Skinny Pan Lasagna

-

Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 15th of January 2024 

Fancy a lasagna, but think it is too much hassle?  Well, this might just be what you are looking for!  This is so easy and tasty that you will never think lasagna is too much trouble again.  In fact, you will likely be having lasagna a lot more.  All you need is a large frying pan.

Notes

  • Textured Vegetable Protein has been a favourite mince substitute for as long as I can remember.  It is easy to prepare, just add water.  I get mine from Holland and Barrett. 
  • Any yeast extract will do such as marmite or Vegemite. 

Serves 4

Time – 30 minutes

Ingredients 

  • Lasagna sheets x 5
  • TVP x 8 tbsp
  • Carrot x 70 g
  • Onion x 1/2 a large
  • Garlic x 4 cloves
  • Black pepper x 1 tbsp
  • Yeast extract x 1 tbsp
  • Cider vinegar x 50 ml
  • Fresh basil x to taste
  • Plain vegan yoghurt x 150 g
  • Ground clove x 1/2 a tsp
  • Vegan cheese x 20 g
  • Slices of tomato for decoration

Method

  1. Soak the pasta sheets.
  2. Soak the tvp in hot water from the kettle.  Mix in the yeast extract.
  3. Chop the onion and carrot then fry with the crushed garlic in a large frying pan with a lid.
  4. Add the tvp, cider vinegar and pasta sauce. Leave to simmer for 5 minutes. 
  5. Add the chopped basil and black pepper. 
  6. Place the pasta sheets evenly over the tvp sauce. 
  7. In a small bowl, mix the yoghurt and ground clove. With a spoon, evenly spread the yoghurt mix over the top of the lasagna sheets.
  8. Add the cheeses evenly over the top.
  9. Top with a few slices of tomatoes if you wish.
  10. Allow to cook on a low heat with the lid on for about 25 minutes. 




Results 

I was very pleased with the way this turned out and will be making this again soon.  It was so easy to make and absolutely delicious with chips and salad.

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.

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 cats to
