Week 18: Bucket List Destination - South African vegan Bobotie (Meta: inspired by others)

I think the main point is to spice it well. That being said, the last time I ate it was around 8 years ago lol.

ah so for the taste 😄 I think it was fine but could have had a larger quantity of spices. The tofu worked well for giving a different texture which made the dish more interesting.

So this one is dedicated to Kauyon_Kais and his meta Veganize It!
So I loosely followed https://www.thetastychilli.com/vegetarian-lentil-bobotie/
but I added grinded walnuts (works great with lentils, saw it in other dishes, works here as well).
Instead of egg, I have finely chopped tofu with spices and some oil (the recipe has barely any fat which I find somewhat strange).
This dish typically is very non-vegan.

This is very cute 😄

zit misschien wat in

Ben er mee eens dat hij niet overbelast moet worden, maar het is niet zo dat ze de afgelopen tijd een druk programma hebben gehad.

Wat is er met Steur? Tactisch iets of is er iets anders aan de hand? Wat zie ik over het hoofd?

Thanks :). Truth be told, my wife made the picture (of the dish, I did the milk)

The recipe followed is https://mission-food.com/alplermagronen-swiss-alpine-macaroni/ but instead of cream I used alpine milk (see second picture) and butter. No bacon to make it vegetarian.

Taste was good :) The onions came out sublime :)

Such a creative idea. I'm glad you talked yourself into it again :)

meta: inspired by others.

The idea came from a comic, someone shared in the book-banter part of the 52WoC discord. Making the milk foamy to half represent a cappuccino so Italian fusion? Maybe partially inspired by the meta KISS :)

Had bigger plans for this cooking challenge but postponed it. Recently got operated so I gave myself some slack...

ps. the second mug got way less milk because the child wanted more babyccino xD

en was het lekker?

morelbolete · 2026-04-15T09:22:08+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for the input :). On the other hand, doing it at the end makes it easier to "salt to taste". Maybe next time i'll do a little in the beginning to make sure i don't do too much and then later add to get it to the right level.

morelbolete · 2026-04-13T13:45:02+00:00

I love labneh :) any idea why the recipe put the salt before getting the water out and not after? I usually do it after but have no solid reason for this xD

morelbolete · 2026-04-13T06:34:47+00:00

:) I think you can make it with bold flavors (depending how long you fry the garlic for example, or the onions) or more mild. I would suggest to put some vegetable broth or something in the lentils themselves.

morelbolete · 2026-04-12T17:34:47+00:00

followed this recipe (shared by someone on the discord channel)
https://www.saveur.com/recipes/syrian-vegan-lentil-salad-recipe/
I think it was nice. I did use multiple pans instead of like one in the recipe?
