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.    |  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...
