Smoked Tofu Steaks
These tofu steaks have a really lovely flavour and texture. They’re quite firm, lovely and crisp on the outside, and they’re packed with savoury flavour. Smoked tofu already has a delicious smoky flavour, it’s then marinated to give it even more of an umami kick. They’re delicious hot or cold, and they’re really handy to… Continue reading Smoked Tofu Steaks
Broccoli & Cauliflower Cheese Soup
This comforting, cosy soup is a delicious combination of broccoli, cauliflower and vegan smoked cheese. The cheesy element comes from smoked tofu, nutritional yeast and a few other seasonings. Meaning this recipe doesn’t call for any vegan cheese or cashews. I realise vegan cheese isn’t for everyone, and cashews can be expensive, so I’ve been… Continue reading Broccoli & Cauliflower Cheese Soup
Roasted Vegetable & Vegan Feta Tart
Golden puff pastry, topped with a roasted red pepper and roasted tomato sauce, slowly roasted vegetables and baked tofu-style feta. This is lovely eaten hot or cold, and it’s easy to customise the vegetables to suit you. I chose to use red onion, aubergine and courgette, this combination worked really well with the sauce and… Continue reading Roasted Vegetable & Vegan Feta Tart
Roasted Garlic & Shiitake Mushroom Pâté
This pâté is deliciously garlicky, with a lovely smoked flavour, in addition to the deeply savoury mushroom flavour. It’s also a good source of protein, and is delightful when eaten on toast, crackers, or slices of fresh bread. I used shiitake mushrooms for this, but other mushrooms would work too. This contains a whole bulb… Continue reading Roasted Garlic & Shiitake Mushroom Pâté
Roasted Leek & Lardon Linguine
Linguine stirred through sweet roasted leeks and smokey meat free bacon lardons in a rich dairy free sauce. This recipe is easy to make and comes together in just 30 minutes. I realise that mock meats aren’t for everyone, so if you’re not a fan, try replacing them with the same amount of diced smoked… Continue reading Roasted Leek & Lardon Linguine
Creamy Vegan Salmon Pasta
This creamy, rich pasta dish combines tender, flaky plant based salmon, a smoky dairy free sauce, penne and vegetables. Vivera salmon style fillets work really well in this dish, they’re available to buy from Tesco and Morrisons. The sauce is made by blending together firm tofu, plant milk and nutritional yeast. It’s really simple to… Continue reading Creamy Vegan Salmon Pasta
Chilli Heatwave Tofu Chips/Fries
Tender smoked tofu with a crispy, spiced Doritos crumb coating. This recipe is inspired by the Chilli Heatwave chicken fries from Burger King. But I’m using smoked tofu, they’re baked not fried, and they’re totally plant based of course. The Chilli Heatwave flavour of Doritos is accidentally suitable for vegans, and makes for a great… Continue reading Chilli Heatwave Tofu Chips/Fries
Takeaway Style Vegan Paneer Tikka Masala
A creamy tikka masala sauce, with firm tofu “paneer”, great for a fakeaway with rice and naan bread to scoop up the sauce. Using tofu in place of paneer adds extra protein, iron and calcium to this curry. As for the cream, I used tofu cream, which I made by blending 60ml plant cream with… Continue reading Takeaway Style Vegan Paneer Tikka Masala
Creamy Sundried Tomato Pasta
This creamy, rich pasta sauce is really easy to make and it’s another way that I like to use tofu cream. Tofu cream is an easy to make cream substitute, that you can make using plant milk and silken tofu. There are several cream substitutes available now, but I still prefer tofu cream personally Yield;… Continue reading Creamy Sundried Tomato Pasta
