Vegan Sunday Roast

Mixed roasted veg with roasted sweet potato on a white plate

By McDonald, T.  |  Date 28th of Jan 2022

No Sunday in the UK is complete without a roast dinner.  This is a vegan roast that is simple and bursting with flavour.  For more roughage, keep the skins on because you don't really want to throw away all that goodness.   Amazingly, the sweet potato gives huge amounts of nutrition including a massive dose of vitamin A and some protein while the kale provides a great dose of vitamin K and the cabbage has vitamin C.  These vitamins are needed by the body for numerous functions, such as seeing in dim light and keeping the immune system healthy.  In addition, the kale provides some calcium, which good for bones and teeth. 

Ingredients

  • Sweet potato
  • Kale
  • Cabbage
  • Broccoli
  • Red chilli pepper
  • Parsnip 
  • Carrot   
  • Courgette (Zucchini)

Mixed veg in a white roasting dish

Method  

  1. Boil the sweet potato until it softens.  Place in a roasting dish with a lid, add the cabbage and cover with some oil.  Roast the potato and cabbage for 20 minutes at 200 degrees.  Add the kale and turn the sweet potato.  Roast for another 15 - 20 minutes at 200 degrees.
  2. Put the carrot, parsnip, courgette, chilli pepper and some kale in the smaller roasting dish. Add a little pomegranate juice, garlic purée, balsamic vinegar, a knob of vegan butter and a tiny amount of gravy.  The idea is that the veg soaks up the liquids rather than boil in them. Doing it this way will still allow the veg to roast, but draws in the extra flavours.  Cover the dish with a lid or foil and roast for 35 - 40 minutes at 200 degrees.  
Serve with some gravy and vegan horseradish sauce.  Hope you are enjoying Veganuary.  Either way, please leave a comment and subscribe to my blog.

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.
