World Vegetarian Week: A Food Voucher for Your Recipe!

On Monday, World Vegetarian Week lands. A week of pure, unadulterated veggie fun and a great opportunity to recruit some friends and family members to this noble cause. If you’re already veg, you’ll know that there are thousands of recipes and delish products out there to gorge on – burgers, bacon butties and fish ‘n’ chips included. If you’re not already veg, this is the perfect week to give it a go!

If you have a vegetarian recipe – no matter how simple or complex – if you post it as a comment here, or email it over to me, you stand a chance of winning a £25 Redwood Foods voucher. Yup, that’s right, £25. That can buy you a whole lotta vegetarian burgers, sausages, bacon, fish-fingers and other tasty surprisingly veggie foods that Redwood stock.

I don’t even care if you post strange recipes that you hold dear, like tomato ketchup on Weetabix, or sugar sandwiches (yes, I know about you people). It’s all part of the fun.

You should read the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy first of course, and I’ll announce the winning recipe – and contact the winner – on Monday 26th May. Last entry to be considered for winning is Sunday 25th May, but feel free to carry on posting anyway – spread the veggie love.

Good luck!

I have one :)

let’s see now:

“Matt’s Custom Potato Salad” - serves 1 - me!

You will need: Three large potatoes, 4-5 medium sized spring onions, Redwoods Cheatin Lincolnshire style sausages (1 or 2) pinch of Salt and pepper, 3 good tablespoons of Plamil Garlic mayonnaise (dairy free) and some nice balsamic vinegar (1/2 teaspoon)

Peel three “fist sized” potatoes and dice quite large - put in a pan with salty water and boil until soft. Once boiled take off the heat, leave standing for 10 minutes then place in the fridge until cool.

Chop 4-5 medium spring onions into peanut sized pieces and put to one side.

Take 1 or 2 redwoods “lincolnshire style” cheatin’ sausages, don’t heat up, chop into tiny pieces, no bigger than a lentil (so specific lol) and mix with the spring onions.

Once the potatoes are cool, it’s better to chop them smaller again - mix all of the ingredients together until it is all evenly mixed - then fridge again for around 1/2 an hour.

There you have it - Matt’s custom potato salad - thanks go to me Mum for inspiration ;)
