Easy Vegan Christmas Dinner | Cranberry Sauce | Beef Wellington | Epic Dessert | The Edgy Veg

Yes, it is entirely possible to make a 100% Vegan Christmas Dinner that will not only keep the Vegans in your life happy but is tasty enough to satisfy the omnivores as well.

In this episode of The Edgy Veg Candice makes the bold move of creating an entire Vegan Christmas Dinner and filming the whole process so you can follow along at home. Your first step is of course going to be gathering all of your ingredients. You can see what you will need to get in the first part of the video. Definitely be sure you have mushrooms, green beans, rolls, carrots, vegan cheese, potatoes, vegan milk, and more on hand.

The main part of this meal will be the Seitan en Croute, better known as Beef Wellington. You can find the full recipe for this on the channel at the link below:

Make as many of these as you need to feed your guests. One of these is generally enough for two people.

What Christmas dinner would be complete without stuffing? Candice has also already made a video detailing how to create your vegan stuffing which you can find on the channel right here:

Essentially it consists of day old bread broken into pieces and mixed with parsley, sage, poultry seasoning, celery, thyme, and a bit of fleur de sel. Add sauteed onions to that mixture along with vegetable stock and put it into a casserole dish. Stick that in the oven and move on to your next dish. You can find more precise and complete directions at the link above.

Moving right along, it's time to take out some of that inner rage and smash some potatoes. Everyone knows how to make mashed potatoes, but do you know how to make smashed potatoes? Boil some good sized potatoes until they are somewhat soft, put them on a baking sheet and smash them each fairly flat with a tumbler or some other tumbler sized object. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on each one, add freshly crushed pepper and a pinch of salt, then place them into the oven along with your stuffing.

Next on the list is carrots and green beans. Candice is a big fan of roasted carrots and green beans so that's what she's going with for this dinner. Chop the ends off of your carrots and peel them putting them into a baking dish and drizzling them with a bit of olive oil followed by some crushed black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Follow the same process to make your green beans with the exception of course that you won't be peeling them, you'll be chopping off the ends. Put both of these into your now no doubt nearly full oven.

Our next step will be to create our cranberry sauce. Candice claims that no one really eats the cranberry sauce except her and one other guest. Regardless, she's going to make it, and she's going to make it from scratch. Add fresh cranberries to a sauce-pot, add in brown sugar, raw sugar, and some fresh squeezed orange juice. Set your heat somewhere between medium and medium-high and soon you will start hearing pops. Let that continue to cook down, feel free to mash up your cranberries if you see fit, or just leave them whole. The important part here is that they get soft.

By now most of what's in your oven is going to be cooked, be sure to keep an eye on it and not overcook it. The more prepared you can be for your guests the less stressed out you'll be when the magic hour arrives to serve them Christmas dinner. Pull out all the dishes that are done and cover them with tin foil setting them on the counter. Now it's time to make some garlic aoli. In a mixing bowl add vegan mayonnaise, garlic, fresh lemon juice and whisk well. After mixing add just a touch of paprika and whisk again. That is all there is to making delicious vegan garlic aoli.

For dessert Candice has chosen to make Rafeallo. Unfortunately we are out of space to write any more about this Vegan Christmas Dinner so you'll just have to follow along with the video to make this epic dessert.

That completes this Vegan Holiday Christmas Dinner video. After watching this, and following a few of the links above you should have no trouble creating your very own vegan holiday dinner.

I eat cranberry sauce out of the pot with a spoon. A big spoon. In our family Christmas wasn't a Thanksgiving redux. It generally featured beef with potatoes of some kind, green veg, red veg, with a soup course to start. The Wellingtons would be the ideal replacement for the meat. Thanks for reminding me about them! The way you stir that bread stuffing with a fork is charmingly hausfrau; James will eat well the rest of his life! Thanks for posting : )

I've been reading about and cooking quite a lot of vegetarian/vegan meals recently, I'm really interested in eating a lot less meat.
