Jacket Potato With Cauliflower Steak

-

By McDonald, T.  |  Date 10th of January 2022

Looking for a hearty meal on a cold winters night?  This is an outstanding vegan dinner that tastes every bit amazing as it sounds unusual.  If veganuary is something you have done for the first time, let me introduce you to this classic combination. 

You can have any topping that you like with the potato, such as:

As for the jacket potato, there are different ways to prepare it:

  • Crispy jacket
  • Soft skin

For the soft skin, wrap in tin foil.  For a crispy skin, cover in salt water and bake for 20 minutes then remove from the oven and coat in oil then retune to the oven until done.  

Once you have decided how you want your jacket potato, you will need to deicide if you want a sauce to go with the steak and if so, what sauce do you want?  Options are for example:

  • Peppercorn sauce
  • Honey and mustard sauce 
However, you could just have it with some mayonnaise or mango chutney.

How to prepare the cauliflower steak.

  1. Take all the leaves of the cauliflower and leave the stalk on since this will make it easier to cut out the steak.  
  2. Cut a steak about 2 cm thick from the centre of the cauliflower.  You should get 2 -3 steaks from each cauliflower.  
  3. Trim the stalk, but only a little of the end.
  4. Place in a backing tray.
  5. Add olive oil, black pepper, paprika and soya sauce to both sides of the steak.  

The steak will take about 25 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 degrees.

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.

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.
