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.    |  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...
