Vegan Dinner Recipes
Vegan dinner ideas for nights when you want a proper meal: baked ziti and stuffed shells, spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, burgers, street-style tofu tacos, enchiladas in salsa verde, orange seitan with rice, and chicken-fried steak with country gravy. Plenty of these are the dishes people assume they would have to give up, rebuilt from lentils, tofu, seitan and beans. Each recipe shows prep and cook times and servings, so you can pick something that fits the evening, and cards show a finished-plate photo when one is available.
