This recipe is actually really disgusting when made with meat. I believe they call it "ground pork" in english. So I decided I'd much rather use the german term "Mett" to make it sound a little more edible. However, whilst the meat-version isn't all that appealing, the vegan one actually tastes really really good and is very easy to make! Seriously, I find it surprisingly delicious!
Makes enough for 4 slices of bread
You need to have:
5 rice cakes (not the salty ones!)
1-2tbsp tomato paste
1tbsp olive oil
steak-seasoning to taste
1/2 small onion
pepper
You need to do:
Crush the rice cakes into smaller bits (but don't make them too small). Soak in maybe 1/2 cup hot water for 5 minutes until they're soft but not mushy.
Add olive oil and tomato paste and mix. Add steak-seasoning to taste.
Thickly spread on toasted whole grain bread and sprinkle with raw onion and some pepper.
So, I finally moved and got my kitchen working. First thing to do was stock my fridge with breadspreads! It's a bit sickly-green-ish, which is because of the Curcuma and because I used green lentils, but you might as well use brown ones.
Makes 400-500g
You need to have:
3/4-1 cup dried lentils, soaked overnight and cooked until soft
1 tbsp margarine
1 tbsp curry powder
2-3 tsp coriander
1 tsp curcuma
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp vegetable stock
salt and pepper to taste
You need to do:
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend away. Enjoy with bread!
This is ridiculously easy to make, has a consistency like Nutella and tastes wonderful. I don't like very sweet spreads, so this is perfect for me. I assume, you could make it sweeter by adding part milk part water and more sugar, or just using soy milk chocolate. And you could blend all kinds of nuts into it and add part nuts, part cocoa powder. Anything you like.
Makes 150g
You need to have:
100g (dark) chocolate
1/2 cup oil
3-5 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
water, water, water
soy milk or cream (optional)
sugar to taste
You need to do:
Put oil and chocolate (broken into pieces) in a saucepan and melt on low to medium heat. Add cocoa powder. While stirring add water (or part water, part soy milk/cream) until you have a liquid mass that has about the consistency of cream. So just a little thicker than milk. Add sugar to taste.
My absolute favourite breadspread. All the best flavours combined. Like heaven on bread. Sometimes I even fry tofu in it so it takes on its flavour. It is marvellous.
Makes 300-350g
You need to have:
250g margarine (roughly, I often just take what's left in the box)
1 onion
1-2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp ginger paste or 3-4cm ginger root
2 tsp tomato paste
2-3 tsp coriander
2-3 tsp curry
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp paprika, sweet
1/2 tsp paprika, spicy
1/2 tsp curcuma
salt, pepper and sugar to taste
oil to fry
You need to do:
Peel onion, garlic and ginger and chop. You are going to blend everything in the end so you don't need to make super small pieces. Fry everything in oil. If you are using ginger paste, fry onions and garlic until cooked and then "caramelise" with the paste.
Put margarine, tomato paste and spices in a blender-safe jar. Add onion, garlic and ginger and blend. Add salt, pepper and sugar to taste.
