolutely sensational. A crowd pleaser for sure. THE go-to Friday night dinner for a great start of the weekend.

Fab what? Fab yolk. We just made up this new word to describe the fabulous dressing that brings this dish together, inspired by egg yolks, but made from butter bean aquafaba. It’s freakingly scrumptious, especially with asparagus! Give it a try and find out yourself :).
…
Have you ever heard of Fistulina Hepatica, a.k.a. beefsteak mushroom? This some amazing shit. A fungus that looks exactly like a succulent steak. It even bleeds! The texture is tender and juicy. You can find it on farmers markets or ask a local mushroom forager about it. If you can’t get your hands on one, use portobello mushrooms instead. Perfect alongside Parisian potatoes and a nice green salad or cooked green beans.
