Instructions
 

  • Method for components;
  • Stuffing;
  • Preheat oven to 180 C fan
  • If you don’t have any old loaf bread, simply chop up a baguette or sourdough style loaf into large bite size chunks and bake on a tray in the oven for 10-15 mins until they have dried out.
  • Finely dice the onions and in a large flat pan or pot cook over medium heat with 1 tbsp of oil and salt for 10 mins until translucent and soft, remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl add the old sourdough chunks, cooked onions with the rest of the ingredients and mix well
  • Transfer the mixture to an approx 22 x 22cm baking dish or a 2lb loaf tin approx and bake for 25 mins.
  • Remove and allow to cool fully before slicing
  • Tempeh;
  • Preheat the oven to 180 C fan
  • Slice the tempeh – crossways into approx 16 slices. No more than ½ cm each.
  • Mix the tamari, water, oil , Dried sage and Dried thyme together.
  • Toss the slices in the tamari mixture making sure the slices are evenly coated.
  • Put the slices in an even layer on a parchment lined baking tray and roast for 20 mins or while the stuffing is baking, taking care not to over cook or darken them too much
  • Slaw;
  • Thinly slice the cabbage
  • Grate the carrot and parsnip
  • Slice the apple
  • Toss the parsnip and apple in the lemon juice to stop them discolouring
