Then what do you eat?
It's easier to say what vegans don't eat:
animals and their secretions.
One vegan attempts to answer the famous question in pictures.
+ tofu tacos
+ mexican rice
+ beans
My friend made these tacos. So good. I did the spanish rice, easier then you might think.
Mexican Rice:
1 cup uncooked rice
2 cups cold water
2-6 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
olive oil
1/2 onion, coarsely chopped
1 small roma tomato, chopped into about 4 pieces
1 jalapeno pepper, sliced lengthwise
1/4 tomato sauce (more or less)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon veg bouillon
salt, to taste
Method:
- Put a little olive oil (tbsp or so) into a medium-sized pot and heat to a medium temp. - Add the rice, uncooked, and brown in the oil. Make sure all the rice is lightly coated with the oil, string as it browns. (Rice will turn medium brown—its not burning unless its turning dark/black)
- Towards the end of the browning, add the garlic so that it sautes.
- Pour water over rice, and add the remaining ingredients.
- Stir well and cover (with a small air escape).
- Reduce heat to medium-low, and let cook for 20-30 minutes. (check after 20 min to make sure you don’t burn). DO NOT PEEK while the rice is cooking
When it is ready, all the water will be absorbed, the rice will fluff, and each grain will be split open because of the browning. It should be dry, not saucy. You can adjust the spices/peppers to your taste. The recipe can be changed by keeping with the 1 cup rice/2 cups water ratio, and adjusting remaining ingredients.
