Since turning vegan, there is one thing I have missed up until now: my Dad’s chicken casserole. I finally decided to take the recipe and replace the chicken with ‘This Isn’t Chicken’ chicken. At 22% protein it is a fantastic meat replacement, and the recipe including all natural ingredients fits in with my whole foods approach to cooking. No vegan junk here thank you. So here is a super simple yet effective stew, warming fro the winter and healthy too. Prep time 30min, cooking 1 hour serves 4
Either use one oven proof pot, suitable for frying, see pic, or use a large frying pan then transfer to a casserole dish
1 onion diced, fried in drizzle of oil
1 leek sliced, added to onion in oil
Mixed herbs nd oregano – 3tsps
1-2 carrots sliced in discs added to leek and onions
1-2 packets of fake chicken, add to pot and fry for 5minutes
1 dessert spoonful of flour sprinkled in pot, stir well coating ingredients
Make Half a litre of stock (use leftover veg water or stock cube+boiling water), add to pot and bring to the boil
Preheat oven to gas mark 4, put pot into oven and cook for 1hour
Serve with rice, delicious!!!
