Cabbage Wraps With Spicy Filling

-

Written by  McDonald, T.  |  Date 8th of April 2021

This is a great polish dish that is veganised with comparative ease.  This is diffidently different with a great spicy flavour.  When it is cooked this way, it resembles lasagna.  Maybe that is why it goes well with chips and salad or avocado. 

Serves 2

Ingredients 

  • Cabbage leaves x 4 
  • Vegan white sauce 
  • Vegan cheese (optional) about 30g grated 

Filling 

  • Black beans x 30g
  • Pinto beans x 30g
  • Sweetcorn x 60g
  • Chopped tomatoes x 30g
  • Peas x 30g 
  • Carrot x 30g
  • Onion x 1/4
  • Garam masala x 1 tsp
  • Goan x 1 tsp
  • Turmeric x 1/2 tsp
  • White pepper x 1/2 tsp
  • Balsamic vinegar x 1 tbsp
  • Teriyaki sauce x 1 tbsp
  • Chilli pepper x 1/2 
  • Vegetable stock cube x 1
  • Marmite x 1 tsp (optional, it gives a more beefy taste)
  • Nutritional yeast x 1 tsp

Method 

  1. Prepare the beans if you have dried ones by soaking overnight and boiling for 30-40 and drain. 
  2. Dice finely the carrot and mushroom.
  3. Fry the onions, carrot and mushroom.with the spices and beans in a little olive oil in a saucepan for about.   
  4. Add everything else that is for the filling and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  5. While you are making the filling, boil the cabbage leaves to soften them or you will find it difficult to roll them.
  6. In the baking dish, roll up the cabbage leaves with the filling.
  7. Cover with vegan white sauce and top with the grated vegan cheese.
  8. In a preheated oven, bake for 30 minutes. 

You might find that the filling is a bit runny, which means it wasn't reduced enough.  You can use cornflour to thicken it up and don't worry if some leaks out of the ends.  Another option is to add lentils, which will add to the texture.

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...
