Vegan Cauliflower Tikka Masala

Vegan Cauliflower Tikka Masala with Instant Pot Tikka Masala Sauce. Flavorful Weekday Dinner. Freezer Friendly. Glutenfree Soyfree Nutfree option

The Tikka Masala Sauce that we made in the earlier post goes amazingly with almost anything. Most veggies, tofu, tempeh, seitan, vegan chikin, chickpeas, lentils, soycurls or just use as a dressing over a bowl!

The sauce is made in the Instant Pot before adding anything else to it, so that just the sauce can be cooked for a longer time. This helps roast the ingredients under pressure for that deep flavor profile. If you add veggies, they will become overcook in the time needed for the sauce. You can pressure cook other ingredients such as tempeh, seitan, soy curls or chickpeas with the uncooked sauce ingredients. Just add them to the sauce before closing the lid,  With Cauliflower I prefer to bake it and then simmer in the cooked sauce for a few mins for best results. To cook it in the instant pot, pressure cook for just 1 minute at low pressure with the already cooked sauce. 

Try it both ways to decide which you prefer, Add some chickpeas in for added protein. Lets make this!

Simple Creamy Comforting Pasta dinner with simple pantry ingredients. Ready within minutes! The sauce is like bechamel sauce with a roux. I use cashew cream for a cheesy creamy thickness. Usually you would cook the noodles separately, cook the mushrooms, veggies or meat, then mix the lot, top with cheese and breadcrumbs and bake. That’s a lot of dishes and time! This tetrazzini gets made in the Instant pot Pressure Cooker.

Saute the mushrooms, then roast the flour for a roux, add broth and noodles and close the lid. Meanwhile, prep your garnishes and dinner is ready. I like to add toasted breadcrumb topping to the dish as the texture and flavor makes it feel like it is a baked dish that has hours put into it :). You can use any other toppings of choice,some vegan parm, vegan cheese (add when hot so it melts), fresh herbs, black pepper or pepper flakes. 

I have not tried gf pasta in Instant Pot. Use stove top method for gluten-free. Easily nutfree, oilfree

I love simple snacks at times when I need a quick energy boost, or just something to keep me going till meal time. These bites work perfectly.  Delicious, fun and satisfying.

I was thinking of making a version oat nut butter no bake cookies at first. I don’t particularly like oats raw, and I like texture much better from rice krispies. They add crunch and airyness to an otherwise dense bite. Use any grain krispies, plain or chocolate.  These bites have texture, amazing flavor and are super quick to make. Just add into the processor, process, shape, chill (if the balls dont already disappear). These bites keep well for a couple of weeks.

Some caramelization of the onion and garlic with the harissa spice mix, then tomato paste and mint, some chickpeas, sweet potatoes and simmer and done. Change it up to preference. Use other spice mixes (baharat, berbere from Everyday Kitchen book), or use whichever spices you have.
