10 Top Vegan Holiday Recipes From The Middle East

tajine sweet potatoes prunesOne advantage of eating vegan is that you probably have all ingredients for home-cooked meals in your pantry, all the time. Another advantage, especially in freezing winter times like now, is how filling and warming vegan foods are, based as they are on grains, like lupini beans, which deserve to be better known, and lots of vegetables. Especially root vegetables, as in the tajine of sweet potatoes and prunes pictured above.

Green Prophet offers you many delicious vegan recipes, and here are our top 10 favorites. Every one has those big Middle Eastern flavors that you’ve come to expect from our devotedly Middle Eastern taste.

  1. Classic Ful and Hummus, A Working Man’s Lunch. Hearty fava beans on a bed of hummus and tahini – and recipes for all three, plus another for a traditional Middle-Eastern way with eggs.
  2. Falafel: The crunchy chickpea snack of the Middle East. Load it into a fresh pita and top it with lots of vegetables, and you have a meal.
  3. Muhamarra: A pungent spread based on roasted bell peppers and walnuts.
