Well how about a <a title="Mushroom" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/mushroom/">Mushroom</a> <em>en Croûte</em>?! It hardly takes any time to put together, especially as all the ingredients can be bought ready made.</p> <p>This is such a simple idea that I kick myself as to why I had not thought of it. You don’t even have to use <em>tapenade</em> you could use a <em>pâté</em>, <em>pesto</em> or even caramelised onions in its place. I think this recipe is extremely versatile.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/SzJWXuwc67I/AAAAAAAAD5c/Lw7b4M7qLBo/s1600-h/mushroomencroute2.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418488267368360882" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/SzJWXuwc67I/AAAAAAAAD5c/Lw7b4M7qLBo/s400/mushroomencroute2.jpg" /></a> Check the label if you are using a shop bought <em>tapenade </em>as some do contain anchovies; or make your own, providing you have a food processor, below is a straightforward vegan <em>tapenade </em>recipe.</p> <p>Also, I recently learned the many shop bought puff pastry’s are suitable for vegans as they are made with vegetable oil. With my vegan readers in mind, naughtily from work I even rang the <a href="http://www.vegsoc.org/">Vegetarian Society</a> this morning to confirm that this was indeed the case. The woman on the other end of the phone told me that she was vegan and loved this product. She confirmed that the majority of this <a href="http://www.seedlingshowcase.com/corporate08/products_detail.asp?id=44634">brands products </a>were suitable for vegan. However, do check the labelling as some are ‘all butter’. Good news for vegans in the U.K, eh!? <div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/SzJWQB4QKPI/AAAAAAAAD5M/c8oVDU_t3fo/s1600-h/mushroomencroute3.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 288px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418488135062399218" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/SzJWQB4QKPI/AAAAAAAAD5M/c8oVDU_t3fo/s400/mushroomencroute3.jpg" /></a> <strong><a title="Mushrooms" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/mushrooms/">Mushrooms</a> <em>en Croûte</em><br /></strong>Serves 4<br /><strong>Ingredients<br /></strong>4 <em>Portobello</em> mushrooms<br />4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced<br />4 generous tablespoons of green or black <em>tapenade</em> or mixed olive recipe below<br />375g ready rolled puff pastry<br />4 tablespoons milk or soya milk to glaze</div> <div>Salt and pepper to taste</div> <div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/SzJWMJBDolI/AAAAAAAAD5E/9zP9GSs6a8U/s1600-h/mushroomencroute1.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418488068258898514" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0W_QqQJyAQw/SzJWMJBDolI/AAAAAAAAD5E/9zP9GSs6a8U/s400/mushroomencroute1.jpg" /></a><strong> Method</strong></div> <div>Sit the mushrooms stem side up, cut off the stem and make crisscross cuts all over, being careful not to cut through the base of the mushroom. Distribute the garlic evenly over the base of the mushrooms along with seasoning, then spread tablespoon of <em>tapenade</em> on each mushroom base. Spread out the pastry on a floured board and roll it out so that you can have four squares. Put the mushroom stem side up into the centre of each pastry square and fold the sides up to encase it, pinching gently with your fingertips. Put the mushroom parcels on to a <a title="baking" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/baking/">baking</a> sheet, whichever side up you wish. Brush with the milk. Bake in a preheated oven, gas mark 6 for 25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown and the mushrooms are tender Adapted from Rose Elliot’s <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Veggie-Chic-Rose-Elliot/dp/0600613992">Veggie Chic</a>.</div> <div> </div> <div><strong>Vegan Mixed Olive </strong><strong><em>Tapenade<br /></em>Ingredients</strong><br />80g or 1/2 cup black olives<br />80g or 1/2 cup green olives<br />1 tablespoon capers<br />2 cloves garlic<br />2 tablespoons olive oil<br />1 teaspoon lemon juice<br />Black pepper, or to taste<br /><strong>Method</strong><br />Blitz all ingredients for a few seconds, being careful not to over-do it, since <em>tapenade</em> should have some texture. If you don’t have a food processor, finely mince the olives and garlic, then combine with all the other ingredients, mixing well.</div> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1055570102085574482-1640457210868616572?l=allotment2kitchen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_21829" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a21829" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a21829" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX21829X5X0XaXarticle_rater_21829Xarticle_loader_21829X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX21829X4X0XaXarticle_rater_21829Xarticle_loader_21829X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX21829X3X0XaXarticle_rater_21829Xarticle_loader_21829X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX21829X2X0XaXarticle_rater_21829Xarticle_loader_21829X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX21829X1X0XaXarticle_rater_21829Xarticle_loader_21829X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_21829" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a21829">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
