recipe by Thomas Cizauskas flic.kr/p/2ps6zuL with thanks
ingredients for stuffing flic.kr/p/2ps6zuL
ingredients for pinto beans & beetroot blend included vegetable broth, olive oil and soy sauce (before added to the vital wheat gluten see recipe) flic.kr/p/2ps6zuL
veggie roast beastie loaf some of the ingredients flic.kr/p/2pwTPew
plum butter www.daringgourmet.com/plum-butter-pflaumenmus/
freshly made vegetable stock from potatoes, celery, leeks, peppers, onions and carrots garnished with parsley
i substituted the oven for the slowcooker as my oven would have been problematic having electric bars top and bottom flic.kr/p/2m3gaso i was worried i might overcook the base and undercook the rest - very uncertain
using the slowcooker
i had a few centimetres of water at the bottom so that the slowcooker wouldn't dry out
placed kitchen paper towels across the top to soak up condensation (i didn't want moisture finding it's way into the loaf)
then covered with the lid
the slowcooker was on for five hours on low from start to finish
a couple of times i did wipe moisture off the inside of the lid but never removed the paper towels. whether that was a good idea i don't know but it made me feel happier
when i finally removed the loaf from the slowcooker there was no water left in the bottom of the bowl
next time
maybe add a few extra centimetres of water at the beginning
check and top up during the cooking process
cook the loaf for slightly less time
or maybe do all three options :)
something for me to think about as and when
