Nutritional yeast maybe?

I thought she was referencing an exchange we had on another thread. Now it's been brought to my attention I guess it does actually. Perhaps had I put it in to a bowl with a brighter and wider camera shot and a sprig of coriander it wouldn't have had garnered such interest.
Anyway if that's the quality of grub they serve inside, while I'll always avoid the place, if the unforseen ever did happen I'll be safe in the knowledge that I'll clean my plate each and every time. No lips or hooves in my food.
(That's nutritional yeast on top of rice.)

Sweet and sour and satay veg from the local.

Vegetarian, not vegan (they have feta in, but I'm sure there's plenty of vegan alternatives) but I had pea and mint fritters from an ottolenghi cookbook for me tea. Very nice indeed.

Had the Persian Tomato and Cauliflower One Pot thing from Aldi for my tea when I got in from work yesterday and that was very nice as well, nice big chunks of cauliflower in it. Those one pot things are excellent, very filling and tasty.

Holy nooch batman! How does the rice taste with the extra nooch on top? I find that it can be a bit over powering when not mixed / cooked in. Anything else in the rice or just boiled (maybe a stock in the rice?).

auspicious

I put 3 or 4 cardamon pods/seeds and a star anise in the water while boiling the rice. Learned that one from Gordon Ramsey vid.
The curry was so rich that the nooch was lost in it. Had apple in there too.

I'm eyeing up this baby to make today or tomorrow. He has a vid on his youtube channel too.

Nice, apple in curry sauce is excellent. My OH makes a mean chipshop curry sauce from scratch. First time I had ever seen apple used in a curry!

Gonna be all over this thread soon.

Photos will include recipes.

Just wish I could show photo, not link, from phone but don’t think it’s possible ?

I use postimages.org, then select Hotlink for Forums option, and remove the anchor tag.

Think it’s mad you can’t post photo straight from phone and I loathe to post a link.

I know, it's a pain
I guess server storage and bandwidth are not up to the task.

I'm looking at my phone now. I switched to touch because, I'll admit, I prefer the desktop site. But yes, I can see just under "post your reply" that there's a paperclip symbol. Start from there.

Made this yesterday.

Non meat cottage/shepherds pie. Used a tin of green lentils from aldi I usually precook the dried lentils in a stock cude to make sure theyre soft. Not the most appetitising photo, just had some for lunch, even better today.

I made shepherdless pie a few weeks back and ended up with 10 portions in the freezer. Nothing better than having something hearty like that for lunch the next day imo. What did you use for the sauce?

I fry the veg a bit then add half a tin of tomatoes and a stock cude or 2.

The lentils usually help thicken it up but if its still a bit watery I might add some bisto powder or arrowroot to help thicken it.

We've only a tiny freezer but most things get eaten within a day or so.
A small chest freezer will be needed soon

No chicken nuggets from Aldi and baked beans with a little McDonalds curry thrown in. Lazy vegan.

Hi auspicious. Looks delicious! Is that 'Plant Menu' No Chicken Nuggets?

Yes. I'll definitely get them again.
They seem to have discontinued the no chicken burgers which I was a fan of.
I had the roast too a couple of days ago. The immediate taste I got from it actually was turkey. Adli has done well. I must try Tesco's offers soon.

Made this Vegan dirty fries with vegan cheese sauce topped with confit jackfruit in a bbq sauce.

Lovely.

Looks like a few big dirty cashews in there too.

Breakfast

Homemade granola.

Can be served with a simple (mild flavoured) yoghurt. I like a mild vanilla but mostly will choose a coconut yoghurt.
