As someone that is new to veganism,you should be excited to try new foods that you’ve never tried before. Exciting foods like ackee are awaiting you. Ackee is a fun fruit from Jamaica that is used as a vegetable. It’s soft and has a mild cheesy flavor. It’s goes really well with tofu,potato and sweet potato. Hence this recipe !
I love one pot meals, especially when they’re this colorful and hearty. You will love this one and you won’t miss the meat.
The tofu needs to be dried very well with clean paper towels for it to fry well. Once you don’t neglect that step,you will enjoy it.
So enough of that,I have an announcement ! We will be adding a little shop to our site where we will be selling vegan inspired greeting cards,my children’s book Ava’s Gone Vegan and an awesome whipped shea butter that’s infused with with almond oil,coconut oil,jojoba oil,vitamin E oil,sandalwood essential oil,bergamot essential oil and grapefruit essential oil. It’s called Happy Skin. It softens,nourishes and gives your skin a glowing complexion.
Enjoy this easy vegan recipe.
