A long-standing ritual, Monday Red Beans and Rice is a well-honored (and nourishing) tradition in the city of New Orleans. Come every Monday, a pot of beans will be simmering on the stove — whether it’s at a restaurant, served for lunch at school, or cooked in a home where the recipe has been passed down for generations. Each cook has their own variation on this cultural staple meal that’s meant to be shared with others. Our plant-based pressure cooker version keeps some of the elements of a traditional pot of red beans such as the Holy Trinity — onions, green bell pepper, and celery — and some of the herbs and spices, and is finished in a fraction of the time! So gather the family this coming Monday and enjoy a delicious bowl of plant power while partaking in a beloved tradition.

These crispy bites are slightly tangy, a little spicy, and have just the right touch of sweetness. With so much flavor and nutrition packed into one little bite, they make the ideal appetizer or a tasty addition to a wrap, stir-fry, grain bowl, or salad!

Zingy yet sweet Garlic Ginger Sauce is super versatile and goes well on practically any Asian-inspired dish. It can be mixed into a wholesome veggie stir-fry, poured over noodles with tofu, or added as a sweet and spicy dressing on salads and grain bowls (just omit the arrowroot powder for cold dishes). This dressing or sauce will elevate your favorite plant-based foods no matter which way you choose to use it!

Berbere is a mix of dried spices traditionally used in Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. It’s used to flavor stews or as a rub for grilled meat. (It would be delicious rubbed on grilled tofu or tempeh!) Creating your own spice blend helps to minimize unwanted additives and preservatives found in some store-bought spice blends. These spices are packed with anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, not to mention plenty of flavors. Use them often to create delicious and nutritious plant-based recipes!
