We joined a gang of veg*n bloggers in addition to associated hangers-on for a potluck picnic inwards Edinburgh Gardens this past times weekend. The potluck was organised past times Steph, who added the fun/complexity of a 'celebrity chef' theme. The tardily choice would accept been to autumn dorsum on i of the many crowd-pleasing Ottolenghi or Isa recipes we've made before, but nosotros decided to comprehend the spirit of the subject to a greater extent than thoroughly in addition to veganise some unlikely celebrity chef dishes.
Cindy had oodles of fun trawling her agency through the slightly terrifying Paula Deen archives, weighing upward options similar the bacon cheeseburger meatloaf in addition to the banana split upward brownie pizza - this Guardian rundown outlines merely how horrifically unhealthy (and unvegan) Deen's cooking mode is. In the end, after weighing upward the picnic-appropriateness in addition to veganisability of diverse mad recipes, nosotros settled on these mini cheeseburger puffs, which basically involve wrapping the fillings of a cheeseburger inwards puff pastry.
With TVP replacing the the solid seat down beef, Tofutti's American cheese slices filling inwards admirably for crappy cheddar slices in addition to some squares of mock bacon adding our ain special touch, these were a gloriously unhealthy vegan sensation. This is close equally far from wholefoods equally it gets. They were a huge success though, peculiarly amongst generous dollops of tomato plant sauce on top.
They're a chip fiddly to brand - the TVP-based mince doesn't concur together equally a burger patty at all, thus you lot accept to merely scoop upward a big spoonful of the mix into the centre of each pastry foursquare (see above). Don't skimp on the homemade seasoning - the TVP is pretty flavourless on its own, thus you lot actually quest to become crazy amongst the common salt in addition to spices. We made upward our ain versions of Paula Deen's lightheaded common salt in addition to steak seasoning. The quantities below brand 24 pastries, thus consider halving it if you're non feeding a picnic total of hungry vegans.
The picnic nutrient was all incredible - Johanna has already posted upward her dishes, operate past times on an optic on Veganopolous for a total round-up equally well.

Roughly five parts salt, 2 parts pepper, 2 parts garlic powder, 1 business office onion powder, cayenne, solid seat down coriander in addition to dill - upward to close 2 tablespoons.

Soak the TVP inwards the boiling H2O for 10 minutes or so, until the H2O is absorbed.
Fry the rehydrated TVP amongst the onion for close five minutes. Stir inwards the seasoning, thus kill the rut in addition to allow the mix cool to room temperature.
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
Defrost the pastry sheets. Make the puffs upward - each i needs i quarter of a canvas of the puff pastry, a tablespoon of the burger mix, ii cheese squares in addition to i ham foursquare (see above).
Fold the 4 corners of the pastry upward to run into inwards the centre in addition to covert the filling (see photos above). Pinch the corners of the puff pastry squares together in addition to partially along the seams, leaving a few petty air holes along the edges.
