Fake sausages: are they worth it?

Do you miss a good old fry up?  Are you having trouble converting to a vegetarian diet?  After years of trying i finally have found these chipolata style sausages from Plant Chef by Tesco.  I have to say that i loved these sausages and found myself asking are they really plant based?  Yes, they are that good!  So yes, i think these are worth trying.

Here is my recipe for a vegetarian fry up.  

Ingredients

  • 2 Plant Chef chipolata sausages 
  • 1 egg
  • Small amount of onion
  • Small amount of bell pepper
  • Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp of garlic grapnels
  • 3 button mushrooms
  • 2 peeled plumb tomatoes
  • Coriander 
  • Chips or hash browns

Method 

  1. Put the chips in a preheated oven.  
  2. Make the omelet mix by mixing together the egg, diced bell pepper, diced onion, chopped mushroom, diced cheese, garlic granules and coriander.  Leave to the side for now.
  3. Fry the chipolatas for 2 minutes each side and then put in the oven for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat the tomatoes in a saucepan.  

Options  

You can add some veg like i have done or have some baked beans with it instead. 

Top Tip 

Use an egg ring for the omelet.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of December 2023   This is something I have heard of, but never tried before.  Usually, we have traditional Christmas cake in my house, but last year I wanted to try something different and this was it.  Rest assured, I will be having it again this year too! At first, it seems like a lot of effort, but you will soon see that it is straight forward to make and definitely worth it.  However, it will need proofing and the dried fruit will need soaking, which will all take time, so plan ahead.  Notes I used French Brandy Marzipan and so used brandy to flavour the raisins and cranberries. I used almond milk. A good tip is to dust the soaked fruit with a little flour before adding the dough. You have 3 options with the marzipan:  Roll it out  Chop it up Have a thick bar of it running through the centre I soaked the dried fruit in brandy, but you can make it without the alcohol is you wish or use rum instead. I used a silicon baking sheet to save on the

Rum And Raisin Loaf

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 27th of November 2023   Whatever the occasions, this is a great treat to be had.  The rum soaks into the raisins and results in a perfect infusion of flavours. The rum adds flavour to the raisins while the raisins add sweetness to the run.  This beautiful bread as a great bready texture, yet is fruity and warming to the soul. Although it doesn't need it, you can choose to dust it with icing sugar.

No yeast, so no proofing it is ready so fast and bakes in 45 minutes. The result is a sweet tasting cake that you can cut into slices and eat like bread. Notes Don't beat the batter or it will turn out tough after baking.   If you use Green Ginger Wine, be sure it is vegan.     Ingredients  Dry  300 g of self-raising flour 120 g of dark brown sugar 2 tsp of ground ginger   5 crystallised ginger cut into pieces 30 g of grated fresh ginger 1 tsp of ground cloves 1 tsp of mixed spice 1/4 tsp of salt 1 tsp of baking powder Wet 40 ml of vegetable oil  240 ml of water  150 g (about 4 tbsp) of plan or vanilla vegan yoghurt 50 ml of ginger wine 2 tbsp of dark syrup   Method Add all the dry ingredients to a
