This is a quick and tasty dip that is great as an accompaniment too.  You can make it as hot as you like and leave out any ingredients that upset your stomach. I tend to leave out onion and garlic because they can cause the IBS to flair up. Still, with this recipe, I don't miss out.

 

Ingredients

  • Tinned tomatoes x 200 g
  • Tomato paste x 4 tbsp
  • Balsamic vinegar x 1 tbsp
  • Chilli powder x 1/2 tsp
  • Ground cumin x 1/8 tsp
  • Ground paprika x 1/2 tsp
  • Ground black pepper x 1/8 tsp 
  • Jalapeño peppers, pickled x 2 tbsp
  • Lime our lemon juice x 2 tsp

Method

  1. Using a hand blender, blend the tinned tomatoes until smooth in a bowl.
  2. Add the tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, spices, pickled jalapeño peppers, and pepper to a saucepan and add the tinned tomatoes you just blended. 
  3. Heat on a low to medium heat for 10 minutes. Don't let it boil.  Stir regularly. 
  4. Allow to cool and poor into a suitable jar.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 23rd of December 2022   Getting frustrated with the lack of vegan options lately?  Well, this one is so easy to solve.  It has just four ingredients and is ready in minutes, and you can make it as strong as you like.  In addition, it goes great with Christmas pudding or Christmas cake and is fine hot or cold. Notes I used almond milk because almond and brandy flavours go nicely together. Keeps for about a week in an airtight container in the fridge. Check the brandy is vegan. Makes 5 – 6 servings. Time, 10 minutes.   Ingredients 400 ml of vegan milk 60 g of sugar 25 g of cornflour 6 tbsp of brandy Method Except for 2 tablespoons of the vegan milk, boil the milk with the sugar while stirring until the sugar has dissolved.  Take off the heat. Mix the cornflour with the remaining milk and whisk it into the hot milk and sugar and put back on the heat. Keep whisking. Bring back to the boil and remove.  Stir in th...
