Recipes to Bring Deliciousness to Your Table this Christmas
Two more blog posts before Christmas. I haven’t heard what you are up to this Christmas. I would love to know, maybe you don’t celebrate or maybe you do or it’s a quiet time of relaxation for you. Whatever it is I’d love to know.
This week I share recipes for those who like a more traditional Christmas feast. These recipes go well with the Nut Roast Wellington I shared some posts back and also with the Carrot recipe.
Everything is super filling so you may end up having left overs. Recipes serve 4 -6 people.
Graduation Potatoes
These potatoes are a version of the recipe developed in the 2018 Vegan Chef Graduation Training. The very competent grad chefs put on a 4 course lunch for 70 guests for their graduation ceremony, these potatoes were developed by them. If you don’t have a food ring you can bake the potato in a baking dish and serve it in one dish rather than individually.
Ingredients
1 kg potatoes peeled and roughly cut
½ cup cashew cheese
¼ cup vegan butter
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp oil
Method
- Cook the potatoes until tender in a saucepan of salted water.
- Mash the potatoes and stir in the cashew cheese, season with salt and pepper.
- Oil the inside of the food ring and place the ring on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Fill the food ring with the mashed potato and then slide the food ring off. You may need to lift the food ring up a bit and push the potato out. Repeat process until all of the mash is molded.
- Cover the top of each mashed potato stack with the vegan butter.
- Place in a 190°C oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until brown and crisp on top.
Tempeh Stuffing Balls
Ingredients
300g tempeh crumbled
1 cup bread crumbs or rice crumbs or toasted bread (crumbled)
6 sage leaves finely chopped
1 onion and 2 garlic cloves fried for 4 minutes in a splash of oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp lemon juice
¼ cup water chestnuts or macadamia nuts chopped
3 tbsp plant milk
Method
- Mix everything together in a bowl.
- Shape into balls or place in a baking dish.
- Bake the balls of stuffing mix in a dish in the oven for 30 minutes or until browned.
Mushroom Gravy
Greens
Green veg of your choice, steamed and then lightly salted and drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
