Vegan Matzah Ball Soup

-

Written by  McDonald, T.  |  Date 29th of March 2021

This is very different from the traditional matzah ball because i can't get matzah meal anywhere in the local area. This meant i had to go with the potato balls, yes i did say potato.  However. the rest of the dish is very close to the traditional soup.  The chicken is replaced with Naked Glory Roast Tenderstrips, but you could use any chicken substitute you like.  This soup is a popular choice for passover.

Serves 1 

Ingredients 

  • Naked Glory Roast Tenderstrips 
  • Vegetable stock 
  • Carrot x 1/2
  • Celery x 1 stick
  • Onion x 1/4
  • Dill x a bunch
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Horseradish sauce (optional) x 1 tsp

For the Matzo balls  

Makes 2 balls

  • Potato x 120g
  • Ground almonds x 2 tsp or Matzah meal if you can get it
  • White pepper x 1/4 tsp
  • Parsley chopped x 1 tsp
  • Onion powder x 1/2 tsp
  • Paisley  x a bunch
  • Cayenne powder x a pinch
  • Salt x a pinch

Method

  1. Make the potato matzah balls by boiling and mashing the potato and adding the other ingredients.  Mix it all together and make balls of the mixture. Leave them on the side to the end.
  2. Cut up the veg and add to the stock.  
  3. Add the dill. 
  4. Add the Naked Glory Roast Tenderstrip.
  5. Simmer until Naked Glory Roast Tenderstrip is cooked and veg is tender.
  6. Server with the potato matzah balls.

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

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
