1/2 lb pearl onions
1/2 lb bella mushrooms, sliced

 

Method:

Heat some oil in a thick walled vessel with a tight lid and fry the soy “bacon” (or real bacon) until it is brown. Remove the bacon and if you are using real beefless, sear the pieces in the fat from the bacon. Remove and saute the onions till they are golden brown. Add the carrots to it and cook for about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the brandy and CAREFULLY ignite with a match. Once the fire is out, add the soy chunks (or meat) and bacon back in. Dump a half-bottle of red wine or till the mixture is almost covered. Add the tomato paste and thyme and mix well. Bring the pot to a simmer, cover and place it in the oven for about an hour or until the meat and vegetables are very tender when pierced with a fork.

Add the vegan butter to a pan and make a roux with the flour. Add the roux and pearl onions to the pot. Saute the mushrooms in some vegan butter until lightly browned and also add to the stew. Heat and simmer for at least 15 minutes. Serve with garlic rubbed toasts as shown.

MUNNI TRIVEDI

My condition was progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years. I’d been good at taking my medicine and exercising so knew I should have felt better. My arthritis and scleroderma were really affecting my quality of life. Increasing pain and fatigue were wearing me down.

Dr. Jenny and Ajoy came well-recommended so I got in touch. I completed a short questionnaire before my consultation. Covid meant it was all done over VC. They put me at ease, and it was like we were in the same room. They asked all the right medical and lifestyle questions without judgement. They devised a plan which was holistic, realistic and easy to follow. Their gentle and knowledgeable coaching kept me on track.

The resulting decrease in swelling and pain has given me a new lease of life in a few weeks. I feel so much better and look so much happier. I felt they were genuinely interested in my well-being. Happy to highly recommend them.
