Vegan Onion Sauce

Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 31st of March 2021

If you need a sauce to spruce up your dinner whether it is a cauliflower steak, a mock meat steak or just to go on some veg, this is a great choice.  It is easy to make and very versatile too. 

  • Onion 
  • Plain white flour x 1 or 2 tbsp depending on desired viscountcy
  • Vegan milk x 50ml
  • Mustard powder x 1/2 tsp
  • Garlic granules x 1/2 tsp
  • Vegetable stock  
  • Salt to taste
  • White pepper to taste
  • Vegan sweeter (optional)

Method

  1. Cut the onion up and place in a blender. Pulse until the onion is just starting to turn into a paste, but still has biggish chunks.  Scrape into a saucepan with some oil and fry until the onion starts to caramelise. 
  2. Add the garlic granules and mustard powder.  Keep stirring. 
  3. Add the vegetable stock and then the milk.  Keep stirring. 
  4. Add the vegan sweetener, which could be brown sugar or pineapple juice or maple syrup or whatever you like. (Optional)
  5. Sieve in the flour and stir using a whisk.  
  6. Add the salt and white pepper to taste. 
  7. Keep stirring until until you reach the desired viscosity.  If it is to runny, add more flour.  If it is to thick add more vegan milk. 

Result

 You should have a lovely white sauce that is pourable without being to runny.  Enjoy!

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.
