Vegan Steak & Ale Stew; a slow cooker TRIUMPH + Vegan Pommes Puree

Video Description

Vegan Gnocchi: https://youtu.be/uX-fg0cF2Vg It seems like we're galloping towards winter doesn't it? This vegan steak & ale stew is ideal for when you need some comfort. I used the dried soy pieces again; steak and pork this time. I love how easy they make it to add protein and a meaty texture to a dish. A delicious stew screams for a worthy companion, so I opted for the ultimate carbohydrate; vegan pommes puree. It's creamy, rich and delicious. I used the slow cooker setting on the Instant Pot to make the vegan steak & ale stew, but it can definitely be done on the stove, or even a campfire! The stew can be easily customised by using different vegan meats, and changing the beans and/or liquid.

My channel is you watching the results of my 2am thoughts of “I wonder what would happen if I put A with B?” The answers lean heavily towards cake, and my ongoing quest to find a good meat substitute. I’m a vegan that loves animal products, but hates what’s involved; so I’ve dived headfirst into a rabbit hole of different plant-based textures and flavours. These are often the 1st time that I’ve tried a recipe, and I’ll talk you through why I’m using the ingredients and what I think happened when things go wrong. Grab a vessel of whatever makes you happy and enjoy, but be warned; it’s messy here sometimes!
