Spaghetti Soy-Bolognese


Today i made fast dinner. Spaghetti Bolognese by using Swedish product "Anamma sojafärsh". I have just recently found Anamma - vegetarian products and i really like them!  Read more about Anamma products on their webpage. Anyway, this dish is so fast and easy to make. I make it quite often, when i am tired and want to eat some simple delicious food, that i can make fast. Here is a recipe for you to make this too:

Ingredients:

  • Soy "Meat" (groats) You can use the frozen one or dried one. I used one bag of frozen Anamma groats. 
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 Cloves of Garlic
  • Tomato paste
  • Pecorino cheese
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Heinz ketchup
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Santamaria Garlic & Pepper and BBQ & pepper spice mixes
  • Olive oil
  • About 2 dl Cream
  • About 2 dl water
  • Full-grain Spaghetti
First put the Spaghetti on boiling (add some salt & olive oil on the water). Cut the onions and garlic. Add some olive oil on pan and pour the frozen soy in. Let it come to heat so the soy melts fast. Add some more oil and the garlic & the onions into the pan. Start frying the soy. Add the spices. When soy & onions has fried a bit (starts getting more brown), add some water and then the tomato paste. Mix well all the time. Add some ketchup also in. Pour the cream into the mix, lower the heat on low level. Grate some Pecorino cheese in, mix well and taste. Add more spices if needed. Spaghetti should be ready at this point (after about 10-15 minutes). Pour the hot water out and pour little bit olive oil into mix with the spaghetti. Place the spaghetti on a plate, add some sauce on the top and sprinkle some grated Mozzarella on top. Garnish with fresh basil. Fast, simple and Delicious!



Vegetarian Loaf from Soy "meat"


This was experimental test how to make vegetarian "meat loaf" by using soybean groats. Turned out to be really good! I served it with mashed potatoes, creamy pepper sauce and a salad. So here is a recipe for how to make the Loaf;

Ingredients:

  • 1 Onion
  • 3 big cloves of garlic
  • 3-4 dl frozen spinach
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 package of Halloumi cheese
  • About 2 dl flour
  • About 2 dl breadcrumps
  • About 5-6 dl Soybean groats (this you can find in most eco stores or Asian stores, if your local store does not sell it. You can also use Quorn if you choose to)
  • Olive oil
  • Butter
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Mixed spices ( i used Santamaria's Garlic & pepper, BBQ & pepper and Jamie Oliver's Barbeque mix)
First you need a casserole which is oblong-shaped. (or you can make it in folio, but i prefer in casserole). Butter the dish well. Fry some onion, spinach and garlic in oil and add the Soybean grouts (You have to boil them first/let them stand on a hot water to make it soft, if you are using the dried ones) and the spices to the mix. Cook it for a while and then add halloumi that has been hacked into small pieces. When the cheese has melted a little bit, put the mix on a bowl to cool down for a little while. Add the eggs and the flours and mix it well. Add more flours, if the mix is not thick enough. Pour some olive oil also in the buttered casserole and pour the mix in. Smooth the top even. Cook the loaf in oven  for about 30 min (might be less or more,depends on the ovens power) in 200 ºC until the surface looks nice and brown. Take out from the oven and let it cool down for a bit. Cut nice thick slices and serve with whatever you prefer. Delicious!
