€2 VEGAN CHRISTMAS DINNER | THE HAPPY PEAR

[@zwiesland]

You honestly have me tearing up: thinking of people who are on a budget for Christmas - that's the spirit! Being alone on Christmas and on a budget, having something nice like this, really makes a difference! I made your Wellington in past years and it was such a highlight.

[@KentuckyChicken2]

this exact Wellington recipe? :)

[@zwiesland]

@@KentuckyChicken2 No, the other one from two years ago. It is quite similar.

[@Prancer4799]

As a broke student with no blender, thank you so much

[@thehappypear]

Listen Moo, no bother!! 😂😂

[@DDios-ih9de]

Ask around use a friends.

[@DDios-ih9de]

Get a cheap used one at garages sales thrift shop's a few bucks

[@factitiously]

Honestly, you guys have helped so much with getting my parents more plant based! We grew up in Ireland and live in the US now ... However, I could show my mum a million American KZbin recipe videos and nothing registers, but I show her one video with you guys and she's running out to buy everything to make the recipe!!! I send her all your videos now 😀 It really helps that you do the budget ones too, cuz Irish mammys can be real cheap, lol.

[@thehappypear]

That’s so cool to hear!! Thanks so much for sharing the love. Hopefully your Mam will like our next level Christmas Main, haha. ❤️❤️

[@evelynbaron2004]

Totally!!!!!!! Hard time of the year, and sometimes brilliant. Best wishes.

[@mimalesch5809]

Looks great. You can just mix up the flour with some cold water before putting it in the gravy so you won't have to deal with the lumps of cooked flour.

[@vkgreer100]

or use a whisk, if you have one - great for removing lumps from white sauce too.

[@zabelconnor]

A jug full of maple! Glorious sight.

[@TheMollyUnderhill]

If you can afford in add vegan red wine to the gravy, it makes it so special and tasty. If your in the UK most of Sainsbury own brand is vegan (just check the label) and pick up bottle for £5.

[@MariliaMDiniz]

So I just prepared this whole meal for our Christmas dinner. It was amazing! I love how everything gets done at the same time, and in one hour we had all dishes on the table. Thank you sooo much for sharing, it was indeed delicious and super filling!

[@rjahood2473]

how was the wellington? im tempted but the cous cous is putting me off haha

[@dominikamyszczynska5782]

That will be my first vegan christmas and thats how i imagined it :)

[@georginaadams4826]

Me too 😍

[@hemmyhardingfela]

mine too this year!

[@Allioops810]

Thanks! I’m going to make the wellington. Maybe I will add some lentils.

[@kayself1891]

Great idea! :D

[@DavidHernandez-oc1oz]

Excellent idea to add some protein! Plus it would be very tasty too.

[@heytheregeorgeygirl]

I love that you always nibble as you go along and then enjoy the prepared dish at the end. Just like the rest of us!

[@RiaLake]

Made this wellington a few times now but previously used rice or potatoes instead of cous cous and sometimes a different variety of vegetables, always good. This year I used the onions/garlic/carrots/parsnip base with roasted swede, lightly sauteed, mashed chick peas, chestnuts, roasted cashews and walnuts in shortcrust pastry. Best ever. Thank you.

[@nopenope8380]

Actually love the way you guys offer suggestions of alternatives for allergies, saves me time googling to see what I can swap in. My Christmas wishlist this year consists solely of an ecoegg, lush products and your cookbook.

[@colinr.turner]

You guys are literally changing the world, one bowl at a time. Congratulations!

[@artgalore8202]

Looks fantastic as usual. Also, as a side note, with the gravy you can do the oil, add onion, then add flour, Stir and THEN add broth or water and seasoning. That way you NEVER have to strain the flour clumps out. They completely dissolve. If it needs to be thicker, mix flour and cold water mixed well in a cup and add it slowly to the already made gravy, while it's still simmering, until it gets as thick as you want it. Gravy is one of my specialties. 😊😊😉. Love all of your recipes!!! 👍🏼

[@sarahstrong7174]

Oh no! I thought this looked great & wanted to try it but I havent got a twin to help me shape the pastry so I suppose thats it then. They should have said you needed a twin right at the beginning!

[@AdrienneAce2]

Sarah Strong, you don't need a twin to help shape the pastry. You just need four hands instead of two! Thumbs up on your comment.

[@sarahstrong7174]

@@AdrienneAce2 Ah well. Thats ok then, just as soon as I find the second-hand shop I'll be fine.

[@hopegold883]

Not just the pastry. I just need kitchen twin. Has to be a twin, not a helper. Explaining takes too long.

[@chevrandyw4903]

It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, and it’s on a budget!..I’m not crying *sniff*.

