In the opposite direction of Fleetwood's recipe (which sounds great) my girlfriend decided to be fancy and expensive tonight so she cooked this:

Swordfish steaks with capers and cherry tomatoes! There's a bit of anchovy in there as well, and everything's coated in a red wine vinaigrette. We still have most of the jar of capers, so we're open to suggestions.

How about swordfish? I like it fine. But my seafood purveyor, when he goes out to dinner, won't eat it. He's seen too many of those 3ft-long parasitic worms that riddle the fish's flesh. You see a few of these babies - and we all do - and you won't be tucking into swordfish anytime soon.

I'd be fine with another week if anybody else wants in, I've also got to try out those vegan sausages for a socialist May Day event on the first

otherwise, I should be fine doing both in the span of two days, though vital wheat gluten is proving harder to find than I expected

(London, 1953)

Cornish No-Deal Horse & Beans

Ingredients

- horse meat*
- brown beans (from a tin)
- onions
- carrots*
- spring onion
- Worcestershire sauce
- ale*
- apple cider vinegar
- treacle
- seaweed*
- thyme
- oats



Horse meat: Now unpopular, horsemeat has waxed and waned in popularity in the UK over the centuries, but it’s a staple in times of scarcity

Carrots: I wanted to add carrots, but I didn’t have any

Ale: I was going to add ale but I didn’t have any, so I threw in a shot of malt whiskey for good luck

Seaweed: Originally I wanted to make Welsh No-Deal Horse & Beans, using laver, a type of seaweed that is traditionally eaten in Wales, where it is scraped off of rocks on the shore and then prepared in various ways. A Welsh Breakfast is similar to an English Breakfast but substitutes the tomatoes and mushrooms with fried laverbread and cockles, for instance. Laverbread is almost identical Japanese nori, so I planned to use nori in the recipre, because I thought I had some in my cupboard.

I was mistaken, there was no nori, but I did find some wakame in the back, which is the kind of seaweed used in miso soup. I wasn’t sure if there was a British equivalent of this, but after some googling I discovered The Cornish Seaweed Company, which sells a bunch of different types of local British seaweed and advises adding it to stews. So seaweed is a British ingredient, but uh,



anyway,

Procedure:

Fry the onions in butter (many types of oil are disqualified).



Add the horse meat and brown it.



Add everything else except the spring onion.





Add some water.



At this point I thought that I had made a horrible mistake and panicked because the combination of the vinegar, treacle, and seaweed released a vile, ghastly, and sickly sweet odour that filled up my kitchen. In an attempt to neutralize it I threw in a bunch of oats, which weren't part of my original plan.



I don’t think this was necessary, as the flavours all mixed together quickly and the stench was replaced with a hardy stew scent. I let it cook for 2 hours.



Garnish with spring onions before serving.

I was a bit afraid of eating it because of the initial smell when I started cooking, but it was actually quite ok. It tasted very similar to the filling of a burrito, though the oats gave it a texture very similar to that of haggis. I was afraid the seaweed would give it an overwhelming sea taste, but it wasn’t really noticeable besides an unexpected kick of umami flavor. 3/5

All of the people who were hoarding food for Brexit in March posted pictures of their supplies on twitter, and I think every single one of them had multiple cans of beans, so I thought I would do a variation of "pork & beans" but it got out of hand

Poisoning people, duh. (mostly myself)

Seitan is super high in protein, way too expensive from stores, and I lift weights, so as a vegan one of the easier ways to get a bunch of protein is to make my own seitan. Plus I get way more flavors than are available from stores.

I posted this earlier for sausages, I have some other recipes I use for stuff that's supposed to be more like chicken strips or breasts or something:

Okay, how to make vegan sausage.

So, the base recipe of these is pretty much the same (much like most sausages are made of ground meat). Mostly you're just varying the spices you put in for different flavors.

