IKEA Easy Vegan Menu
Servings: 2 servings
Print RecipeI love this typical Scandinavian vegan menu served at my local IKEA Norway restaurant. Here’s how you can easily prepare this kind of meal yourself, in your own kitchen, using frozen veggie balls plus a few fresh or frozen vegetables.
Equipment
- Ceramic or Glass Tray
- Cooking Pot
Ingredients
- 20 veggie balls from IKEA (Grönsaksbullar - soy-free, GMO-free, free of additives)
- 4 small potatoes (peeled, sliced)
- 300 g fresh or frozen broccoli
- 3-4 big carrots (cut big)
Instructions
Cooking the veggie balls
- Preheat the oven at 180 Celsius.
- In a ceramic tray, add your veggie balls and cover with water.
- Cook them in the oven for 20-25 min or until they’re ready.
Cooking the side vegetables
- In a cooking pot, add the side vegetables and cover with water.
- Cook the vegetables for 15-20 min or until the potatoes are done. Note that the broccoli will cook first (1-2 minutes) and the carrots will follow shortly (5-10 minutes).
- Remove cooked vegetables as they become tender and let the rest to cook on their own time.
Putting it together
- In an empty plate add 10 veggie balls.
- Complete the plate by adding half of the potatoes, broccoli and carrots. It’s important to include all these veggies in equal parts.
- Finish by adding one fresh black coffee on the side (optional).
- That’s it! Wasn’t that too easy? Enjoy this as a lunch or dinner. It can work wonders as a grab-and-go breakfast or lunch, or as a recovery meal.
Notes
This vegan menu was available at IKEA Norway in the summer of 2018. The picture was taken at one of their restaurants, in the South of Norway.
The recipe teaches you how to put together your own similar menu. You will have to buy the veggie balls (from IKEA or from somewhere else) and cook them yourself at home. You’ll also have to cook the vegetables separately.
Coffee is part of the Norwegian and Scandinavian meal tradition. For best flavor, serve your coffee without sugar (black is possible) or with full-fat raw cream.