[@divinelevinevegan3258]

I love you guys! I made this meal today and it was BEYOND delicious. I made it with a gluten free vegan puff pastry (with my proprietary blend of "flour") and homemade vegan butter. Cheers!

[@keshastickland2933]

This is our first vegan Christmas too and I’m cooking for a family of 5! Really wanted to make it special, but couldn’t figure out how till I found this video! I already made a veggie loaf and stuffing ahead (frozen now), but now I think I’ll turn the roast into a Wellington by wrapping it in dough. Then add the yummy looking carrots and cabbage as sides. Thanks for the next level ideas guys!

[@LishaJoya]

Greetings my Vegan Brothers! This is perfect especially since finanances has been very tight as of late. This is going to be a fun one to try with my son (who is vegetarian) but is also LOVING vegan dishes even more! I would love to try to cook this with my son. You guys have encouraged me to cook more with him and now he is in love with tamari! heheheheeee. AND he is making ME food for work that is vegan! (im so happy) I have to ask though....what paper do you use in the oven with the wellington? I also have the challenge of only having a toaster oven as an oven for the regular oven we have is broken. One day, can you try to bake things in a toaster oven for those that have "oven challenges"? Much love! ♥ lishajoya

[@emmat2086]

“Ho ho ho DUDES!” I want to be better than this but it really made me laugh 😂

[@jeanneamato8278]

Beautiful! Just like you dudes. Bless you. 🎄❤️🙏

[@marysibb]

Parrots or carsnips lol lol lol. You guys are so sweet.

[@hopegold883]

Parrots

[@that1monk]

2021! Oh my goodness, this is very inspiring no matter which year! Thanks guys. 🎄💗

[@cesarmejia1900]

Suggestion, if you dissolve the flour in a little bit of cold water before adding it to the gravy, you don't have to strain the gravy afterwards ... Great recipes, can't wait to try them.

[@bbyrooo]

Not only was this frugal and simple, but it also doesn't take as long it seems. No more slaving away for a week straight

[@HappyMonkey11]

Watching one brother cook: nice! Vegan food. Accidentally discovering them cooking together: THERE'S TWO OF THEM!? the happiest day of my life so far 🤩❤️ their cookbooks are smashing! Highly recommend.

[@schmiddysartstuff7148]

I love your channel, men! You are top notch food angels. Please never stop bringing your creative gifts to us. I'm poor as dirt 😁 lol-- so I appreciate all you do to show us that we can eat well for our bodies using natural options-- and still do our part for our planet-- EVEN if we are on a budget. I want you to know we APPRECIATE all the goodness you impart! 💛⭐🌛🌞✌💛

[@Lola-Yo]

At what stage can we freeze this ahead of time please? Edit....I froze the whole thing with the raw pastry, it cooked fine. I also made mini sausage type rolls, cooked them first then froze them, they were fine defrosted and warmed through!

[@riley9663]

Just the uncooked Wellington. the rest will have to be done on the day X

[@CSWRB]

Watching these two makes me wish I had a twin. ♥️

[@zw7719]

I've been a subscriber for at least 3 years now. This video made me question why I don't watch you guys more! Well Done!!!

[@kateanderson3560]

Just finished our vegan Christmas Wellington! Thanks for some fantastic recipes that made my omnivorous parents happy without the meat. ❤️

[@joancahill6175]

Hi guys love your channel ; really enjoying all the menus; thank god for you two; as a nurse ; born in Dublin, now a nurse in Melbourne Australia; where we are going into lockdown again; your meals are so easy and quick which is a bonus for me 🇦🇺❤️💙☘️☘️☘️

[@bigsweet6472]

I had to work on Thanksgiving last year, so I made this to take to work to share with my coworkers and everyone loved it even though they were not vegetarian. Thanks guys!

[@helenmarshall7594]

Chestnuts'd be nice in the Wellington too...

[@sarahstrong7174]

Good idea! +A few cranberries?

[@josianedalcourt8220]

you are fabulous making fabulous vegan xmas meals!!!! thank you !!!!!

[@mlgorey1331]

Omg I made this pie today. Gosh its massive and delicious and would feed an army. And yes the gravy ( which I'd never normally use) was great too. I started with the pie allowing the ingredients to cool before wrapping in pastry then put all in the oven together. I hope it freezes after cooking theres a lot here. Happy new year to you both and thank you very much for all your inspiration

[@steveshepherd333]

That looks delicious ... thanks for sharing your recipe ... Merry Christmas to you both .... Steve U.K. 🎄

[@lifeofaimee6259]

OMG guys you are really taking it to a new level with the budget meals - great job!

[@claudiasc5871]

this video is just so much fun!

[@jimking6484]

Must comment on this recipe. It’s great. I saw you guys on the Netflix Someone Feed Phil. It was fantastic seeing you guys.

