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.

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.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 18th of March 2024 You will never believe just how easy this cake bread is. So tasty, so moist and good! The preparation is mega quick because all you have to do is mix it all together and pour the batter in a loaf tin and it is ready to go in the oven. 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
