3 EASY Vegan Dump & Go CROCK-POT Dinners

[@christimorgret7818]

My instant pot pie customization involves enough mushrooms to choke a hobbit, but I get that might not be kid friendly for dinner. All of these look delicious!

[@spicyavo3929]

I will never understand people who don’t love mushrooms as much as I do lol😂

[@plantwhys]

I love mushrooms! I definitely should have added them!

[@christimorgret7818]

@spicyavo3929 my parents had some strict "try everything" rules with one exception. I started to turn up my nose at a bowl full of sautéed mushrooms, and, as one, they said, "Good! More for us!" Changed my mind right quick. 😃

[@spicyavo3929]

[@kettlebops4271]

"Choke a hobbit" 😆

[@Jessica-jm7ql]

I made the curry tonight. The only changes I made was sautéing the onions and cut the salt in half. Best curry I’ve ever made. Absolutely delicious. Will make again and again.

[@plantwhys]

Yay!!! I’m so glad!! Love the tips!

[@happycook6737]

For the first recipe, the spices will taste so much better if you toast them in a frying pan for a few minutes in a little oil.

[@TheRubeeRose]

Yes, I'm with you crockpot meals for the win, however I use a thermal cooker instead (I'm a solo traveller)

[@TKCTSTN]

To me, summer is the best time to use my slow cooker. Living in the hot, humid south, I avoid anything that heats up the kitchen in the summer. Looking forward to trying these!

[@staceysappenfield7806]

This is genius! I super appreciate this, because I usually have to make 2 Dinners, one for me and one for the meat eater. Usually I never end up cooking for me. Thanks so much!

[@kirstenredfield8216]

I'm in the same boat I hate when that happens!! 😡 It's hard but take care of yourself!!

[@Kayte...]

Seriously? What are you making they won't eat or don't like? I can't imagine a WFPB meal that a meat eater wouldn't love.

[@kirstenredfield8216]

My husband will eat the wfpb but if he goes too long without meat he starts complaining and being all whiny 😂 I try to just add a portion of meat to his serving of whatever I'm having but if it doesn't work out that way sometimes I run out of steam to cook myself anything after cooking for him, I also have two picky kiddos aged 2 and 4 and usually I have to make them separate things too just to get them to eat 🥴

[@DanaDeeBee]

Omg. Same here! By the time I've done so much work on the meat meal I'm just too burned out to make another entirely different veggie meal. Then I usually just make myself a sandwich 😞

[@kirstenredfield8216]

[@taylorward2920]

These recipes look great! I'm wondering if soy curls would work in place of the jackfruit because they also have the texture of chicken and taste amazing! If you're wanting future ideas a video of soy curl recipes would be so awesome 😎

[@plantwhys]

Oh my gosh, that is brilliant! I need to try it for next time!! And great idea about experimenting more with soy curls!

[@imgadgetmanjim]

I have eaten jackfruit curry and consistency is very similar to chicken. Edit: I would be just as happy with soy.

The marinara sauce ruined it for me. I couldn't tase anything but that. I used exactly 2 cups. I think just adding a bit of tomato paste would have been better. The cashew cream didn't save it either.

[@blairseibert1778]

Thank you so much. I have lots of cans of Jack Fruit that someone gave me. I wasn't sure what to do and knew it didn't have protein. You came to the rescue!

[@plantwhys]

Yay! It is really yummy! And amazing how much it looks and feels like chicken!

[@greenagervegancookingwithm6429]

LUCKY you - Trader Joe's just recently discontinued Jackfruit! Try doing Pulled Pork with Jackfruit - YUM!

[@tlopez5821]

Thanks for sharing these recipes. I tried your take on tikka masala and sauteed the onions and aromatics prior to adding to the crockpot, which I believe really helped the flavors develop. Keep the ideas coming!

[@plantwhys]

Great idea!!!

[@thesylvan]

Traditional Indian cooking often calls to toast the dry spices and seeds. It amps up the flavors a bunch. Since marrying an Indian and my mother-in-law teaching me that step, I’ve used it with a bunch of different cuisines. That being said, I think I’d be relegated to sleeping on the couch if I used marinara to make tikka masala. 😅

[@esullie]

@@thesylvanwhat do you think might be a good alternative to the marinara sauce?

[@tlopez5821]

Try adding better than chi'ken bullion. It can give a very chickeny flavor. Also you could add BBQ sauce and better than beef bullion for a BBQ Brisket type sandwich.

I don’t like cashews. Do you have to put nuts in it? Do you have to use the maple syrup in there and applesauce in the wheat rolls? I don’t like sweet, hot rolls, and a lot of the restaurants have started adding a lot of sugar to their hot rolls and they are awful to me. Thank you.

Did I hear correctly that you put a table spoon of salt in the rolls? Does that make them salty or do you need more salt due to lack of oil.

[@CitiesForTheFuture2030]

Ooooo - I love one pot recipes & stews (yum!).... and I have an InstaPot! Tx for the tip re boullion paste. I found a fab recipe on YT and now I have fresh boullion paste in my freezer ready for soups & stews etc - another thing I don't need to buy at the store! Re the "chicken" pot pie: if one wanted to put pastry on top (or even mash potato for a herbivore pie vs shepherds pie) would the two cook together or would you cook the veggie part first then pop the pastry on top and bake in the oven? I really do enjoy a pastry periodically. These are very helpful - thank you. More please. I do see via your playlist that you do have some international flavoured recipes - looking forward to exploring those. There's a Mesopotamian restaurant near us. They serve a great set menu (starters, mains & dessert), with a belly dance show on the weekends. It's a great evening out. I actually subscribe to a few Turkish cooking channels that offer great low cost vegetarian ideas, usually with potato (I think I eat potatoes most days).
