Caramelised Apple and Tempeh

-


By McDonald, T.  |  Date 5th of February 2021 

I love being a vegan because it gets me trying new things and this is definitely different.  It makes a great snack or side dish to support your main meal.  The apple is juicy and succulent going perfectly with the tender leak.  Just look at that apple, so tenter and sweet.  I feel that garnishing with basil really complements the flavours of this unusual dish.  Being a vegan is one of the best things you can do for yourself and this planet so why not give this dish a try and share it with your friends.

Ingredients

  • Apple
  • Tempeh
  • Leak
  • Chilli pepper
  • Sultanas 

For marinade 

  • Olive oil
  • Cider vinegar
  • Teriyaki
  • Garlic granules
  • Water  

Method

  1. Cut the tempeh into slices and put into of tub with a lid.  Add the marinade and leave for 2 hours of more. 
  2. Heat up a frying pan and fry the marinaded tempeh with the sliced apple and sliced leak until the tempeh starts to golden. 
  3. Add some of the marinade to create steam and add the sultanas and chipped chilli pepper then cover the pan. 
  4. Keep checking and turning the tempeh, apple and leak until leak and apple is soft and tempeh ins a nice golden brown.  
  5. Take the lid off at the end if you need too so the liquids reduces, but not so it becomes a stick mess. 

Garnish and serve after standing for one minute.  You real have to give this one a try because it is so full of flavour.  Please let me know what you think in the comments, share with your friends and subscribe for more.

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. ...

The Price of Ignorance

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? 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...
