Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 10th of April 2023  If you are going to have a vegan doner kebab, you might as well make some chilli sauce to go with it.  You can, of course, have chilli sauce with anything that you like!  Personally, I think it goes well with most mock meats.   This spicy tomato sauce is easy to make, and I will show you the version you don't need to cook.

Stewing Sauce

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 27th of February 2023 I use this sauce to stew mushrooms, peppers, and onions.   However, it can be used in a stir-fry or as gravy.  This is a mild sauce with a little sweetness to it.  I live the beautiful dark colour it has and the way it can be spiced up if you need. 

Fancy Vegan Frizzles

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 13th of February 2023 This is a wild West that was still popular in the 1930s. In the past people used to have it on toast, but in later years people use it as a topping for a baked potato.   The original recipe called for thin slices of beef chopped up.  I will be using some facon bits and a little TVP , textured vegetable protein. 

Brandy Sauce For Vegans

Image
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 the brandy.  Results It reminded me of custard

Stores for days in the fridge.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 10th of October 2022 Garlic sauce is great with kebabs, salads and many other foods.  There is no great secret to making this strong flavoured creamy white sauce, so anyone can easier make it.  I use it as a sauce on some dishes and as a dip.  I love to dip white cabbage and sticks of carrot into it.

Vegan Sauces For Your Steak Or Pasta

Image
By McDonald, T.   |  Date 6th of March 2021  Whether you are having a fake steak or vegetable steak you may well want a sauce to go with it for that extra little bit of moister and taste.  Peppercorn Sauce Ingredients Cracked black peppercorns. 1/4 Red onion per person. Vegan milk alternative. Vegan double cream alternative.  Vegetable stock. Method. Sauté the chopped onion with the cracked peppercorn in a frying pan with some olive oil.   Blend in a blender with vegetable stock.  You are not going to need a lot of stock, so don't over do it you can always add in more if you need to. Add the resulting mixture, which should be like a paste, to a saucepan.   Heat and stir in the vegan milk and vegan cream with a whisk.  Add some plain white flower to thicken.  Add just a little at a time and keep stirring until you reach a satisfactory viscosity for the sauce.  Maple Syrup And Mustard Sauce Ingredients  Vegan Mustard (I usually use French brown mustard) Maple Syrup Water  Pi
