Lentil salad, it gets brown lentils, diced garden cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes, jalapeño, fresh parsley and mango, spiced with nutmeg. Easy to make and filling and something unique to bring to work potlucks lol It’s always a hit when I bring it

Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!
Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.
This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Grown Ups Only.
Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.

it's wild that your recipe is almost the same is mine; except where you go with nutmeg, i go with lime juice and chili powder.
sometime i switch out the mango with apples and add in tamarind when i do.
Oooh, that sounds so good, I’m gonna try that 🤤
fyi: you can buy some variation of the apple/tamarind version at any decent mexican grocer and there's also a candy version of it with only the apple, the tamarind, chili & lime. it's usually in lollipop form and most people unaccustomed to it will eat it like a lollipop; but you're meant to bite and chew it to get all of the flavors out.
Haha I was one of those unaccustomed; my husband’s buddy gave him some of those for us and I was utterly baffled 😅
it used to make me wince to see people doing that and biting into the corn husk along with a tamale; it most cases it was their first time and i was disappointed at not getting to vicariously live through their experience of trying something delicious for the first time.
in my older age i've come to appreciate how incredible common it is despite the 2 cultures proximity for centuries and both intermarrying to the tune of millions people sufficient enough to out number spain and all but 4 latin american countries.