Base Recipe:


quote:

Base Recipe: Italian 

Makes 4 Sausages 
Time: 50 minutes || Active time: 10 minutes 

1/2 cup cooked white beans (great northern or navy), rinsed and drained 
1 cup vegetable broth 
1 tablespoon olive oil *or* 1 tablespoon tomato paste (tomato paste is a great fat replacement) 
2 tablespoons soy sauce 
1 1/4 cups vital wheat gluten 
1/4 cup nutritional yeast 
1 teaspoon granulated garlic *or* 2 cloves fresh garlic, finely grated 
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seed, crushed *or* 1 teaspoon ground fennel seed 
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 
1 teaspoon sweet paprika 
1 teaspoon dried oregano 
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 
Several dashes fresh black pepper 

Before mixing your ingredients, get the steaming apparatus ready, bringing water to a full boil. The rest of the recipe comes together very quickly. 

Have ready 4 square sheets of tin foil. In a blender, add the beans, veggie broth, olive oil or tomato paste, and soy sauce and blend until smooth. 

Throw the puree and all the other ingredients together in the order listed into a large bowl and mix with a fork. Divide dough into 4 even parts (an easy way to do this: split the dough in half and then into quarters). Place one part of dough into tin foil and mold into about a 5 inch log. Wrap dough in tin foil, like a tootsie roll. Don’t worry too much about shaping it, it will snap into shape while it’s steaming because this recipe is awesome. 

Place wrapped sausages in steamer and steam for 40 minutes. That’s it! You can unwrap and enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. 


Mostly you just varying the seasonings. For example, 


quote:

KIELBASA (POLISH) 
2 tsp caraway seeds, crushed [tester recommendation: reduce to 1 tsp or even 1/2 tsp caraway seeds] 
1 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp onion powder 
1 tsp marjoram 
1 tsp sugar 
½ tsp allspice 
freshly ground pepper 
1 tsp liquid smoke (optional tester recommendation) 


Or 


quote:

ANDOUILLE 
1 tsp garlic powder [tester recommendation: use sauteed fresh garlic] 
1 tsp onion powder [tester recommendation: use sauteed shallots] 
1 tsp red pepper flakes 
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
1/8 teaspoon cayenne [or more to taste]
1/8 teaspoon chili powder [or more to taste] 
1/4 teaspoon mace * 
1/4 teaspoon allspice * 
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme* 
1 tablespoon paprika [tester recommendation: reduce paprika to 1-2 tsp] 
1/4 teaspoon ground bay leaf 
1/4 teaspoon sage * 
1 tsp liquid smoke 

*if you want a clearer taste with fewer spices, bump up the dried thyme to 1 tsp and leave out the mace, allspice, and sage

Finally, apple breakfast sausages:


quote:

Apple breakfast sausages 
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 
½ cup onion, minced 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1 cup apple, minced 
1 cup baby bella mushroom, minced 
1 teaspoon fennel seeds 
1 teaspoon dried rosemary 
1 teaspoon sage powder 
1 tablespoon maple syrup 
salt, to taste 
pepper, to taste 
15 oz cannellini bean, 1 can, drained and rinsed 
½ cup chickpeas, canned, rinsed and drained, or cooked 
1 cup vital wheat gluten, or all-purpose flour 

Prep 

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 4 minutes, until fragrant and the onion is translucent. 
2. Add the apples, mushrooms, fennel seeds, rosemary, sage, maple syrup, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 10 minutes, until the mixture is tender and the liquid released from the mushrooms has evaporated. Remove from the heat and let cool. 
3. Add the cannellini beans and chickpeas to a food processor and pulse into a smooth paste. 
4. Transfer the bean paste to a large bowl and add the apple/mushroom mixture and vital wheat gluten. Mix with a spatula and then your hands until well combined. 
5. Form the sausage mixture into 5" sausages, wrap like a Tootsie roll in aluminum foil, and steam for ~50 min until it is firm when gently poked. 
6. Keeps for a week in the fridge, or can be frozen. When ready to eat, follow below instructions. 
7. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Fry the sausages for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. 
8. Serve
