Hungarian Goulash with Tempeh

Stolen from - Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker - p 86

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 500g tempeh, cut into bits
• 1 onion
• 2 cups sauerkraut (*sigh* cups - I put it in a measuring jug and did 600ml & forgot to weigh it for this)
• 400g chopped toms - it says drained but I didn't
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 100ml white wine
• 1 tsp cumin seeds (or "caraway seeds" apparently)
• 2 tbsp tomato puree
• 500ml stock
• 150ml tofu sour cream (not that I used it)

1. Fry the tempeh to brown it
2. Cook the onions (it says fry but I boiled them and used the water in the stock)
3. Put everything but the sour cream into the slow cooker
4. Cook on low for 6 hours
5. Before serving, mix up the cream with 150ml of the juice and pour over the top
6. Serve with noodles, says wide but I've only got stringy that are two years old - life on the edge.

I had it with spring greens, was amazing.

Bit long but this a cross reference of cooker size and time taken. Maybe one day I'll type the titles too :)

Mac and Bean Florentine

Stolen from : Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker

Serves 4

• 4.5L slow cooker
• 250g macaroni
• 300g cooked spinach
• 1 onion, chopped
• 100g raw unsalted cashews
• 300g cooked white beans or 1 tin of same (I used Cannellini)
• 1 tblspoon miso (optional)
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp dry mustard powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne
• pinch ground nutmeg
• salt
• water

1. Cook the macaroni to al dente
2. Cook the onions (I boil mine, you can fry if you like)
3. Grind cashews, add 200ml water and make a paste so it doesn't lump later
4. Put everything in the slow cooker, give it a right good stir
5. Cook on low for 3+ hours

I wasn't expecting much once I'd mixed it all together but the flavours come alive in the cooking. While eating it, I wanted a side salad, that would have been perfect. Only 3 stars because it didn't wow but might have done with bread, balsamic & salad.
Surprisingly unfilling
