Saludos queridos, como lo mencioné en mi post anterior estaré compartiendo opciones veganas de hallacas, el plato navideño típico de mi país Venezuela, en Navidad toda los miembros de la familia deben ser unidos y nadie debería sentirse excluido de las cenas navideñas, por eso si tienen familiares veganos esta es una bonita forma de demostrar el amor que tienen por ellos, ya que no es muy complicado hacer un espacio en la preparación de la hallacas con carne para hacer una opción con vegetales para aquellos miembros de la familia. Mi post anterior fue una opción con brócoli y coliflor, pero esta segunda opción la hago con soya, espero les guste.

Resultado / Result
I hope you liked this other vegan Hallaca option, the good thing about using dehydrated soy as an ingredient is that it resembles ground meat so even people who are not used to vegan food will not notice any change in the taste of the Hallaca, since it is the other ingredients that give it its aromas and taste.
