most Ghanaian dishes are pretty easy to adapt. I've lived here for the past 8 years and we eat mainly local dishes just adapted. Palava we just do without the fish as you have the protein in the agushi, waakye too is delicious as is with stew, gari and salad (or kontomire) as the beans have the protein but you can always add some tofu in the side (easy to get in Accra or the north but harder elsewhere)...we do the soup for okro and banku with mushrooms, palm nut soup with aubergine, mushrooms and any other veg, same with groundnut soup, jollof with veg stock instead of chicken and sometimes add the red beans inside.... mmm I'm hungry now

I am so happy to see a Greek person in this video! Greek cuisine is actually pretty vegan -friendly. There are a lot of Greek recipes which are vegan in their original form. Regarding spanakopita, I'd like to assure you that there is no need for anything egg-like if you don't want to add it. The ricotta cheese is also not something we traditionally add to it, as it's Italian. We almost always stick to feta cheese. Another tip is to use fresh spinach if you can find it. It makes a huge difference. Lastly, there is no need to precook the leeks, even though precooking them makes them even sweeter, and adding green onions and a bit of regular onions (red, yellow, it doesn't actually matter to us) makes the pie even more delicious.

It's gone from having nothing to eat when dining out except for tired lettuce and sliced onion masquerading as an entre , to soo many delicious options. Plus its nice to tell someone you're a Vegan and not have them look at you like a communist in 1950.

@@nmg6248 That's a good idea with using black salt. Also another route that might be interesting is using peeled brussel sprouts since the sulphur in the brussel sprouts can give it a light, eggy taste.

YES!!! I can testify that vegan shashuka is delicious and amazing! As NM G said, use tofu. If you like when the eggs in shashuka are super tender, I recommend silken tofu. Since tofu is already edible (no need to cook), let it come up to room temp as you are preparing the rest of the dish, then gently set it on top of the bubbling tomato, onion, etc. when ready to serve :)

I haven't even finished the video yet but the bean curd as egg...wow that blew my mind. I was looking for a similar texture and I never even thought of it! For my use case, I wanted to replicate a dish my dad would make me growing up, huevos al albañil (eggs, construction worker style lol): - Sauté diced onions, garlic and a can of diced tomatoes - Once onions are translucent, add vegan chicken stock (or veggie). Ideally, this will be like a thickened soup so add as much stock/water as you want - Now with the bean curd! You can cook it in oil, adding black salt and pepper (turmeric like Tiffany if you want) - Once both the tomato broth and bean curds are done, serve the broth in a bowl and top with bean curd. - Add a dollop of vegan sour cream or vegan white cheese (let it melt a bit) and enjoy with some warm tortillas! Such a comfort food and I can't wait to try the bean curd! I love this series, learning a lot of new recipes :)

Eggplant, tomatoes, basil, and ricotta salata -(NOT OREGANO and NO GARLIC) these four ingredients are the fundamentals of pasta alla norma, a dish that originated in Catania, a city on Sicily's west coast. “Too much garlic! Garlic everywhere,” Garlic, you see, is not quite the staple of Italian cuisine Americans think it is. Depending on who you speak to, onions are a controversial ingredient too - and don’t even think of ever combining the two in a single dish.