[@patriciavincent5076]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing the love brothers!❤️🕊🎄🌞

[@hannahsmith5947]

Looks incredible!

[@finestadversary2060]

I've watched this so MUCH!!! I will make this for this xmas. I'm looking forward to it now 🤗 I think ye have converted me with the cabbage as well, a bit of green needed on the day 😋

[@adembasou-JesusLebtUndRettet]

Two of the most Handsome AND Kind Guys on the Planet imho. Much obliged.

[@suginami123]

Gorgeous food

[@Christinaslovely]

You guys are absolutely glorious vegan 🙌🏼. I'm definitely going to be trying that for Christmas. Looks very good!

[@aliciav4352]

Looks delicious and very do able!! I'm seriously going to try this!!!

[@loriwilliams2167]

That is a beautiful looking meal. Thanks so much guys. Trying to get my kids to see that vegan can be yummy! Will definitely try this. Happy Holidays 🌲❤

[@Julie31596]

This looks so appetising! As I'm a 'Yorkshire lass' I feel the need to add some delicious chickpea/plainflour aquafaba Yorkshire Puddings. i can send the recipe xxx

[@IvanIV05]

I wonder how would mushroom work in the centre of that Wellington.

[@cameronschotter3545]

terrific, they normally make it the base of their wellingtons

[@sarahstrong7174]

Yum! Sounds great to me. Just let me know where & when & I'll be there.

[@MrsTabamon]

I added mushrooms instead of chestnuts and it was fantastic! :) (they recommended chestnuts in their previous wellington video)

[@cynthiaking2153]

IvanIV05 I was thinking the same thing, only problem I foresee is mushrooms put off a lot of liquid, so you might want to add four to the mushroom mixture to dry it out, a soggy Wellington would not be good.

[@IvanIV05]

@@cynthiaking2153 I think if you fry them in oil on a high heat, they'll release the liquid, let it evaporate and get some colour on them and they won't make the pastry soggy. If you check out Gordon Ramsay's Wellington recipe he does something similar with the mushroom filling.

[@deidrejohnson]

Wow guys this looks amazing. You are making me change my mind about xmas lunch. I will be the only vegan at my family dinner this year. Think this wellington will knock their socks off. Could I use pptato instead of parsnip? We dont really get parsnips here in cape town

[@TheMollyUnderhill]

Maybe try sweet potato instead, as the parsnip (I guessing) are more for the flavour then the starch.

[@85Captain]

You just gave me two tablespoons of inspiration for what to cook these days:) Thank you people so much!

[@AA-hy6nb]

Perfect meal!

[@bobtewes1918]

Thx! Christmas Dinner planned! Amazing

[@bethanydavison5426]

This is amazing. I'm gonna do something similar next year. The store bought alternatives here in canada are $5+ alone, this would be so helpful and help me stay under budget. Definitely keeping this in mind for Ostara (Easter)

[@johnbgriffinjr116]

Excellent!!!! That spot of maple syrup with the 🌶 in the cabbage looks like an absolute winner. Can’t wait to spring that on my vegan friends!!!! Thank you!

[@Mrmuffinlol]

Thank you guys!

[@kaleflower2319]

Great move for folks on a budget!

[@themis3396]

Thank you! 💚🎄🎄🎄

Alguien en español 😁I love guys happy pear

[@GezButterworth]

Amazing! I can’t wait to try this, thank you so much. I’m new to living plant based, I can’t eat nuts, when you say replace with seeds, I’m wondering if you mean things like hemp and flax seeds? Great to find you both on KZbin. Best wishes from north west England. Gez

[@karenn8260]

Filling for that with mushrooms and onions here.

[@3timeslucky566]

I wanted to put my hand through the screen to taste it lol it looked amazing...TFS , for a no nonsense approach to cooking, hope you guys have a great Christmas 🤗🤗🤗

[@Equinox1.5]

In one of the Fit For Life books (might have been the second one, the recipe book) Marilyn Diamond had a great recipe for maple-glazed carrots. I am not a carrot fan at all but her recipe was delicious.

[@kalo924]

Very nice!

[@deborahmac1997]

Really great menu.😋

[@heytheregeorgeygirl]

Looks absolutely delicious, I'll definitely have a go at that.

[@133-k8u]

You guys constantly have colds, constantly sniffing. We all get them. Good stuff guys, Hope everyone has a great Christmas dinner

[@kennethfelipe823]

This looks amazeballs. I am totally going to use that pastry on my stuffing and see if it works out. You guys always give me great ideas. Happy Holidays.

[@norrishclan]

Looks fab I might addsome pomegrante seeds to the filling just to make it more festive ;)

[@bridgetcarr1236]

Thanks very much

Wow that dish looks divine 😍 can’t believe you managed such a tasty vegan dish for so cheap. Merry Christmas
