Tagliatelle with Bacon and Mushrooms

-

Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 6th of March 2023 

This is quick and simple.  This dish is more about flavour than nutrition, so if you are looking for something low in calories, this is not it.  The mushrooms are tender and juicy and the sauce is full of flavour from the white wine and vegan cream.

Notes 

  • The fresher the mushrooms the better it is. 
  • I used free from hard cheese alternative from Tesco. 

 

Serves 2 

Time, about 20 minutes

 

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp of vegetable oil
  • 60 g of facon,
  • 3/4 cups of sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 of an onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp of fresh rosemary, minced
  • 2-3 pinches of ground cloves
  • 100g  tagliatelle
  • 1/4 cup of apple or pear juice
  • 1/4 cup of vegan cream
  • 1 tsp of nutritional yeast with B12 or vegan Parmesan. 
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Fry the mushrooms, onion and the facon in a frying pan with the oil and garlic. Fry until the onion is translucent, and the mushrooms are starting to soften.
  2. At the same time, boil the tagliatelle in a separate saucepan.
  3. Add the pear juice, cream, and clove.  Stir.
  4. Keep on a low heat.  Once the tagliatelle is ready, transfer it to the frying pan with the mushroom and cream.  Stir
  5. While still stirring, let it simmer for about 5 to 8 minutes. 
  6. Server with the vegan Parmesan sprinkled on top.

Vegan Stollen

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.
