Vegetarian takeaway ideas
1) Beetroot burger
You won't believe this burger is vegan. Make the mighty patty with mushrooms, tofu, beetroot, pecans, black beans and oat flour. Top with your favourite plant-based cheese, sauces and veggies like avocado, chilli jam and crunchy lettuce leaves.
2) Salt and pepper tofu
This takeaway classic is so easy to make at home that it will soon be one of your go-to dinners. Use both types of peppercorns for a tongue-tingling kick and spicy warmth.
3) Mozzarella-stuffed crust pizza
Choose this over-the-top-pizza for the ultimate family night in. Make your own pizza dough or use shop-bought for a shortcut, and stuff the crust with gooey mozzarella cheese.
4) Seitan & black bean stir-fry
This handy vegan stir-fry makes a satisfying supper, with a sticky sweet and spicy sauce. Seitan, peanut butter and a mix of veggies is a winning combination.
5) Vegan fried chicken
Vegan, but missing your weekly dose of fried chicken? Now you can recreate that finger-lickin' taste at home with Juliet Sear's clever recipe. Use tofu as a chicken substitute and add loads of flavour with our complex spice mix.
6) Paneer korma
Choose this warming paneer curry and stacks of warm naan for a cosy night in. The creamy sauce is infused with fresh ginger and cardamom, with tender spinach for a splash of colour.
7) Vegan bean chilli fries
It doesn't get more exciting than a bowl of loaded chilli fries, all to yourself. Bake a batch of frozen French fries or chunky chips and top with vegan chilli, guacamole, crème fraîche and crispy fried onions.
8) Vegan katsu curry
Enjoy a vegan version of classic katsu curry with the whole family. It's made from crispy, golden tofu and served with fluffy white rice, fresh herbs and crunchy cucumber and carrot ribbons.
9) Pineapple fried rice
Fried rice is always going to go down well as part of a Chinese-inspired feast. This version contains chunks of juicy pineapple for sweetness and ribbons of soft omelette.
10) Burrito bowl
Recreate your favourite Mexican-inspired takeaway at home with this simple black bean burrito bowl. It's a healthy option to keep your family dinner light.
