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.    |  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...
