Recipes

Stuffed mushrooms: 8 large flat mushrooms remove the stalks, chop them finely, add them to a pan with sesame oil (or any of your choice ready to cook), Sainsbury’s free from soft cheese, spread that on the mushrooms where you removed the stalk (not the outside!). Place those on a baking tray, Chop up spring onions, 2 boxes of This Isn’t Bacon Lardons and add them to the pan then start frying until cooked through. Baby plum tomatoes onto the mushrooms, spoon on the bacon mix, grated vegan cheese on top (don’t add this is you need to get into ketosis), top with chopped chives. Bake in a 180°C oven for 20 minutes.

Spinach, Mushroom and fake Chicken Satay: Fake chicken in a big pan, start frying in oil or cooking in vegan butter, add a bag of frozen spinach, bag of frozen mushrooms, I put in a bag of frozen Chargrilled Mediterranean veg but won’t do that again. Heat through and simmer, then I added 700g peanut butter, spices (choose which you want – I like it hot so add chilli, cayenne pepper and so on) and coconut cream.

Cauliflower Cheese with Chorizo Shroom Dog: 1 bag of frozen cauliflower into casserole dish. Chop up the shroom dogs, put those on top of the cauliflower, I put the rest of the baby plum tomatoes on top too. Sauce: 2 tubs of free from soft cheese, 300ml mayonnaise, 1 pot of Elmlea Plant Double. Garlic powder. Heat gently. No need to let it boil. Once heated through pour on top of the cauliflower etc, gently stir it around and put in the oven at 180°C. After 20 minutes, take it out, turn it to ensure the sauce is over all the veg. Top with grated cheese (careful with the amount due to the high-carb count on this) and you can add any left over chives. Bake again until thoroughly heated through and bubbling. May be another 40 minutes.

Celeriac burgerslaw. Grate the celeriac – it is much easier than I thought – I thought it would be too hard and dense but it isn’t. Then mix together with: finely chopped 2 packs of dill, turmeric, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, vegan mayo, garlic puree, mustard, chili paste, tomato puree, liquid stevia.

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan podcast! Today, join Rachel on an exciting journey through a unique day in the life of a Keto Vegan at a Hen Do in the vibrant city of Brighton. Picture this: cocktail tasting, laughter, and unforgettable moments with the fabulous Hens, Luke and Kingsley, a delightful gay couple. The adventure kicks off in a cozy pub, moves on to the lively ambiance of Revolution Bar, and culminates in the electrifying atmosphere of Pryzm, a bustling club. Throughout the episode, Rachel shares her experiences, tips, and insights on navigating a Keto Vegan lifestyle amidst the festivities. And stick around until the end, where Rachel leaves you with a valuable tip on how to approach conversations about weight with your children. Let's dive in!

Key Takeaways:

• Getting ready prepare your snacks. Smoked almonds are lovely.
• Have a milky coffee too – Almond unsweetened milk is the best option to go for.
• On a Hen Day which starts at midday and could go on to the early hours, drink singles. A Vodka Soda and squeeze of fresh lime is keto and lovely when the sun is out.
• Ask the bar person to do specific sugar free options for you – they’re normally very accommodating.
• Personalise your own mojito: crushed mint leaves, squeezes of lime, crushed ice, white rum, soda water.

Best Moments: “Sam, the bar man over there, who’s so patient, you can see he needs a drink!”
