Vegan Bacon Cheese Burger

-

Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 21st of February 2022

Why should any vegan miss out?  Well, we don't.  This is an amazing burger that will have you wanting more!  Tofu may not sound exciting, but when prepared correctly, which takes minimal effort, it happens to taste very meaty when fried.  You can make these burgers as big or as small as you like, or even double them up.  

Ingredients

  • Tofu 80 g slice is small, 120 g slice is big, 160 g slice is a whopper!
  • Vegan cheese slice x 1
  • This is not bacon rashers  x 2
  • Vegan bun x 1
  • BBQ sauce x 1 tsp

Method

  1. Fry the tofu in some vegetable oil for 8 minutes on each side on a medium heat. Cooking appliances may vary, so keep an eye on it; you don't want it to burn just crisp a little.
  2. Fry the bacon sub as per instructions. 
  3. Add the vegan cheese on top of the tofu in the pan, so it melts. 
  4. Put the tofu in the bun, placing the facon on top. 
  5. Add some onion.
  6. Spread some BBQ sauce on the inside of the top bun and put a dollop of tomato or chilli relish on top of the facon.  
  7. Serve with salad and chips.

Results 

This turn out better than you might expect.  The tofu is great when it is pressed all night and lightly fried in vegetable oil.  Once the cheese and substitute bacon are on top with the sauce, you will be in dream land!  Really fantastic!

 

You can, if you want, also add some onion rings to the burger. 


I hope you decide to give this a try.  If you do,  please let me know how you got on in the comments below.  Bye for now!

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.
