Vegan Christmas Entree Recipes

Christmas is a special time of year when families come together to share good food and quality time. For those who follow a vegan diet, it can be difficult to come up with vegan-friendly recipes that everyone will enjoy. Here are some delicious and easy-to-make vegan entrees that will make your Christmas dinner memorable.

Vegan Shepherd’s Pie

This vegan version of the classic shepherd’s pie is hearty and flavorful. Start by sautéing onions and garlic in a pan with some olive oil. Add in carrots, celery, and mushrooms and sauté until they are tender. Then add in some vegan Worcestershire sauce, vegetable broth, and vegan beef crumbles (or your favorite vegan protein). Simmer for about 10 minutes. While that’s simmering, prepare the mashed potatoes. Boil potatoes until they are tender, then mash them with vegan butter, almond milk, and salt and pepper. Once the vegetables are done, add them to a baking dish and top with the mashed potatoes. Bake in the oven until the potatoes are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a salad.

Vegan Lasagna

In a separate pan, sauté onions and garlic, then add in mushrooms, spinach, and your favorite vegan protein. Add in some tomato sauce and seasonings, and simmer for about 10 minutes. In a bowl, mix together vegan ricotta cheese, vegan Parmesan cheese, and vegan mozzarella cheese. Layer the lasagna in a baking dish, starting with a layer of noodles, then the vegan ricotta cheese mixture, then the sauce and vegetables, and finally the vegan cheese. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up. Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a salad.
