Robert Stevens says
The array of stuffed vegetables you have featured is amazing! I haven't given much consideration other than an odd pepper or mushroom. I can't wait to try out the aubergine. 😀
Daniela says
The gorgeous looking stuffed cashew nut roast contains egg, so isn't vegan. Can you just leave out the egg or would you need to replace it with something?
thevegspace says
Sorry not to have spotted that Daniela, and thanks for letting me know. I've added a note next to the recipe - yes I think given the amount of cheese (for which you could substitute in dairy-free cheese) this would still bind together well without the egg yolk.
Anca says
They all look delicious. The nut roast are fab, I would love to try those, I would love to try all of them.
Violet Nguyen says
Wowwww ! All of those look so appetizing. I love vega foods. They are not too fatty. Especially, I am being on a diet. My favorite food is stuffed peppers. You also can use tomatoes instead. But I prefer peppers. They are very colorful, will help you to highlight weekend meals. And now, I am wondering that what to serve with this dish. I am thinking a vegetable, possibly a garden salad or maybe asparagus? Sounds not too bad ! <3 Thanks for sharing!
Christina says
Wow Some of these look absolutely incredible! I have come across your website as I have recently started eating a more vegetarian diet and I am full of inspiration looking through all of these recipes. People gave me the impression that vegetarian and vegan food would be bland and boring, but by the look of most these recipes they look mouth watering good!
