Last night I had chickpea cutlets, carrots in a dill/white wine sauce, green beans and spinach sautéed together in garlic and olive oil, and cranberry sauce.
 
Oooh I'd love the recipe if you have time to share.:D
Sure thing. It is from Veganomicon.


Ingredients

1 cup cooked chickpeas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup vegetable broth or water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, pressed or grated with a Microplane grater
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
Olive oil for pan frying

Directions

1- In a mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas together with the oil until no chickpeas are left. Add the remaining ingredients and knead together for about 3 minutes, until strings of gluten have formed.
2- Preheat a large heavy-bottomed nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, divide the cutlet dough into 4 equal pieces. To form cutlets, knead each piece in your hand for a few moments and then flatten and stretch each one into a roughly 6 by 4 inch rectangular cutlet shape. The easiest way to do this is to form a rectangle shape in your hands and then place the cutlets on a clean surface to flatten and stretch them.
3- Add a moderately thin layer of olive oil to the bottom of the pan. Place the cutlets in the pan and cook on each side for 6 to 7 minutes. Add more oil, if needed, when you flip the cutlets. They're ready when lightly browned and firm to the touch.

Number of Servings: 4

Note: I usually make 5 or 6 cutlets and cook them about 8 or so minutes.

Lucky you, I'm envious. I really miss the mock meats and sausages from Sainsbug's.:p
 
Last night I did spaghetti, which seems to be a common Sunday dinner for us. I used Trader Joe's organic marinara, to which I added a half pound of sliced mushrooms and a package of Trader Joe's Meatless Balls. Normally I would also throw in about six cloves of garlic (crushed), but I'm currently out of garlic. Served with slices French bread that was roasted with Earth Balance.

I'll have leftovers of that tonight!

A vegan "cheesy" pasta bake - pasta with broccoli, peas, and sweetcorn, topped in a vegan cheese sauce and breadcrumbs, baked in the oven. Serving with garlic bread :)
 
Inspired by PTree's chickpea cutlet recipe, I made some chickpea tofu burgers.

I didn't have any gluten or breadcrumbs so I added some tofu and chickpea flour instead with a spoon of tahini. Served with gently sauteed green cabbage and a salad of baby fennels with an evo/lemon dressing.
Persimmon fruit for dessert.
 
those "chicken" satay skewers you showed me looked good--and gluten free--so many decent mock meats have wheat in them. SOB!

Tonight: red lentil and carrot soup with curry paste and coconut milk.
 
Tonight I'm making cheezy-chivey tofu scramble. To accompany, I'll heat up some Trader Joe's hash browns and some vegan sausage patties. Husband wants to have chik'n waffles with it, but that's too much food! We'll save the chik'n waffles for another day.
