Garlic Mushroom And Cheesy Peppers With Sweet Potato Mash

-

By McDonald, T.  |  Date 20th of July 2020

A really tasty meal that is easily veganised by swapping the cheese for a vegan cheese alternative. If you fancy something different and meaty, try this.  The potato is delicious and a great sauce of roughage (fibre).

Serves one 
Ready in 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 sweet pepper
  • Grated cheese (Go vegan!)
  • Garlic granules
  • 1/2 a sweet potato
  • Big Mushroom
  • Garlic infused olive oil 
  • Green beans 

Apparatus

  • Roasting tin with lid
  • Small saucepan
  • Something to baste the mushroom 
  • Masher 
  • Sharp knife 
  • chopping board 
  • Potato peeler 
  • lettuce 
  • a few cherry tomatoes 
  • 5cm of cucumber  
  • a few olives

Method

Peel the sweet potato and cut into small pieces then place in the saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook about 15 min or until the potato is soft. While the potato is boiling, slice the sweet red pepper in half longways and then cut the halves in two. Place the pieces in the roasting tin and lightly cover with cheese and garlic granules. Baste the mushroom in the garlic infused olive oil and place in the roasting tin with the green beans. Cover and place in the over for 15 mins on 180. Drain and mash the potato with a little garlic infused olive oil and serve with the salad, green beans, cheesy peppers and mushroom.

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Updated 24th of March 2024 Yorkshire puddings are a tasty part of Sunday dinner in the UK not to mention Christmas and Easter.  With this in mind, a vegan alternative is required to satisfy the patriots dinner plate.  I looked for a long time and tried many different recipes, but in the end I had to alter the best basic vegan recipe to make it perfect.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
