Cheesy grits, serves 4:
3 cups water
1 cup corn grits
Salt, to taste
0,5 cup soy milk
0,25 cup nutritional yeast
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 large red onion, sliced into half moons
2 vegan burger patties (I used a marinated tempeh patty), cut into bite sized pieces
150 g fresh baby spinach
20 cherry tomatoes, halved
Pepper and more seasoning (simply Organic), to taste
Garlic and herb seasoning (Simply Organic), to taste
Method:
Bring the water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Then turn the the heat to a simmer and whisk in the corn grits. Cook for 4-5 minutes, whisking often. Once the grits have absorbed the water pour in the soy milk and whisk to combine. Take off the heat, add the nutritional yeast and season with salt.
Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the onions until mainly softened. Then add the burger patty pieces and fry them for a few minutes until it gets some colour. Finally add the spinach and season with the pepper and more seasoning. Keep folding the spinach into the other ingredients as it wilts. This will only take a minute or two.
Serve the grits in a bowl and top with the saute. Finish off with a few cherry tomatoes and a sprinkling of garlic and herb seasoning. Enjoy!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Wild rice and mushroom soup, serves 4-6:
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 onion, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
1 large carrot, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
200 g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
100 g oyster mushrooms, split into smaller pieces
1 cup wild rice blend
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried sage
0,5 tsp pepper and more seasoning (Simply Organic)
1,5 vegan "chicken" stock cube (Edward & Sons)
4-5 cups water
0,5 cup vegan cooking cream
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
Salt, to taste
Method:
Heat the avocado oil in a large pot or dutch oven and add the chopped onion, carrot and celery. Season with salt, mix well and cover with a lid to let the vegetables sweat for about 5 minutes on low heat.
Add the minced garlic and saute for another minute. Add the mushrooms and allow them to cook down for about 5 minutes or until they have released a lot of their liquid. Then add the dried herbs as well as pepper and more seasoning and mix well.
Add the rinsed rice and saute for another minute or two as you mix the rice through the vegetables. Finally add the water and stock cubes, mix well and bring the soup to a boil. Turn down to a simmer, cover with a lid and allow to cook for 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Finish off the soup by stirring through the vegan cream and nutritional yeast. Season and enjoy!

I have a suggestion for a future video that I’d personally find really useful, could you do a video of taking us grocery shopping all week?

[@GoodEatings]

Thanks for the suggestion Ajeet, maybe I could do that some time! I did make a grocery shopping video back in January where I explain how we like to grocery shop and take you along to the store plus show you what we got. Maybe that could be up your alley? 😊

[@jeannetteshealthyover50]

I find something so comforting in watching soup be made. That mushroom rice soup looks amazing. Malin I often have your videos playing while I'm preparing dinner. They're relaxing and I really enjoy them, and they help get me into my own little world of cooking.

[@GoodEatings]

I totally agree about soup, everything about it is comforting 😊 So glad you enjoy our videos and find they bring you something quite lovely 🌿 I'm so happy they can do that, thank you for sharing with me!

Mace is a spice. Usually used in baking along with other warm spices like clove, cinnamon, nutmeg & ginger. It comes from the nut covering of nutmeg. Also monkfruit is a sweetener with no bitterness. I’ve used it in baking.

[@AriadneDoCastelo]

Hello there and greetings from Portugal. I have an idea for you to try, with your grits. It's a typical recipe from Madeira island. You cook it with minced garlic and julienne cabbage, then you put it in a tray and let it coagulate in the fridge overnight. Next day you cut it in cubes and fry it. Delicious 😁

[@IsidoraSage]

That mushroom soup looks divine! I am going to have to try it

[@margarett_b]

32:53 I mean, *that plating*! You are truly outdoing yourself!

[@shannonbv13]

Everything looks amazing! The best thing about the colder months is comfort food.

Maise is corn. Lovely recipes. Thank you.

I'm from Texas, and I live in Europe so it's hard to find my favorite foods here and vegan also. Thank you for showing this website, it's very helpful! ❤

[@marendajudkins1262]

I love watching your videos! I learn so much

[@susanclark7872]

Dear Malin, so excited you discovered Bob’s Red Mill and Lumberg rice products. Living in the USA I have been using their products for years and love them. I made a similar grits recipe with roasted mushrooms and tomatoes for dinner last night. My favorite fall winter salad using Lumberg wild rice mix…..cook rice according to package directions, chill rice. I add dried cranberries, toasted almonds, chopped apple and parsley. Dressing walnut oil, a mild vinegar, maple syrup, salt and pepper ….maybe a touch of Dijon mustard. Love your channel!

[@jeanetteruschmeyer6092]

I really enjoy your videos. You have a lovely personality and the food ideas you share are so good. Thank you for inspiring us with healthy and delicious dishes.. I have made several of your recipes and they are very good.

[@sylviadelvallegarcia5231]

Just wanted to shout out a BIG THANK YOU for being you, for your channel and for all the incredible vegan recipes you provide. FYI...tonight I made the Autumnal Pesto Pasta for my vegan family. They went crazy for the pasta dish, saying it was THE BEST dish I have ever made for them. I told them about you and how much I have learned from you about cooking vegan. You are a gift and I so appreciate all that you (and Rob) share. Be well. Much love.

