-

Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 20th of March 2023

Looking for something tasty that doesn't make you feel bloated?  I loved this dish because it was so tasty and light on my stomach.  Interestingly enough, I got this recipe from a chief in an eating disorder clinic and made a few alterations to it to reduce the calories and make it vegan.  Nonetheless, it still has a lot of flavour and packs some great nutrition.

Notes

  • Follow the link for how to make the Greek style yoghurt sauce.
  • You can add a bit of pale cream sherry to the aubergine while it is frying.

Serves 1

Time – 20 minutes


Ingredients 

  • Aubergine x 2 thick slices
  • Rice x 1/4 cup (dried)
  • Mixed veg 100 g
  • Soya sauce x 1 tbsp
  • Balsamic vinegar x tbsp
  • Yoghurt sauce x 1 serving
  • Salt x a pinch

Apparatus

  • Medium sized frying pan with a lid. 
  • Small saucepan.
  • Wooden spatula.

Method

  1. Start boiling the brown rice with the mixed veg in the same saucepan. 
  2. Pour the balsamic vinegar and soya sauce into the frying pan. (on oil). Turn up to a medium heat.
  3. Cut 2 thick slices of aubergine and place then in the frying pan and put the lid on. 
  4. Add the salt and keep turning until both sides have darkened. 
  5. Drain the rice and place on a plate. Put the aubergine steaks on top of the rice. 
  6. Add the yoghurt sauce to the side of the plate and garnish with coriander and nutritional yeast.

Results

The tender and juicy aubergine was full of flavour!  The rice was great with the veg and it all went great together with the Greek style yoghurt sauce.  What an amazing dinner!  In addition, I was left satisfied without feeling heavy.

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. ...

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...
