VEGAN SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180˚c (fan-oven)
• Heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a casserole dish over a gentle heat. Toss in the 3 diced carrots, 4 cloves diced garlic, 2 diced onions and 4 sticks of diced celery. Fry gently 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
• Add in the 1 teaspoon of paprika and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Stir into the vegetables and then pour in the 1 can of plum tomatoes, 1 bay leaf, 2 cans of drained cannellini bean and 500ml of vegetable stock. Cover and place into the oven for 30 minutes until the beans are nicely soft.
• When the casserole has about 10 minutes left, prep the vegan sausage. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Toss in the 6 chopped vegan sausages slices and fry for 2 minutes either side until they have a wonderfully crispy exterior.
• After the casserole has cooked for 30 minutes, remove and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir in the 30g of chopped parsley and crispy sausage slices. Layer a thick helping of breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole.
• Place the casserole back in the oven, uncovered, for 5 minutes until the breadcrumbs start to turn golden brown.

VEGAN TORTILLA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and cumin and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans, squash, tomatoes and their juices, tomato paste and kale; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Set the vegetable filling aside.
• In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, layer 2 of the tortillas, 1/4 of the vegetable filling and 1/4 cup of the vegan cheese or cashew cheese sauce. Repeat the layers 3 times, ending with the cheese or cheese sauce.
• Bake uncovered until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is hot all the way through, about 20 minutes. Serve with cilantro and vegan sour cream.
• Soak the cashews in a bowl with cold water for 8 to 12 hours. (Alternatively, "flash soak" them in a heatproof bowl with boiling water for 10 minutes.) Drain then transfer to a food processor or high-powered blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

VEGAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Peel and quarter potatoes. Place in a medium or large size pot with water to cover. Add garlic, celery, parsley, peppercorns, onion, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.
• To Make Filling: While potatoes are cooking, in a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil and saute onion and garlic. Saute for 1 minute over medium heat, then add mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Crumble tofu in chunks into the skillet and saute briefly, mixing well. Stir in barbecue sauce, yeast, gravy mix, thyme, paprika, and tamari. Mix well and saute, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes over medium heat.
• Transfer potatoes from water to a large bowl, reserving 3 1/2 cups of the remaining stock. Add miso, oil, and 3/4 to 1 cup of the potato stock to the potatoes a little at a time, mashing potatoes as you add the stock. Add only enough water to moisten potatoes adequately. Do not over moisten, this potato mixture will be the crust covering of the casserole.
• Add corn and spinach to filling mixture and mix well. Spoon filling into an oiled, shallow ovenproof casserole dish. Pat down with back of a large spoon. Spread potato crust evenly over filling, smoothing top with a spoon or spatula. Dust evenly with paprika. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden.
• While casserole bakes, prepare gravy. Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add flour and yeast, stir with a whisk over medium heat to form a paste. Slowly stir in 2 1/2 cups of reserved potato water, whisking as you stir to allow gravy to thicken. Stir in instant gravy mix and continue whisking until gravy is thick and smooth; add additional potato water, if necessary. Serve casserole with crust on the bottom and filling on top. Spoon gravy over top.

VEGAN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375˚F.
• Bring 10 cups of water to a boil in salted water. (We usually add 1 tsp of salt for every 4 cups of water) Once boiling, add broccoli and blanch for 3 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl filled with ice water to stop cooking process. After 2-3 minutes, strain and set aside.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, then add onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional few minutes. Stir in flour, then slowly pour in the milk, whisking well to prevent the flour from clumping. Once all of the milk is added, whisk in salt, pepper, and cheese. Simmer until cheese is completely melted and sauce is thickened.
• Add broccoli to a large casserole dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli and stir well to coat. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 15 minutes.
• While the casserole is baking, make topping. Stir together the melted butter and breadcrumbs. After 15 minutes of baking, remove casserole from oven and top evenly with breadcrumbs and cheese. Return to oven for 10-15 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown. Serve hot.

VEGAN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F and grease (or use cooking spray) a 8×8 inch square baking dish or line with parchment paper. Set the baking dish aside.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add the potatoes, thyme, oregano and 2 tsp of the oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast potatoes for 20-22 min, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown. (Note: you could use pre-roasted/cooked potatoes or hash browns here or have a make-ahead option of roasting potatoes the day before).
• Blend Batter: To a blender, add tofu, chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, turmeric, salt and pepper. Blend on high until smooth. Set aside.
• Cook Vegetables: In a large non-stick pan, heat the remaining 2 tsp oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add onions, peppers and mushrooms. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until softened.
• Mix Batter: To a large bowl, add veggies, roasted potatoes and batter and stir to combine.
• Bake: Transfer the batter to the baking dish and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and firm to the touch.
• Serve: Let sit for 15 minutes, then slice and serve as desired.

VEGAN SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large casserole or heavy-based saucepan over a medium heat, and fry the sausages for 4-6 mins, in batches if needed, until golden brown all over. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the onion, carrot and celery to the oil left in the pan (add a splash more if you need to), and fry for 10 mins, until very tender and starting to turn lightly golden. Tip in the chopped tomatoes, half fill each can with water and add to the pan. Stir in the sugar, oregano, paprika, cayenne, vinegar and half the thyme. Season well and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 mins uncovered until the tomatoes start to break down, then stir in the cannellini beans and simmer for 10 mins until the casserole has thickened and the sauce coats the beans. Stir the sausages back into the pan. Season well. Add a pinch more sugar or smoked paprika if you like.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mash the vegan spread with the remaining thyme leaves, chopped parsley and crushed garlic. Season with black pepper and mash well with a fork until combined. Lightly toast the sourdough in a toaster or under the grill. Smother the garlic mixture over the bread slices, and arrange over the top of the casserole. Transfer to the oven and cook for 15 mins until the garlic breads are golden brown, the garlic mixture melts into the toasts and edges are toasted.
