Vegan St. Patrick’s Day – Corned Vegetables

CABBAGE BEAUTIES

Feeling left out that you don’t have veggies for St. Patrick’s Day? If you want to make your corned vegetables heartier, add (smoked) tempeh or tofu, or if you eat wheat seitan. Or serve those on the side.

I hope that you will be pleasantly surprised. Don’t just make it for this holiday. Make it anytime this spring when you want fresh, tasty vegetables from your pressure cooker or Instant Pot.

“Corned" Spring Vegetables

I made this dish for a cooking demonstration on St. Patrick's Day at Laguna Farm. These were mighty tasty vegetables. Corning has to do with the spices, not corn. Use the ones that you like, and omit the ones that you don't like.
