This St. Patrick’s Day, you can celebrate with more than green beer! With a little bit of planning, you can whip up a totally vegan spread full of tasty Irish dishes. These vegan dishes are cruelty free and in many cases healthier than their meaty counterparts.

1. Vegan Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s Pie is excellent comfort food, and this hearty vegan version featuring mushrooms and tofu is just as filling as its meaty cousin. If you’re not a fan of tofu, you can replace the soy with white beans or black eyed peas.

2. Vegan Colcannon
Colcannon normally features cabbage, but this recipe from Vegan Yum Yum calls for kale instead. If you want something a little bit more traditional, you can just swap the cabbage back in. Just use 4 cups of cabbage in place of the kale, and cook it the same. Either way, you’re getting a generous serving of healthy cruciferous vegetables!

3. Vegan Irish Stew
Irish stew typically calls for beef or lamb, but this savvy vegan version uses seitan or chickpeas (your choice!) to replace the meat. This looks like the perfect cozy meal for a chilly St. Patrick’s Day!

4. Dublin Coddle with Vegan Irish Sausage
Fat Free Vegan’s recipe for Dublin Coddle includes instructions for making your own vegan Irish sausage from scratch! If you’re not feeling quite that ambitious, you can use pre-made vegan sausages, like Tofurkey or Field Roast.

5. Whole Wheat Vegan Soda Bread
Soda bread is an Irish staple, but it often uses dairy ingredients. This simple vegan recipe from Happy Herbivore is sure to please, whether you sweeten it up with a bit of sugar and raisins or omit those ingredients to stay more traditional.
Do you guys have any vegan eats on your St. Patrick’s Day menu? I’d love to hear what’s cooking in the comments!

+ add your ownooo! what delightfully tasty and healthy recipes!
mmmmmhhhhhhhhhh
I make my colcannon with spinach . My soda bread (whole wheat of course ) has mead instead of vinegar and honey in place of sugar.
Looks good, but it sure looks like bacon in the colcannon picture(?) not sure how that would be vegan, the actual recipe link shows a different picture however. At any rate it's all making me hungry
YUMMY! I just posted it on my store's site :)
thanks......
yummy, thank you.
yummy, thank you.
My favorite is making Corned Beef & Cabbage without the corned beef. Use plenty of parsnips, and it's the most delicious Irish soup on the planet!
Looks yummy!!
