Easy Weeknight Cashew Alfredo

Description

To celebrate National Ravioli Day on March 20th in plant-based style, we wanted to dress up our Tofu Ravioli with a little something special. So instead of heading down a red-sauce rabbit hole, we sought out the perfect vegan alfredo sauce for a weeknight dinner. By combining a few recipes, we came up with our take on a creamy, dairy-free white sauce to pair with either variety of SoyBoy Tofu Ravioli. For the purpose of the photos, we used Verde ravioli on this occasion.

Servings: 3

Instructions

  1. Soak cashews overnight for 4-12 hours or bring water to a boil, remove from heat, and soak cashews for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain soaked cashews and add to the bowl of a food processor.
  3. To the food processor, also add arrowroot starch (for thickening), nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, vegan parmesan cheese, and 2 cups of almond milk.
  4. Blend on high until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Gradually add more almond milk until sauce reaches a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt, garlic, nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan.
  5. Transfer to a skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, whisking frequently. The sauce should thicken and bubble. Add more almond milk if needed to thin, or cook longer to thicken.
  6. Enjoy atop SoyBoy Tofu Ravioli, adding Vegan Parmesan Cheese and roasted vegetables.

Instant Pot Vegan Tempeh Chili

Description

Do you love your Instant Pot because it makes everything easier? This versatile vegan chili recipe will magnify that love by giving you a warming winter meal that’s insanely easy to make. Just grab a couple of packs of SoyBoy organic tempeh, get out the cheese grater, and fire up that chili mode. We think the Instant Pot seals in all the flavors and improves the texture of the beans. With an extra pinch of this and that, you can make this one just the way you like it.

Servings: 4-6

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to “saute.” Cook olive oil, tempeh, and all vegetables except the beans. If at the end of 9 minutes (default “saute” setting) vegetables aren’t soft, add more time.
  2. Set the Instant Pot to “bean & chili.” Mix in all remaining ingredients and cook for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Top with your choice of garnish and serve.

Vegan Buffalo Dip

Description

Our Vegan Buffalo Dip, which contains both tempeh and firm tofu, is a high-protein, crowd-pleasing gameday treat. The tapioca flour gives the dairy-free dip an incredibly cheesy texture that you’ll have to taste to believe! Serve it up for the Super Bowl or any vegan potluck.

Servings:

Instructions

  1. Make the vegan ranch dressing by combining 4 ounces of tofu, herbs, spices, and lemon juice, and 2 Tbs water in a food processor. Blend until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more water a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is creamy and similar to that of ranch dressing. Measure out ¼ cup of vegan ranch and set aside.
  2. Prep the tempeh. Cut each block down the center so that you have strips about ⅛” deep. Then make 4 or 5 slices across. Marinate in a light coating of Frank’s Red Hot and set aside.
  3. Thoroughly drain 12 ounces of tofu (¾ of the package). Wrap in 2 sheets of paper towel, put on a plate, and set a heavy plate on top of the block to press out all of the excess water. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Once drained, crumble or cut the tofu into smaller chunks and add to food processor with ¾ cup water, tapioca flour, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt, and blend until smooth.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour tofu mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Once the mixture becomes gooey (~5 minutes), crumble in the marinated tempeh, and stir in the ranch until combined and remove from heat.
  6. Pour dip into a baking dish, place in the oven, and bake until the top of the dip is golden and the edges are bubbly (15-20 minutes).
  7. Remove the dip from the oven, stir, and transfer to a small slow cooker, hot plate, or serving dish. Stir occasionally to maintain the appearance. Serve with pita chips, corn chips, and/or carrots and celery.

Mexican Tortilla Soup with Smoked Tofu

Description

Chef Dan Eaton created this easy-to-follow recipe for smoky Vegetarian Mexican-Style Tortilla Soup using SoyBoy Organic Smoked Tofu, fresh corn tortillas, and chipotle peppers.

Servings: 6

Instructions

Fresh Baked Tortillas:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and slice the package of fresh corn tortillas (in small stacks) into 1⁄2” wide strips. Add those to a large mixing bowl and toss with 3-4 Tbs. of vegetable oil and salt to taste. Spread the strips out onto two baking trays (in a single layer if possible) and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Keep your eye on them and toss occasionally for even toasting. (Alternately, use store bought tortilla chips)
Soup:
  1. Add 1-2 Tbs. vegetable oil to a large, heavy bottomed soup pot on medium to medium-high heat and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic to soften.
  2. While you’re keeping your eye on that, and stirring it occasionally, add the can of diced tomatoes and two medium sized chipotle peppers to a blender. Once the onion is soft and translucent, carefully add that to the blender and puree everything until smooth.
  3. Add that mixture back to the soup pot and add the well drained can of red beans, add 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn, add 6-7 cups of vegetable broth and bring it up to a simmer.
  4. At some point, while the soup is gently simmering along, cube the two packages of smoked tofu, cube as much ripe avocado as you like and chop a big handful of fresh cilantro if you’re using it.
  5. Add the cubed, smoked tofu to the soup and let that simmer along for another 10-15 minutes.
  6. Then season it to taste and serve it up in deep bowls with the crispy tortillas, cubed avocado, chopped cilantro on top and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Tofu Ravioli with Chunky Vegetable Marinara

Description

SoyBoy Tofu Ravioli shines in this easy vegan recipe packed with fresh vegetables. It's a great meatless, dairy-free Italian entree for the vegans and vegetarians in your life!

Servings: 4-6

Instructions

  1. Add a splash of olive oil to a large, heavy bottomed pot on medium to medium-high heat and sauté the chopped onion and pepper to soften a bit. After a couple of minutes, add the zucchini and eggplant, adding more olive oil as you need to as the eggplant absorbs it.
  2. Stir that regularly and once the eggplant and zucchini have softened up quite a bit, add the minced garlic and a sprinkling of dried basil and dried oregano and an optional pinch of dried red pepper flakes.
  3. Then add the two cans of crushed tomatoes, rinse each can with 1⁄4 - 1/3 cup of water, add the water to the pot and bring it up to a gentle simmer. (This recipe makes more sauce than needed for two packages of ravioli so you’ll have leftover sauce for another meal. Freeze it if you like.)
  4. After the sauce simmers along for 10-15 minutes, add the tofu ravioli to a large pot of boiling water and cook according to directions.
  5. Carefully drain the ravioli and serve with the chunky vegetable marinara over the top.
