1 Tbsp. Thanks for the support!Thanks!

I just really flipping love Bisto)I kept things simple – carrots, peas, and sweetcorn. I know what you’re thinking; that’s incredibly easy. We have had it 2 other times as shepherds pie with mashed cauliflower topping. I hope you enjoy this one – you could use Quorn instead if you prefer, but I like to make my own mince when I can be bothered :)This mince sounds really delightful in this rainy weather. Can I freeze it at any point in the cooking?Hi, I haven’t tried freezing this one but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work :) I’d probably cook it fully before freezing and then just reheat later.Top notch dish!
I love it and Bisto!
Classic veggies that I ate almost every day as a kid.If you want, you can add whatever other veggies you have in the fridge – peppers, leek, parsnip, green beans, etc. They’re not. I’ve served mine with rice and it goes perfectly.If you changed the thyme for maybe oregano or basil you could use this mince in lasagne.Lasagne is a great idea! It’s the same idea as the veggie mince I used in my chilli cheese fries the other day – just beans, walnuts and mushrooms blitzed in a blender to give a mince-like texture. That was so quick haha, I only posted this one yesterday! So glad you like it.Thank you!! They’d probably say Mince Pies. :)Sitting eating this as we speak.
Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent. I think my mum made something like it when we were young. […] I posted up a recipe for a Vegan Mincemeat that I had just fallen in love with. However, if coconut oil is difficult to get or super expensive where you live, you can use any solid vegan fat alternative (such as Copha). You can buy commercial mincemeats that are vegan, but me being me, I decided to make my own this year. Will definately be cooking this again. You can imagine how desperately I wanted to make Vegan Mince […]Thank you so much for posting. Although I “tropicalised” this recipe with the rum, coconut and coconut oil, my friend James, on first tasting, said “Oh my god….that tastes exactly right”. Once you’ve made your own mincemeat, you’ll never go back. :)Your mince sounds lovely. I’m a sucker for mushrooms.
She can neck a tin of green peas in under ten seconds. 500 g soya mince.

I am not familar with bisto gravy granules but I love to make my own gravy from scratch when I have the time (it takes longer) – my mum often used gravox which is probably similarYes I prefer to make my own homemade ‘mince’ when I can be bothered :) Yes I imagine all gravy powders are much the same!I love cooking delicious vegetarian food. The instructions caution not to pulverized the bean too much. Neither are they made with mince, although they were back in the Medieval days when no one had tastebuds and the go-to method of improving a meal was to douse it liberally in animal fat.
