Mouthwatering Boat Recipes (mainly plant based)

INDEX OF MAINLY PLANT BASED BOAT RECIPES
Send me a PM if I have missed including any of the recipes in this thread. The # refers to the post number. Enjoy .

Notes: It is much easier scooping or spooning ingredients out on a boat rather than weighing them, so over the years I have converted most of my recipes for this reason.
In my recipes 1 cup = 250 ml (a standard metric one)
A US cup is only about 240 ml. None of my recipes require a great degree of precision, so this difference in cup size will matter little.

Soup is made to fill a 3 litre pressure cooker to the maximum line.

I season dishes with freshly ground salt and pepper to taste. Himalayan pink rock salt is a favourite. Quantities specified are only approximate (I use minimal salt, so you may need more than the recipes specify). Generally when I use stock cubes or soy or capers, added salt is reduced or omitted.

I use extra virgin olive oil almost exclusively for cooking instead of butter. Try and source the best possible quality (low acidity). Aim for 0.2-0.3 %. The flavour is superb then and the oil lends itself well to cakes, sauces, dips and dressings. The oil also then has a higher smoke point and can also be used for stir frying if the temperature is not super hot (don't let the oil smoke). Stored in a dark cool spot (I use the bilge) it will keep happily for a couple of years.

These are mainly plant based recipes, but occasionally dairy products have been used. They are generally only optional extras, so if you are vegan please turn a blind eye and just omit these .
Where a recipe specifies 'milk', this can generally be whatever you prefer: almond, rice, soy etc. Honey can be substituted with pure maple syrup.

Vegans Make Good Lovers

I personally have a very mixed diet, but it tends to be essentially pescetarian. Some days it is vegetarian or even vegan. Socialising, anything goes (food wise that is) . Many vegan recipes are brilliantly suited to cruising, as lots of the ingredients keep for months and months without refrigeration, even in summer.

Some of my favourite vegan recipes are soups so I will kick start this thread with the one made today. Even my meat loving husband made a lot of mmmmm noises consuming this tonight .

PUMPKIN and RED LENTIL SOUP

2 onions, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 pounds (1.5 kg) pumpkin, peeled and roughly chopped
1 mug (8oz) red lentils, rinsed
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 vegetable stock cubes or a little salt
Approximately 4 mugs of water

Sauté onions while chopping pumpkin.
Add the rest of the ingredients in a pressure cooker.
Bring to pressure, turn off and leave for several hours.
When needed, puree with a stick mixer and reheat.
Serve topped with pinenuts or chopped walnuts.

Excellent with warm homemade bread and more olive oil for dipping.

I will add more recipes tomorrow, as it is bedtime here, but I hope lots of people will chime in with their favourite recipes and provide all of us with new ideas and inspiration .

Re: Favourite Vegan Boat Recipes

This is a Greek staple, particularly during Lent. Variations occur from island to island (one I have come across included the juice of several lemons and no tomato).

This particular recipe came from the isolated island of Pserimos (population of around 150) in the Dodecanese when we anchored on the southern shore a couple of winters ago. A taverna owner shared her family recipe and gave me a lesson in making dolmades (they can be made meatless). The pressure cooker method is mine.

Anyway, it is very yummy:

FASOLADA (bean soup)

500g (1 lb) pack of navy beans
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
2 onions, peeled and roughly chopped
6 cloves of garlic, sliced very thinly
4 carrots cut in slices
2 potatoes, diced
2 celery stalks if available
800g tin of Roma tomatoes, roughly broken up in the tin
1 tbl dried rosemary, finely chopped
1 tbl dried thyme (most of the islands here are covered in thyme)
6 bay leaves
2 vegetable stock cubes or salt as required
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chilli flakes

Handful of finely chopped parsley

Soak beans 8 odd hours in roughly 3x their volume of water.
Rinse well before putting in a pressure cooker, covering with water.
Bring to pressure, turn off and leave an hour (or overnight if cooking them at bedtime), strain and rinse.

