Vegan Budget Meals for under 2 Euros/Dollars (healthy & cozy recipes)

[@tiarah6104]

since I now am a broke student I really appreciate every good and cheap vegan recipe! But my go to cozy food would be pasta :)

[@carolinarivera9119]

I couldn't relate more to this comment lol

[@ellyfox]

Italian here, I suggest you try pasta with beans or lentils or chickpeas! Easy, cheap and delicious, I often each these three dishes and they're also part of our food tradition :) the only "problem" is that they need a lot of time to cook (I have a pressure cooker, which reduces the cooking time)

[@rrrrebecca]

@@ellyfox ciao anche tu qui dall'Italia :)

[@ellyfox]

@@rrrrebecca sì ahah ciaoo

[@rh6324]

white rice with red lentils and some curry is also cheap and includs all things ur body needs. boil the white rice in water, boil the lentils seperately the way it says on the package. when they are soft and fall apart add some saltan curry. mix together with the rice. nice, simple and tasty

[@goldfishyum]

Hey Mina! The korean paste you used is actually ssamjang (쌈장) [second row, last two words on the package], which is often used in kbbq where you use a leaf to wrap rice, a protein, kimchi, etc with a tiny dollop of ssamjang. Ssamjang is made of gochujang, the doenjang you were wanting to use, sesame oil, and lots of other ingredients. Doenjang looks like 된장. (I know there's a lot of words on the package lol). Good luck next time! :)

[@Mina_Rome]

Ahh thank you for explaining it! Gonna have a lookout for that one ☝️❤️

[@eatplantsloveanimals]

@@Mina_Rome Another clue is the picture of chilis on the container. Doenjang should really only have soybeans and salt as ingredients. Your pronunciation was excellent by the way!

[@andres-latinveganfood4340]

I buy my Latin food shopping at Lidl also, is surprising how much vegan stuff you can find in this supermarket! Lovely video

A really good vegan snack is toast with hummus and pesto with olive oil, red onion, vegan feta and spices - I usually have paprika, salt and pepper. One time I had some olives laying around and they were good on it, also roasted chickpeas are a great addition. You could probably put anything on it!

[@LDinoise]

My favourite "dish" atm, which is super cheap, fast to "cook" and very simple: I put a little bit of vegetable broth powder, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of miso paste and glass noodles (ramen would also work I think) into a bowl. Then I add boiling water and 1/4 sliced nori sheet to it. If you want to, you can also add some tofu, spring onions or other stuff to it :)

[@carlijnrutten7840]

Great video! I have another challenge for you, cooking on a budget with a grocery list where you use up pretty much everything you buy! Pick up limes did something like this and it was really interesting to see, I think you would come up with some really nice things!!

[@a_Hooded_Figure]

If you have not yet seen it: give 'Budget Eats' with June a try. It is just what you said: one big food haul (mostly on a budget) and then using it all up over a week. Not always vegan, but hella creative and extremly low waste. :)

Will definitely try the pasta bake, even though I never did a pasta bake and I'm not even sure I like them 😅. I also wanted to point out that cauliflower leaves are edible (and good) so especially when I'm doing any cauliflower recipe where you blend it, I throw the nice looking leaves in with the flowers.

Zuppa Toscana (or Ribollita): leak and carrots with some oil in a pan. Add black kale, tomato sauce, salt, beans, a but if water and Chili flakes. Finish everything with old bread or potatoes or left over pasta. Super easy, low budget and perfect for these cold almost winter evenings.

[@Mina_Rome]

Ah sounds so Interesting! I‘ve never heard of black kale before 👀

[@LaTuM]

@@Mina_Rome It's quite common in Italy, but you can use savoy cabbage, it works fine as well (I tried lots of times 😜)

[@chrisschneider1746]

Tried the pumpkin gnocchi - we're veggie not vegan, so added some butter at end, and grated a bit of cheese over top. It was good - and provided the motivation to tackle a pumpkin. It wasn't as bad to peel and cube as I had thought it'd be. Gotta watch the salt as you cook, it's super easy to oversalt when using veggie bouillon, and the sauce condenses as you finish up, making it even saltier.

Ich habe deinen Channel vor ein paar Tagen entdeckt und finde deine Videos klasse! Mir ist dein Tofu aufgefallen. Kenne bisher nur den "firm tofu" in Deutschland. Woher bekommst du den Semi Firm Tofu? 😊 Und, falls du mal in eine neue Pfanne investieren musst oder möchtest, kann ich die Pfannen von Hoffmann absolut empfehlen! Sie sind leider etwas teurer, haben aber den riesen Vorteil, dass man sie für wenig Geld wiederbeschichten lassen kann falls die Beschichtung mal nicht mehr so gut ist. Das ist dann doch wieder gut fürs Budget und spart Ressourcen. 😃 (ich bekomme übrigens nichts von Hoffmann, bin nur einfach total begeistert von meiner Pfanne die ich fast täglich im Einsatz habe 😅)
