    Talking of roasting, try roasting yellow turnip chips - they go really sweet.

    Having a few of these vegan Cornish pasties for dinner. Rehydrated soya chunks with swede and onion. Turned out great

    Hi guys. Here's my delicious vegan curry dinner from this eve. Plenty of spices, onions, cauliflower, broccoli, onion, garlic, raisins, red lentils, carrots, tomatoes, tomato purée, etc. & served with buckwheat.

    Lentil, beans, spinach with ginger ( big chewable chunks! ) stew type soup thingy. Satisfying.

    A takeaway from V in Temple Bar, their vegan junk box consisting of mozarella sticks, pulled "pork" nachos, bbq cauliflower, mac n cheese balls and fries with a garlic mayo dip. Epic.

    In fairness, it was an easy mistake to make. Violife is by far, my favorite vegan cheese.

    Breakfast today, I had Linda McCartney sausages, a mix of mushrooms, onion, tomatoes cooked in soy sauce, sesame oil, and harissa paste and 3 slices of toast with Violife Cheese spread and hummus.
    It was too tasty to stop for a photo!

    Hi a. I love LM Sausages with my dinner - steamed cabbage & carrots + microwaved sweet potatoes + veg gravy. That's the first time I've heard of Harissa Paste - where do you get that and the hummus? Thanks.

    Hummus handy enough to make when you get ingredient ratio right. Plenty of different brands in stores too.
    I seen Avantgardevegan on about harissa and I then stumbled across it in Aldi. Small jar, I bought a couple.
    Your bangers and mash has me hungry lol! Luckily right now I'm gonna tuck into some parsnip and cauliflower leaf/stem soup I made half hour ago.

    Tofu scramble on toast.
    - onion, tomato, red pepper, scallions, nutritional yeast, lemon rind, lime, avocado, soy sauce, thyme, cajun spice, turmeric and pepper.
    Boom!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,497 ✭✭✭auspicious


    Seriously good.
    Forgot I have some Violife cheese in there too.


  • Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 26,928 Mod ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Butter bean and veg stew, couscous, soya yogurt. Yum :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,510 ✭✭✭nikpmup


    Didn't stop long enough to get a picture, but I had a leek and fennel chickpea fritatta/omelette type thing, topped with grated violife cos why the hell not, served with baby new potatoes and a homemade mustard and dill cream sauce. When I'm good I'm good


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,497 ✭✭✭auspicious

    Yes leaves me wondering does it give the same effect like for example, expecting to drink apple juice when in fact it's white wine..

    Anyway I hope you can impress your customers again real soon.

    Thanks so much guys. I'm always trying to come up with more inventive ways to present vegan food to people and try not to toe the line of the options out there.

    Cant take credit for the idea, it's a guy Chef Ben Churchill on Instagram who's book is incredible on food illusions, I just veganised it...


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,786 ✭✭✭wakka12


    Thats unreal! Sounds so tasty but itd be hard to convince myself it wont taste like ashes before putting it in my mouth :P


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 490 Mod ✭✭✭✭TheKBizzle


    I know as mad it looks once I convinced my housemates, they inhaled it and said it was class and real tasty.

    Looking for rose harissa but can't seem to find any (tried Aldi and Lidl). Hard to find or should both of those have it in stock normally?

    You’ll get it in any middle eastern food store or stall. Tesco also stock it in some stores: https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=303852075