Rinse the pot and sauté the onion and garlic.
Add everything but the parsley.
Bring to pressure, turn off and leave at least several hours.

Add parsley when reheating (Greek basil is good with this and prolific here, although the Greeks seem to rarely use it in cooking).

This is a hearty meal in itself, with the hint of chilli giving the rich herby flavour a subtle kick:

Re: Favourite Vegan Boat Recipes

My Vegan friends love it when I make

Cucumber soup

Peel cucumbers and put into blender.
Crush some garlic (to taste) and put into blender
Crush some chili pepper(to taste) and put in blender
salt and pepper (to taste), put in blender

Blend until smooth

Re: Favourite Vegan Boat Recipes

Almost too easy to need a recipe, but stewed apples (and rhubarb) may be something cruisers have not considered making. When sealed while piping hot in glass jars it lasts for at least a few weeks unrefrigerated (I haven't tried longer). It is great for breakfast, dessert or even a snack.

STEWED APPLE

- 6 large apples (any kind or a combination, Granny Smiths are lovely and tart, but don't hold their shape as well)
- 1/2 cup water
- Juice of one lemon (needed to stop the apple darkening)

Peel and roughly chop the apple, tossing in the pot with water and lemon juice ASAP after cutting.
Simmer for 5 minutes (not critical).
Spoon into clean, dry glass jars and seal immediately.
(I no longer worry about sterilising the jars as I have never had a problem with it going off as long as it is spooned in while boiling).

We are heading off for 2-3 weeks where fresh provisions will be difficult to source (we prefer isolated anchorages), so the boat is well stocked up on apples at the moment:

Re: Favourite Vegan Boat Recipes

Boiled rice is OK but no good for your stomach.

I like red lentils boiled and dressed with pimenton dulce de la vera / onions / etc. Minimum fuss, maximum taste.

It isamazing so many people cook by recipes. We just go for it with whatever is at hand and things seem to work this way too.

I tend to find I get stuck in a rut unless I get ideas from others (particularly with combinations of herbs and spices as I have my favourites). Recipes like the above few I posted are very uncritical when it comes to many of the ingredients and I had to think about quantities before writing them out .

I find photos help too when it comes be being inspired. I will try and photograph what I make when it is plant based and add this to posts here.

I'm with the crowd that looks what is in the pantry or fridge. Then take a look at what kind of spices I may have, and see what the hell it results in.

I come up with some pretty weird concoctions at times , some of which I would do again.

As example, one of my favorites is an apple curry garlic and onion soup. I often get strange looks when I mention it, however it is delicious.

Ingredients are simple, apples, garlic, onion, salt, curry, and perhaps red peppers. Spices such as tarragon etc. maybe used to taste.

Caramelized the onions, then add small cubes of apples and a whole bulb of garlic, add water, boil.

Substituting oranges for apples doesn't work.

Re: Favourite Vegan Boat Recipes

Autumn lends itself well to apple recipes and after a hot summer where I have only been inclined to use the oven a minimum amount, the smell of apple and cinnamon wafting through the boat is a real treat. With a crunchy walnut cinnamon topping, the combination of flavours and textures in this recipe is perfect. I put a pot of coffee on as I took this torte out the the oven this morning. Warm cake and coffee are a match made in heaven .

APPLE TORTE

1/2 cup stewed apples, mashed with a fork (see previous recipe, or substitute with a mashed ripe banana)
2/3 cup soft brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice of one lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1.5 cups cake flour
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
(Optional: add a handful of rum or brandy soaked sultanas)

Topping:
Handful of walnuts, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or ginger)
1 tbl soft brown sugar
2 apples (not Granny Smiths as they go too mushy, Fuji are good)
Juice of one lemon
1 cup water

Whisk first five ingredients together.
In a separate bowl sift the flour and baking powder.
Mix sugar, nuts and cinnamon.
Peel, core and slice apples thinly and immediately soak in lemon and water mix to prevent them from going brown.
Gently fold the flour into the whisked liquids, avoiding over-mixing.
Spoon into a lightly oiled round silicone cake pan.
Drain the apple slices and pat dry (I drink the apple liquid infused liquid)
Arrange on top of the batter in an overlapping ring pattern.
Sprinkle with the sugar mix.
Bake at 175C for about 40 minutes.
Wait at least half an hour before turning out (I learned this the hard way LOL).

