This recipe came from the BBC site, here. The changes I’ve made are: To use 290g cherries in kirsch rather than 390g. That’s just because that’s the only size jar I could find. Replace coconut oil with vegan margarine, Flora Buttery. Otherwise the coconut taste comes through too strongly. I made 24 out of the…
Breadsticks – quick and easy
Yes, you could buy breadsticks but these are easy to make and will have that non-uniform look of homemade produce that people love. You’ll see in the photos that some of these are rolled and some twisted. The twisted ones are much quicker to do so I’ll stick with them from now on. I wish…
Tofu dhansak
Dhansak makes use of lentils to create a thick and somewhat sweet sauce that’s not very hot so everyone can enjoy it. Usually made with mutton or chicken, I’ve switched the meat for extra firm tofu and the ghee for plant-based margarine to make this a vegan dish. This recipe has a lot of ingredients…
Poached egg with mushroom and leaves
I light lunch time snack for one. Feeling a bit more hungry, just add another egg. The tarragon is completely optional but it goes so well with mushroom that it’s almost illegal to do it without. Serves: 1 Ingredients 1 large flat mushroom 1 egg 6 sprays of sunflower oil 1/2 tsp dried tarragon 1/2…
Red lentil, chickpea and spinach curry
Red lentils give a lovely texture as a base to a stew or curry. They are inexpensive and require no soaking so don’t take long to cook. I served this with fragranced rice but it works just as well with flat breads. I’ll post a recipe for 2-ingredient flat breads soon. I’ve just realised I…
Baked vegetable frittata
This one isn’t vegan, i’m using real eggs but I am using soya yoghurt. It’s nice on it’s own but also great with a little rice Serves: 4 Ingredients 180g leek, about 1 whole leek, roughly chopped 250g bell pepper, about 2 whole peppers, roughly chopped 150g mushrooms, roughly chopped 6 whole eggs 2 cloves…
No-egg meringue, vegan
Aquafaba, the miracle alternative to egg white. No, I couldn’t believe it either so I thought I’d try to make meringues with it. After all, meringue is the one dish where you MUST have egg whites! Right? What is aquafaba? It’s the water from tinned peas/beans. I used chickpea water from a tin I got…
Vegan Christmas ginger and coconut biscuits/cookies
I do like a ginger biscuit (cookie) but since I went non-dairy I have to watch what’s on the packet because most things are made with some kind of cheap milk derivative, so I had to find an alternative. I made these with coconut oil and you can taste coconut. Maybe I’ll try margarine next…
Christmas is coming III
Vegan Christmas Cake – the feeding I finished the bake on Tuesday but I’ve been too busy to post the update until now. It took 2 1/4 hours for the bake to finish and then I left the cake to cool in the tin for a few hours. You really need a day when you’re…
Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff
Usually made with beef but often substituted with mushrooms, this dish still uses cream but I’ve just switched that for soya yoghurt to make it vegan. Serves: 4 Ingredients 450g mushrooms, torn by hand into bitesize chunks I used some white and some shiitake 1 leek, finely chopped 3 cloves of garlic, crushed 1 tbsp…
