Vegan Honey And Mustard Chickenless

-

Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 26th of July 2021

This is my veganised take on the classic dish Honey and Mustard Chicken.  The sauce is sweet and mustardy with tender pieces of tofu in place of the chicken.  The honey can be replaced by any number of sweetness such as maple syrup, pineapple juice or brown sugar.  It is possible to use any veg that you like in place of the ones i have used. The tofu, mushroom and mustard sauce are the main ingredients.

Severs 2 

Ingredients 

  • Tofu 200g
  • Onion x 0.5 medium sized
  • Garlic x 3 gloves
  • Broccoli x 60g
  • Cabbage x 60g
  • Carrots x 1 medium sized
  • Parsnips x 1 small
  • Courgette  x 80g
  • Mushrooms x 4 or 5 medium sized

 Sauce

  • Mustard powder x 1 heaped tsp
  • English Mustard x 1 heaped tsp
  • Brown sugar or pineapple juice to taste
  • Apple cider vinegar x 2 tbsp
  • Water x 0.5 cup

Method 

  1. Prepare the tofu.
  2. Cut the veg into bite size pieces.
  3. Boil the veg just enough to part soften it.
  4. Fry the tofu, veg, onion and garlic in a saucepan in a little oil.
  5. Put the veg in the frying pan with the tofu.
  6. Mix the sauce ingredients together and add to the frying pan. 
  7. Cover and leave to simmer for about 10 minutes on a low heat. 
  8. Serve with potato, rice or pasta. 

Results 

Beautiful sweet mustard sauce with tender pieces of tofu and veg.  I love every mouthful of this.  If needed, i found it is OK to use some gram flour or cornstarch to thicken the sauce to get the desired viscosity. I served mine with new potatoes, which worked really well.  As ever, preparing the tofu correctly was key to the dish.

I hope you decide to give this a try. If you do, please let me know what you thought in the comments or on twitter.  Please like, share with your friends and subscribe.

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...