[@GoodEatings]

Thank you kindly Sylvia for your heartwarming message 💛 I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed my recipe, that makes me so happy! So glad I can be an inspiration to you in your cooking, thank you 🤗 Wishing you a lovely day! Much love 🥰

[@Observerka]

I use a little miso paste instead of cheese when making pesto from scratch. Sooo good.:)

[@ashleypollock1]

Enjoyed your rendition of grits Malin, but as a Southerner I will let you know grits and polenta are actually different. Polenta is often yellow corn meal of a medium coarseness. Grits however are made from extremely coarse white hominy- hominy being white corn treated with lye. A very authentic brand to try if you can get your hands on them would be a brand by the name of "Jim Dandy". Just so ya know. 😊

[@GoodEatings]

Thank you Ashley for sharing this insight with me! I will definitely look up Jim Dandy. Maybe I won't be able to find it here but definitely good to know. The texture of the Bobs Red Mill one was definitely different from the polenta we get here in Sweden but it would be lovely to try the traditional variety for sure 😊🌿

[@lindsaytoussaint]

The beautiful way you pronounced Lundberg cannot be unheard 🤩! Also that soup looks fantastic - I haven’t had a mushroom soup in a while. I’ll be making that sometime soon for sure

[@GoodEatings]

Haha, I caught myself pronouncing it in swedish and then realised it's an American brand 😆 Glad it was enjoyable at least! And I'm glad you want to try the soup Linsay, hope you like it 💛

[@teresaschwarz1243]

I grew up in the south and we use Jim Dandy brand. So good!!!

[@leonieduplessis4467]

Mushrooms would be nice with onions and spinach, and enjoy your Green Kiwi fruit🥝

[@satarupabose8793]

Mace is a type of spice. We use it for some special recipes in India. It is basically the sister of nutmeg. It's what covers the nutmeg seed. Also, love the soup....they all look very delicious.

[@womaninreallife]

I agree, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is such a good show! Looking forward to another season.

[@GoodEatings]

Oh me too 😍

[@JessicaSilva-wx4ej]

These dishes look so delicious, I’ll definitely be trying them soon.

[@GoodEatings]

So glad you think so Jessica, thanks! Hope you enjoy when making them 😊

[@ZeroWasteFamily]

I'm a big fan of soups and your mushroom and rice soup looks so comforting

[@shannonduarte1257]

Thanks for the reminder about iHerb. I’ve enjoyed ordering from them, but this time I’ll use your link:) That soup recipe looks so good, can’t wait to make it 💕

[@margarett_b]

6:06 The texture of these grits reminds me a little bit of a dish I used to eat a lot as a kid - Polish "kasza manna" which seems to be pretty much the same concept but based on wheat instead of corn. We usually eat it sweet but I might actually try switching it up and make it savoury the way you prepared grits here! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@elukaya]

Yet another super enjoyable video! You're really one of the persons that actually inspired me a lot to decide a couple weeks ago to give veganism a serious try (I've been vegetarian for 8 years) Starting today, first by ruling out dairy products over the course of November 🤗 Funny I have set my starting date on November the 1st as I had no clue it was world veganism day! Thanks for all the inspo you bring to us in your friendly way 😊 Greetings from France!

[@GoodEatings]

I'm so happy to read you message and that what we do has inspired you 😊 Thank you for sharing with me and wishing you the very best with your transition! If you have any questions feel free to DM me on instagram and I'll try my best to help where I can. I'm sure you've got a good idea of things though having been vegetarian for so long 😊 And it seems it eat meant to be add you choose the world vegan day to start 😍🌿 Big hug from Sweden!

Hi Malin: I’m finding I’m making more and more of your recipes and really love the gluten free recipes. We aren’t gluten intolerant or celiac, but, I have problems with GERD and had surgery to tighten my esophagus because I have Barrett’s (precancer) but still have problems. Anyway I just made the Wild Rice and Mushroom soup. Wow, so delicious! I know you make effort to make things easier for measurements and products which I gratefully appreciate. I’m from the USA and sometimes products aren’t available or measurements can be tricky, but you make it easier. My scale that weighs in ounces or grams also helps. I’m going to make more of your recipes tomorrow. Keep them coming!!!

Yep “sets” is exactly the right word for becoming less of a liquid. “Congealed” has a similar meaning but has implications of maybe not being a good thing.

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Great video Malin and good recipes and food haul. Unfortunately due to my budget I am never going to order from iherb due to the taxes that maybe have to be paid which actually makes the order more expensive than it needs to be. I prefer UK based retailers because of that I don't think we can get grits in the UK. Have a good week and stay safe and well. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Malin & Rob.

Hi Malin! I was wondering if you speak french (I'm from Quebec, Canada).

[@nea4463]

The video was an ad all throughout, I would expect just a segment to constitute the sponsored content as you would usually do instead, which makes it easy to skip over to the non sponsored part and just enjoy your recipes. Your content tho is always remarkable regardless, I will definitely give your mushroom soup a go .

[@pepsinoceline]

I used to order from iherb when i lived in France and I loved it! But, I didn’t have to pay import taxes. Here in Sweden I ordered a few years ago and got lots of taxes so I have never ordered since. Do you know if that has changed? How much does it cost now? I know there were “hacks” working at the time like ordering less than 4 kg etc but I don’t know if those work anymore.

[@GoodEatings]

Yes, it is such a fun site to get some things you can't find here in Sweden. You do have to pay import taxes unfortunately. I'm not exactly sure the percentage at the top of my head but it does still amount to a fairly large sum. I see iherb orders as a fun treat, something I wouldn't do all the time but I recognise it's not the most affordable for us living in countries where we pay the added tax.

[@nancyesposito1020]

I love polenta and grits....and haven't had them in so long! I love your videos they're very soothing and calming for me to watch! And my husband always loves your recipes and he's always resistant to vegan options usually! I'm going to try this soup but one question is there any alternative for the vegan cream most of them here in the US have oils and ingredients were trying to avoid. Any healthier option or is it not going to thicken if I use a plant milk?

[@GoodEatings]

Me too, so satisfying! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the videos and that you're husband likes the recipes too, that's such a lovely review from someone who isn't fully into plant based meals 😊 I think you could use soy milk in place of the cream, it will be slightly different but still yummy 👍
