Vegan Rice a Roni Spicy Spanish Rice

-
A few flavors of rice a roni that I know of, are vegan. Spanish and Fried Rice I believe. Herb and Butter is vegetarian. Or so it reads as vegetarian from the ingredients list. This simple recipe uses the spanish flavor and some canned jalapeno tomatoes to make a spicy and sweet delicious vegan meal quick and easy. 1 box rice a roni spanish rice 1 can jalapeno diced tomatoes 1 can pinto beans 1/4 cup frozen broccoli 1/2 cup frozen collard greens (mustard greens, kale or spinach are okay too) 1 tsp olive oil Add the specified amount of water to a pot according to rice a roni direction. Ignore the junk about sauteing first. Just add the called for amount of water, your 1 tsp olive oil, the seasoning packet and the rice to a medium sized pot. Cover and set on high to bring to a boil. When it comes to a boil lower heat to maintain a good simmer. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Add broccoli, greens, beans and tomatoes. Continue to simmer covered on medium low heat. Stirring every

Update: my mistake. vigo rice contains dehydrated chicken. don't know how i missed that the first time around. but i found a carolina yellow saffron rice that was animal and dairy free. the spicy yellow is not vegetarian. but the saffron yellow is vegetarian/vegan. i also learned mahamtma rice is the same as carolina rice. different branding depending on your location. visit their website for more detailed info on ingredients. you can quickly look up the nutritional info and ingredients of any of their products. http://www.carolinarice.com/en-us/products/categories/15/RiceMixes.aspx also go to the mahatma site. http://www.mahatmarice.com/en-us/products/categories/2/RiceMixes.aspx notice how it is the same as the carolina one. one brand for the east coast, the other for the west i would guess. The other day I was browsing amazon for vegan food. Rice mixes in particular because I love flavored rice, but do not love buying lots of expensive spices. What I was really cravi

Creamy Vegan Cauliflower Tofu Habanero Puree

Most cauliflower purees use milk or cream. This vegan cauliflower puree recipe uses tofu to replace the cream. The result is a velvety texture. And since tofu carries other flavors so well, everything really pops.  While you could make cauliflower puree with a plant milk, I think tofu is far superior. It's thicker, creamier and carries flavors better. Tofu is the best vegan cream substitute I've found.  As long as you add enough salt and fat, it's just as good, in my opinion, even better than, using actual cream.  Ingredients 1/3 of a large head of cauliflower, cut into smallish florets 1/2 block soft/silken tofu, plus 2 tbls packing liquid 3 cloves garlic, chunked 1 habanero, deseeded, chunked 2 tbls olive oil 3 tbls nutritional yeast 1 tbl white vinegar 2 1/2 tsps salt In a medium sauce pot simmer the tofu + liquid, cauli, garlic, habanero and oil. Simmer covered until all the veg are tender. About 15 minutes.  Turn off the heat and leave the pot covered on the stove to r
