If you want you can use coconut oil or first press olive oil instead of water for a different flavour and better texture.
BTW SWL ,where did you say you were? Could you use a deck hand? and most important what time does the dinner bell clang?

There is a difference between garbonzo beans and chickpeas? Around here the terms are used interchangeably.

avb3****** Thought that avatar was a pic of you "asleep at the wheel" ****guess not
Let's see if SWL's hubby will notice the difference in his humas

Real vegans grow their own veggies. Here is the easiest one to grow aboard, in three blog posts:

If you can't read Dutch, just look at the pics or use Google Translate and have a laugh at it's pathetic translation

I suppose that depends upon what one has a taste for at the time

My mind is heading off on all sorts of tangents now. I may have to amend the title of this thread .

Pure, avb3 is correct - chickpeas are garbanzo beans LOL.
I do have tahini on board and occasionally sneak some hoummus into hubby (in general he copes better with pureed pulses). By the way grated lemon rind makes a lovely addition to hoummos.

For centuries standard pizza crust has simply been flour, water and yeast, with a touch of sugar and possibly salt and olive oil (see my recipe way back in post #46). Why doesn't that pass as vegan?

A month or two ago Boatman61 posted his recipe for Mulligatawny. I can't find the original now, but here is the version I make. I vaguely remember there were no cumin seeds or turmeric in the original recipe, the chilli was only half a teaspoon and I know the stock cube was chicken, but if a veggie one is substituted, this recipe would qualify as vegan. The flavour is lovely.

(Although I doubt it stemmed from this recipe, it is a pity that I can't make it now without thinking of Boatie's 'dutch ovens' comment LOL.)

BOATIE's MULLIGATAWNY (sort of)

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions sliced
4 cloves chopped garlic

1 heaped teaspoon each:
- turmeric
- coriander ground
- cumin ground
- cumin whole
- chilli flakes
- garam masala
2 tsp grated fresh ginger ground

5 mugs water
2 stock cubes
1 mug (8oz) of red lentils
3 potatoes, peeled and diced
6 medium carrots, peeled and diced
1 lemon, juiced
handful of chopped fresh coriander

- Heat 2 tbl oil in a pressure cooker pot
- Sauté onions and garlic
- Measure out spices in a cup (they burn if adding one by one as you need to keep stirring)
- Add spices with extra tbl of oil and stir a few minutes
- Add everything other than the coriander
- Bring to the boil stirring occasionally
- Cover and bring to pressure
- Turn off and leave an hour or two
- Uncover, bring back to boiling and seal in glass jars.
- Reheat, adding coriander just before serving

Tomato

Fine chop mushrooms and onions. Put mushrooms in bowl, mush with fork, add onions, add salt to taste and drizzle olive oil as appropriate

Spread on bread and add tomato slices.

Quick, easy and tasty.

Now that sounds a lot more appealing than your apple and garlic soup . I am still working up the courage to try that one LOL.

For some reason I was thinking eggs in the batter

your right it would pass for vegan I suppose
I say suppose in case there comes about some really finicky vegan that may find fault with what we think is vegan. __________________
