vegetarian steamed pudding recipe?

she_grinch

Hope someone can help me. I long for a vegetarian steamed pudding, real comfort food but I can't find a recipe for a vegetarian savoury one. All recipes I find are either meat or christmas puddings. I realise that I could just add vegetables but it's the gravy or sauce that I'm not sure about as I don't want it to go all soggy, can anyone help please?

Saw this one but my daughter hates mushrooms! I forgot to mention that. I was going to use carrot, peas, leeks, sweetcorn, parsnip, and maybe a few lentils as she will eat these but it's the sauce/gravy I'm stuck on.

I have a recipe for onion gravy that is really lovely, it does make a lot but any extra I freeze so you could make enough for the pudding and freeze the excess to have with veggie sausages. Even my DH can make this now, he's so proud bless him My son doesn't like mushrooms either. Apparently they are 'pinky dinky stinky' :rotfl:

Onion gravy



2 Onions
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Cox's Apple (I just use any eating apple)
1 scant tablespoon light or dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon English mustard powder
1 scant tablespoon plain flour
500ml hot stock
150ml cider

* Peel, halve & slice onions in to very thin half moons

* heat oil in wide pan, and cook onions slowly for about 10 mins until very soft

* peel, core and finely chop the apple, and add to the onion. Cook for 5 mins more

* Turn up the heat and add the sugar, cooking over high flame for 3 mins

* Stir in mustard powder & flour and let the flour cook a little

* Pour in the stock while stirring. Simmer gently for about 30 mins and allow to thicken

Wonderful I will give it a try. I have food intolerances an am vegetarian so I struggle with recipes sometimes but I need to increase my extremely limited repertoire as my DD and DH have been eating vegetarian more regularly. Thankyou

This is a good one from Marguerite Patten's book of wartime recipes 'We'll Eat Again'

Pathfinder Pudding

Pastry

6oz plain flour
pinch of salt
¾ tsp baking powder
1 oz suet (you'd use vegetarian suet obviously)
1½ grated, raw potato
water

Mix flour, salt, baking powder and add suet, potato and enough water to make a soft dough. Roll out ¾ of the pastry and use to line a 2 pint greased pudding basin.

Filling

2 lb cooked parsnips, diced
4 oz grated cheese
1 sliced leek
½ tsp mustard powder
salt and pepper

Mix together and fill basin. Roll out remaining pastry to make a lid and press onto pudding.

Cover with greased greaseproof paper or an upturned saucer. Place in a steamer and steam for 2 hours.

I would imagine you can vary the veg and add herbs and spices as you like.
