Hey guys!

For the first few holiday recipes I wanted to keep the ingredients list pretty small, so I’m using puff pastry which I mentioned in my first root veg tarte, and I’m not going to list the instructions here. You can either make up some pastry or you can buy some vegan premade!

Ingredients

  • Banana Shallots

  • Vegan Butter (Pure)

  • Balsamic Vinegar

  • Brown Sugar

  • Thyme

  • Paprika

  • Button Mushrooms

  • Rosemary

  • Salt

  • Pepper

So this recipe is two recipes in one, you could have the shallots on their own because they make an amazing side dish to a Christmas roast, they’ll be a winner I promise people go mad for them. You simply peel and slice in half the number you want to use, I think these were actually 3 as some had double shallots in side their papery shell lol! In a pan, add about 2 dessert spoons of vegan butter, 1 tsp of brown sugar.

Melt the butter, add salt and pepper, I added some thyme and rosemary and balsmamic vinegar. You want to coat the base of the pan and let them sit in the delicious juices until they brown and take on some of that colouring.

If you wanted to do something a bit more fancy, I wanted to kind of cheat a tarte tatin, so you just prep a baking tray of your choice with puff pastry, line with paprika, paint with soy milk and fill to your hearts content. I simply added button mushrooms and the shallots and roasted for 20 minutes.

It was a delicious and savoury additive to a plant based roast.
