Okay, Genesis vegan and vegetarian clients… you’re going to love us for this one! We really were amazed at how delicious this recipe tasted. Even non-tofu eaters were impressed. The secret is in “pressing” the tofu. It’s very easy to do, so be sure to see the directions at the bottom. The Genesis homemade Vegan Mayo can be a bit sweeter than regular mayonnaise, so you may want to balance the flavors with a little more lemon, after tasting. Do not use store bought vegan mayo!

TERIYAKI TEMPEH
This is a very flavorful and easy recipe for our vegan and vegetarian clients. Tempeh provides density, structure and high-quality protein to this dish. The nutritional yeast also provides a boost of protein and B-vitamins, as well. Non-vegans can always substitute the tempeh for ten ounces of thinly sliced sirloin, as the nutritional yeast flavor is toned down in this recipe. To serve over cauliflower rice, use 1/2 cup of cooked rice and 1/2 cup of the cooked broccoli.
SAVORY HERBED HEMP HEART PILAF
This quick and easy recipe is very interesting! It takes protein-packed hemp hearts (found at most grocery stores or Amazon) and creates a tasty, savory “rice” pilaf. All clients can use this recipe. We have it pictured as a side dish with a vegetable, but you can also add it to Creamy Cauliflower Leek or Roasted Tomato Soups, etc. It would be delicious topped with Creamy Decadent Mushroom Sauce – just think outside the box. Hemp hearts are a nutty-flavored protein source, not a vegetable, so serving it with a protein would not work.

CARIBBEAN MUSTARD-LIME FLAT IRON STEAK

This original recipe uses honey as an ingredient, but we substituted it with low-glycemic sweeteners.
