The server where my main mastodon account is hosted is closing down in a few months, so I'm looking through my posts to see if there's anything I want to preserve, and this post about food I've cooked has been moved from a previous closed server to my main account so I should probably bring it here for prosperity (as I always use my DW account to keep posts from other blogs/social sites that have closed or I left over the years, RIP LJ and Imzy 💔 though they are all private now)

Food I've Cooked, All Veggie!

1. Tortilla Wraps Pizza

White plate with a pile of rice, beans and other veg next to the open tin of jackfruit I used I randomly picked up a tin of jackfruit without any idea what to do with it, then a few weeks later found it in the cupboard and searched online and came up with the linked recipe, changes were doing it in the instant pot of course and not adding chilli cos I can't do chilli

8. Rice, Quorn and Peas with Marmite Stock

A plate of rice mixed with peas and quorn pieces alongside a handful of salad with a squiggle of mayo on top. This recipe I came up with due the ingredients I had around, I cooked the rice in the instant pot, then mixed a teaspoonful of marmite with hot water and added that, peas and quorn to the rice and put the instant pot onto the saute programme and then once it was all warmed through I served it with some salad leaves with lime juice and mayo on!

9. Stuffed Red Pepper

Half a red pepper that fills half the plate, filled with the rice mixture and topped with finely grated cheese A tasty stuffed pepper dish I made from the biggest red pepper I'd ever seen (did online shopping so didn't see it till it arrived) I cooked rice, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and stock in my instant pot and cooked half the pepper in the oven for a few minutes Then when the rice and mushrooms were done I filled the pepper half with them and cooked in the oven for 10 mins or so I put finely grated cheese on top before eating which melted nicely

10. Simple Tomato Soup

A slice of cheesecake next to a loaf tin filled with cheesecake. The filling is a creamy brown colour and the base is quite thin and crisp looking My changes from the linked recipe were using cadbury's buttons and I made the base out of some flapjack bites I needed to use up, and I had to hand whip the cream!
