Explore CuisineSavvy recipes and articles tagged Oilfree.
This collection brings together CuisineSavvy recipes explicitly tagged Oilfree. It is a focused way to explore the catalogue without scrolling through every plant-based recipe on the site. Tags describe the recipe as published; they are not inferred from a title or from a search phrase. That makes the recipes here a more dependable match for the topic, while still leaving room for different cuisines, courses, cooking methods and levels of complexity.
Use the filter below to narrow these oilfree recipes by an ingredient, dish or cooking style, then sort the complete set by newest, oldest or HealthScore. Each recipe links to its full ingredients, method, declared allergens and nutrition panel, so you can compare the details that matter to you rather than relying on a label alone. Nutrition needs vary from person to person; where a category relates to a medical condition or prescribed diet, use the recipe data as a starting point and follow advice from your qualified healthcare professional.
A vibrant, crunchy side salad featuring finely shredded green cabbage and carrot ribbons dressed simply with fresh lime juice and aromatic dried oregano. This refreshing salad is perfect alongside tacos, burrito bowls, or any Mexican-inspired meal. Let it rest for 15 minutes before serving to allow the cabbage to soften and the flavours to meld beautifully.

A plant-based adaptation of Doña Ángela's Mole de Rancho from De Mi Rancho A Tu Cocina. This traditional Mexican ranch-style mole brings together three varieties of dried chillies — negro, mulato, and pasilla — with tomatillos, toasted sesame seeds, warm spices, and a corn tortilla thickener to create a dark, complex, glossy sauce. King oyster mushroom strips and black beans replace the chicken, simmered directly in the mole for a hearty, satisfying main course. Heart-healthy preparation uses dry-toasting and minimal oil, with dates replacing refined sugar and unsweetened cacao adding depth. Serve with warm corn tortillas.

A vibrant, tangy jar of classic Mexican pickled vegetables, featuring tender carrot slices, crisp cauliflower florets, and fiery jalapeños bathed in a lightly spiced apple cider vinegar brine. This wholly plant-based escabeche is wonderfully versatile — serve it alongside tacos, rice dishes, or grilled corn, or simply enjoy it straight from the jar as a punchy, low-sodium condiment. The brine is naturally acidic and beautifully aromatic, with whole garlic cloves, bay leaves, and black peppercorns lending depth without a single drop of anything animal-derived.