I usually throw an egg into this recipe, but tested it today without. It worked beautifully, the cake mix was just a little less light, but that is not a bad thing for a torte.

I think white rice causes constipation, but that may be more info than most people want to read on a recipe thread LOL.

If you have lots of my pumpkin and red lentil soup it at least fixes the problem .

Re: Favourite Vegan Boat Recipes

For all you lovers of bread, this is a brilliant recipe and easy to make on board. The coffee and cocoa give it a rich darkness.
Nick (s/v Jedi) perfected the recipe and posted it here:
http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...ead-55028.html

JEDI'S RYE BREAD
Makes a 2 pound loaf

355ml can of Guiness beer
1.5 tbl olive oil
3 cups white bread flour
1.5 cups rye flour
3 tbl sugar
2 tsp coarse salt
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp instant coffee
1 tsp cocoa (real, not sweetened or fantasy)
1.5 tsp instant yeast (keep yeast clear of salt)

Nick makes it in a Zojirushi bread maker using this method:
Tip beer and oil in the pan.
Add flour and the rest of the ingredients.
Use whole-wheat program.


My Greek version is made using Mythos beer and only one tablespoon of sugar as I prefer bread less sweet. I have no breadmaker on board, but it comes out perfectly kneading it 10 minutes by hand. I prove the yeast with a teaspoon of sugar and a quarter of a cup of warm water first, as summer's heat can kill yeast easily here, and checking beforehand that it is active saves disappointment later. Unless I am making it in summer I leave it to rise until doubled in bulk with the help of a hot water bottle (the extra warmth is essential for success). Bake it in an oiled silicone tin thickly dusted with flour and with more flour sifted on top. It needs about 50 minutes in a hot oven.

Thanks for sharing your recipe with the forum Nick!

This loaf of rye using Nick's fail-proof recipe needs nothing else other than being dipped into extra virgin olive oil to enjoy it while warm, but when it comes to toppings, the sky is the limit :

Re: Favourite Vegan Boat Recipes

This must be the easiest 'chocolate' dessert of all time. I have this daily and it is a totally guilt free way of enjoying the taste of chocolate (not that 'guilt' and 'choc' are two words that should ever be associated ).

You need to be a lover of bitter dark choc to enjoy this and the better the quality of the cocoa, the more decadent the taste. The banana is essential - it provides the necessary sweetness and creamy texture, but any other soft fruit can be added as well.

My favourite cocoa is Green & Black's organic fair trade. It is available from Amazon UK with free delivery to Greece, so I stock up when in a settled anchorage during winter and can take delivery easily. Interestingly it is nearly four times the price through Amazon US.

Green and Black's Organic Cocoa 125 g (Pack of 6): Amazon.co.uk: Grocery

I am open to suggestions regarding the name of this staple. Titles were never my forte. 'Mess' comes to mind as that is how I look with my face covered in choc after I have licked the bowl clean .

CHOC MESS

1 heaped tbl cocoa powder (preferably 85% cocoa)
Boiling water
1 ripe banana
1 kiwi (or other soft fruit such as apricot or peach)
Optional: nuts

Mix enough water into the cocoa to make a thick sauce. Leave to cool (it will thicken further).
Finely dice the fruit and mix in well.
Top with nuts if you like (I usually prefer this unadulterated )

Edited to add: I have been making this almost daily and now find the boiling water unnecessary. Just mash the banana and cocoa together. I often add a little ginger powder or a drop of vanilla essence. I usually throw in a few pieces of chopped fruit (whatever is in season and on hand - apple, grapefruit, orange, apricot, peach etc). It tastes like chocolate fondue .
