    For sure, Irish soda bread is a winner for everyone, but this version makes it one of the best and most delicious Irish recipes made vegan. This recipe uses the no yeast, no-knead method.

    Ingredients you will need:

    • Whole wheat flour
    • Vegan buttermilk
    • Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
    • Salt
    • Baking soda

    Method:

    This oh-so-simple vegan recipe involves preparing the vegan buttermilk with apple cider vinegar before mixing together the dry ingredients.

    Next, mix everything together slowly until you get a dough consistency.

    When ready, place it on a baking tray and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

    As one of the most delicious Irish recipes made vegan, this is the perfect addition to some hearty vegetable soup or fresh out of the oven with some melted vegan butter on top.

    Colcannon is almost vegan, as the traditional recipe goes. So, we are halfway there to making it completely vegan friendly already.

    To complete this dish, you will mix mashed potatoes with cabbage or kale, chopped onions, and vegan cream or vegan butter. To garnish, season with some parsley, salt, and pepper.

    Ingredients you will need:

    • Potatoes
    • Cabbage or kale
    • Vegan cream
    • Vegan butter
    • Salt, pepper, and parsley

    Method:

    Boil your chopped potatoes and sauté your cabbage or kale. When both are ready, mix them together in a large bowl.

    Firstly, mash the potatoes with vegan butter and cream before adding the leafy greens and additional seasoning.

    This vegan recipe is so simple and so tasty, making it perfect for any occasion.

    3. Vegan Shepherd’s Pie – the hearty choice

    One of the best Irish dinners is, of course, the hearty shepherd’s pie, which in this case contains no meat as it would have traditionally been made with.

    If soy protein is not your thing, then this will certainly be the recipe for you because lentils and vegetables will be the yummy replacement for lamb.

    This delicious, healthy recipe will give you lots of energy, protein, and flavour without the need for any animal product.

    So, you are wondering how to get your hands on this delicious vegan version of Irish shepherd’s pie?

    Ingredients you will need:

    • Potatoes
    • Onions
    • Carrots
    • Lentils
    • Mushrooms
    • Celery
    • Flour
    • Vegan butter
    • Tomato puree  
    • Herbs and spices to season

    Method:

    After soaking your lentils and preparing the veg, you will cook the veg with stock, adding the lentils last.

    Finally, after allowing everything to simmer, place in a casserole dish and top with mashed potatoes to bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Voila!
