A fantastic vegan Thanksgiving spread does not need to be made from scratch, non-traditional, or require multiple trips to the grocer and natural food store.
Yes, Charleston has come a long way. It hasn't been that long since vegetarians and vegans had limited choices in grocery stores when it came to holiday fare. Those days are long gone, and many grocers stock an assortment of goodies that will help veggies produce an impressive Thanksgiving spread.
For people who live to cook, preparing the meal is as essential as what is on the menu. Everything from the cranberry sauce to the centerpiece is homemade. For those who find cooking a challenge, however, the stress level skyrockets when faced with preparing any special meal. Luckily, almost everything on the holiday table can be put together painlessly and easily with a little help from the freezer case.
For the centerpiece, swing by Earth Fare, Whole Foods Market, Publix, or Harris Teeter and pick up Tofurkey Roast or Field Roast Celebration Roast. Both make for a lovely presentation, but you may need to pick up two or more if you plan to feed more than six. Serve your selection with mashed potatoes and your favorite gravy, cornbread dressing with or without veggie sausage, macaroni and cheese, green bean casserole, candied sweet potatoes, broccoli salad, biscuits or rolls, and your favorite desserts. This spread will surely please traditionalists, veg or not.
For the ultimate in an easy prep holiday spread, pick up Tofurkey Feast. It's a complete meal, including an Amy's Cake for dessert. It serves six and is quite yummy. It runs between $20-25 in local stores, but not every grocer carries it. Swing by Earth Fare or Whole Foods Market for this one.
Veg News Magazine, Veg Web, Gardein, and The Post-Punk Kitchen all have holiday meal ideas from appetizer to dessert. If you don't want to plan your menu from scratch, just follow one of their plans exactly or serve your usual traditional meal with vegan substitutes.
There are some who are fine with cranberry sauce from a can, but it is so easy to make that everyone should give it a try at least once. It tastes great with the meal and leftovers can give any meal or snack a holiday twist. Try it stirred into plain yogurt or over pancakes at breakfast and as a sandwich spread.
Easy Cranberry Sauce
1 bag cranberries
1 cup water or orange juice
1 cup sugar ( cup if using orange juice)
2 TBS orange zest
Combine ingredients in saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until berries pop and sauce thickens. The sauce will thicken more as it cools. Let cool and serve.
