By McDonald, T.   |  Date 31st of July 2023 At first, I thought this was not going to be that good.  How wrong I was!  This is truly great in so many ways.  It tastes great and has a superb texture.  It is great in a sandwich or on a jacket potato as a topping.  Easy and cheap to make; you will not regret making this.

It is vegan much like a pizza, but on flat bread.  Unlike pizza, which has many variations of toppings, lahmacun has one type of topping, which is like bolognaise sauce. Although some people use the oven method, I think that makes it too much like a pizza, so I prefer to stovetop method to keep it a little more different. Notes  You can wrap it up like a burrito or cut it into slices like a pizza. For that little extra, add a couple of teaspoons of vegan red pesto to the sauce.   Makes 1 lahmacun Time 15 – 20 minutes   Ingredients  For base Strong bread flour x 80 g Water x 40 ml Salt x a pinch For sauce Tomato x 1 medium Tomato purée x 1 tbsp Garlic x 1 clove crushed Lemon juice from 1/2 a lemon Cumin powder x a pinch TVP x 20 g Chilli pepper x 1/2 For extra topping A few slices of onion A few pieces of chopped tomatoes Small amount of vegan cheese A chilli pepper Fresh herbs Method Ste...

With this in mind, salad seems like a good idea.  However, this is a salad with a difference.  The sweet taste of the apple combined with the spicy sriracha and bang bang sauce is something else! 

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 5th of June 2023 A vinaigrette is a great way to add a little more flavour to your salads or even couscous.  It is extremely easy and quick to make with many variations.  This vinaigrette is a basic one that can be altered to suit your needs.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 29th of May 2023  I was surprised at how quick and easy this dinner was to make.   Pizzaiola or Carne Pizzaiola was originally an Italian meat dish.  However, the meat has been replaced with cauliflower and the cheese swapped for vegan alternatives to make it vegan. This is a wonderful dish that is high in vitamin C.
