Have you promised to cook a special someone a special dinner? Take your date night to the next level by preparing a delicious meal that’s 100 percent free of meat and dairy. Surprise them with how satisfying eating plant-based can be. You’re sure to make a good impression if you cook vegetables in the awe-inspiring ways they deserve. Check out these 10 finger-licking vegan meals to cook for your date:
1. Chickpea Butternut Tagine
This hearty dish calls for a couple tablespoons of red wine, so buy a bottle for your special date and drink the rest with your dinner. Just make sure it’s a vegan wine.
2. Potatoes and Porchini Mushroom Ravioli in Broccoli Cream Sauce
This comforting broccoli cream sauce pairs well with the crunch of the broccoli, so you’ll get a pleasant textural balance with each bite.
3. Raw Vegan Enchiladas with Chunky Salsa, Cheesy Sauce, and Spicy Nut Meat
The tortillas for these enchiladas are made of onion, corn, tomatoes, ground flax seeds, salt, and pepper. The walnut and pumpkin seed “taco meat” blends well with the delicious cashew cheese sauce.
4. Very Vegan Mac n’ Cheese
This mac n’ cheese is so creamy, cheesy, and tasty that your date may not even know that it contains zero dairy products. Nutritional yeast, non-dairy milk, and tahini are the stars to thank in this dish for making a creamy, cheesy sauce.
