Veg. Portobello Burgers Stuffed With Vegetable Chorizo

What You'll Need

Four large portobello mushrooms

1 cup/200 grams of vegetarian (soy) chorizo

One medium onion, thinly sliced

Eight large jalepanos, cut in half (lengthwise) and seeded

One or two slices of cheese per mushroom cap

Four hamburger buns

Slices of tomato

Mustard

Mayonnaise

How to Make It

1. Rinse the portobellos and gently pat dry with a paper towel. Gently pull off, or cut off, the stem from each mushroom. Then use a spoon to scoop out the gills from each mushroom cap -- careful not to remove the edge, you want to keep that overlapping edge so that it can hold the filling. Brush each mushroom with a little bit of oil and set aside.

2. Heat about 1.5 tablespoons of oil in a pan, once hot add the onion slices and sauté over medium-low heat.

You want to cook them until they are completely soften and begin to brown -- but not burnt. While the onions are cooking, heat another couple of tablespoons in a different pan, once it's hot add the chorizo. Sauté it until it begins to caramelise and it no longer has any moisture. You'll want to keep stirring both the chorizo and the onions as they cook, and turn off the heat once they are ready.

3. Heat a large frying pan or a flat grill, and drizzle some oil over it. Place the jalapeño halves onto it and allow to cook until each piece has softened. Remove from heat and set aside. Next place the mushroom caps onto the pan/grill with the scraped side facing up. Cook the mushrooms until they begin to soften. Once the portobellos are soft, scoop two to three tablespoons of the cooked chorizo into each cap. Then top with a little bit of the cooked onion, and a slice or two of cheese per mushroom cap. Allow the cheese to melt before removing from the heat.

4. Toast the buns, if desired, then spread some mustard and mayonnaise onto each bread. Place the portobello burgers on the bun, then top with the fried jalapeño halves and a couple of tomato slices. Server right away.

Vegan Macarons

Okay, I’m a bit late on the macaron trend. They were the hot ticket item a few years ago. I’m sure many people have moved on to some other food obsession. Not me, I have been dying to challenge myself by making VEGAN macarons. INGREDIENTS 150 ml of prepared aquafaba* 200 grams almond flour 200 grams confectioners’ sugar Food coloring (optional) 200 grams (1 cup) of white sugar 60 ml (1/4 cup) water INSTRUCTIONS Drain the water from a large can of chickpeas into a small sauce pan. Simmer the liquid until it reduces slightly and reaches a consistency similar to egg whites. Measure out 150 ml and set it aside to cool to room temperature.

You may have to work in batches, using a rubber spatula to push the mixture through. Once you’ve sifted it all, give it a whisk and make sure it is evenly blend...

It’s a good staple for older kids to learn how to cook, as they can pair it with any flavours they like, or vegetables that are in season. We think kids will like the way the asparagus and courgettes are peeled to resemble the pasta ribbons (we do too). Peeling is a useful skill that even little children can learn, while older children can master cooking and assembling. You could make your own pasta if you have a machine – it’s a fun activity for everyone to get involved in. Fill a large saucepan with water, add a big pinch of sea salt and bring it to the boil.
