vegan russian food, no oven required

I know this isn't exactly the right place to ask this, but I can't think of anywhere better off the top of my head right now

Try vegan cabbage rolls.

For stuffing, peel and grate carrot, fry in some veg oil until golden. Chop onion, fry until golden. Boil rice. Mix, add salt and pepper to taste. Take apart a cabbage, cut off the thickest veins from each leaf, put each leaf into salted boiling water for few seconds (should be soft, but not mushy), wrap tightly a tablespoonful of stuffing into each leaf and fry them a little bit in more veg oil. If you have soya meat, cook it and put into stuffing, too.

yeah, and don't forget to explain that this is a traditional Russian dish called голубцы.
The only problem is that, unlike dolmah, it is served hot.

[nymphatacita]

what's dolmah?

should the filling be 1/3 onion, 1/3 rice, and 1/3 carrot?

[wolk_off]

Dolmah is stuffed vine leaves -- very popular meal across the Eastern part of Mediterranian region, Turkey, Transcaucasian countries, and Middle East.

Make filling according to your taste, there's no strict rules. If you prefer less onion, put more carrot or rice in there.

That would have gone over well, as well. There are no fresh beets at the store this week!

Then I will have to try it soon :c)

Try Russian Beet Potato Salad.

You should buy a lenten cookbook from a Russian Orthodox parish. The Orthodox Church keeps vegan fasts for many days of the year

Someone else brought this, but it had mayonaise in it, so I didn't try. I'll have to make this for the family barbecue in a few weeks. :c) Thanks for the recipe! I'm putting this in my memories.
