Could I substitute white beans for tofu? I cannot eat soy. Thanks
Yes, or you could do half beans, half cashews . Yum
Hi Jill, my husband and I love your recipes, made your zucchini fritters, potato Leek Soup, Toscana soup, absolutely love your soup.
I would like to make this recipe, but is there a substitute for tofu? Please say yes.
P.S. I am so tempted to make your Baking recipes, but I am on WFPB weight loss journey and am watching fat, but I’m glad you provide alternatives to SAD baking alternatives
Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy new year, keep those recipes coming.
You could use some kind of white bean or cashews or a combination of both
You might also try a steamed potato to replace the tofu. (I also do not use soy and am on low fat plan.) The starch in the potato will thicken the sauce without the added fats.
Definitely going to make this! Thank you!
Would it be possible to use frozen kale in this recipe?
Absolutely
I love that your recipes are simple and look delicious..I will try this one for sure..so healthy.
Just found this recipe today. Made it, ate it, loved it! It’s sooo easy ☺️.
any suggestion for replacing the nutritional yeast? I would try mushrooms but my wife does not like and do not like the taste of nutritional yeast.
You could leave the nutritional yeast out and use a tablespoon of miso.
I have too much liquid after baking. What makes it congeal?
You could add a little corn starch or arrow root powder to the sauce mixture before baking.
It also looks like in the video Jill only added a little of the veggie broth to deglaze, but the recipe calls for a whole cup. Maybe reduce the amount of broth that you put in the onion potato mixture?
I made it tonight! SO much Umami! I added potato starch to the sauce before baking. Doubled the recipe so that my family of four can eat it for two nights. It was a hit! Thanks!
Thanks for another winner, Jill! This is a fabulous dish. I subbed silken tofu (extra firm) as that’s what I had on hand, but otherwise made it as written.
Hubby is sure to enjoy this. I love recipes that include that include non starchy veggies. Just love eating greens.
This recipe came up in my youtube news feed. So good that you make WFPB Oil Free recipes! They can be hard to find. I already follow a program, but always looking for new inspiration.I have precooked whole potatoes today to dice, so one less step tomorrow when I will make it for dinner. Concerned the 2 cups of broth will be watery?? If anyone has used the cornstarch to thicken or used less broth with success please post.
Jill, I have already ordered your cookbook from amazon, looking forward to it arriving, I am in Australia, so will take a few weeks. Thanks for what looks like some yummy recipes and videos to expand my WFPB choices.
You can leave some of the broth out or thicken it with corn starch. Either will work fine. =)
Thanks Jill, I did both, but next time, I will use the extra broth as texture could have been more runny. Still tasted sensational. 😋
I made this and it was VERY tasty. I also had the problem of it turning out too liquid-y and I followed the recipe to a tee. I ended cooking it for an hour and it was still mushy, but delicious.
I just found your site via you tube. Love all of the bake / casserole ideas! I just bought new ceramic casserole dishes! So glad I found you. You are straight to the point and have a lovely demeanor.
Can this be frozen?
It can but it will be a little watery. You can just pour off a bit of the liquid after baking.
Hi Jill, love your show. I have made several of your recipes and love them all, I am mostly a sweets person. Recently love, love, loved the Apple Frittas recipe. I had 2 tonight after dinner. The recipe was easy to follow and quick with minimal ingredients. They taste awesome. I also made the Oatmeal Chocolate squares and shared with five grand children, who loved them too. I will be making both of these many times to come. I now have the nerves to try the carrot cake. I plan to make the Enchiladas too.
Fantastic! You will have to let me know what you think =)
Jill I just started transitioning to a whole food plant based lifestyle. I have tried recipes from various sources with most of them being a dud. I can honestly say, your recipes are the best. Every recipe I have tried have been absolutely delicious. Thanks so much for making this transition easier for me.
I am so glad you are enjoying the recipes. Life is too short to not enjoy your food and to know that it is super healthy =)
I just made this and it is awesome! I only made a couple small changes: medium-firm tofu (all I had) and spicy beer mustard. I will happily eat this all week!
oooo spicy beer mustard! Sound amazing!
Can this dish be made with swiss chard instead of kale?
It can but it might get a little watery because the swiss chard has way more water than kale.
I have this in my oven right now. I have made this about 3 times so far. I added left over spinach to the kale and onions and garlic and cooked it down before adding the potatoes and sauce
Allergic to mustard. What would be a good replacement in the sauce for this potato kale bake recipe?
You can just leave it out or use white miso
What can I use in place of tofu?
I’ve made this wonderful recipe again tonight, which is probably the tenth time since watching your video last year! I love this recipe so much! Last time I made it, I doubled the sauce and mixed the extra sauce with some homemade vegan ricotta to make the most delicious baked mac and cheese.
