Wicked Kitchen No Beef Wellington with roasted veg and sweet potato
By McDonald, T.  |  Date 2nd of Jan 2021

Wicked Kitchen Wicked Wellington does make for a great centrepiece for your Sunday roast.  This is a well crafted mock meat rolled in light flaky pastry that will impress even the most hardened meat fans.  Great for festivals like Christmas, New Year, Rosh Hashanah, Easter or even just as a Sunday Lunch. 

Severs 3-4

Ingredients

  • Wicked Wellington.
  • Roasted veg,
    • Sweet potato with the skin on.
    • Carrots.
    • Parsnips.
    • Courgettes.
  • Boiled veg,
    • Kale.
    • Cabbage.
    • Brussels sprouts.
  • Nutritional yeast with B12.
  • Vegan gravy granules. 
  • Knob of vegan butter. 
  • Olive oil.
  • Balsamic vinegar 

Method

Since you don't have to really make anything, this is really easy! The roasted veg will take about 15-20 minutes on each side.  I add the knob of vegan butter to the top of the parsnips and drizzle a little balsamic vinegar on the courgettes.  Since there is a larger verity of veg in this roast dinner, you will not need large amounts of any particular veg.   About 30g of each type of veg per person is enough; however, you will need more potato, so I suggest about 130g per person of sweet potato.  The nutritional yeast goes in the gravy for that extra taste and nutrition.

Using sweet potato gives more vitamin A, which is good for the skin and roughage (fibre), which is good for preventing constipation among other things. According to the NHS (2018): 

'There is strong evidence that eating plenty of fibre (commonly referred to as roughage) is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer. '

Furthermore, that great assortment of vegetables will give plenty of other vitamins such as vitamins C and K.  When it comes to the vegan butter, choose the unsalted variety since your food will provide you with enough salt, as you know, too much salt is not good for your blood pressure.

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.
