How to Cook Vegan FINE DINING at Home
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- I've worked as a chef for 7 years and picked up a few recipes along the way. Most of these restaurants weren't vegan so I thought I'd try making a three course vegan menu you can make at home! Let me know what you think in the comments. Recipes are down below :)
Oyster mushroom scallops with cauliflower puree and a gremolata crumb
Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 king oyster mushrooms
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 tbsp vegan butter
100ml vegan white wine
150ml vegetable stock
1 tsp miso
1 tsp marmite
1 tbsp capers
1 tsp seaweed flakes
For the cauliflower puree
1 onion
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves
2 sprigs of thyme
½ a large cauliflower
1 tbsp vegan butter
125ml vegan cream
50ml veg stock
For the gremolata
1 small bunch parsley
1 garlic clove
1 lemon
2 tbsp toasted breadcrumbs
Method:
For the gremolata, finely chop the parsley, zest the garlic clove and lemon. Add to the breadcrumbs and mix. Season with salt and pepper.
For the cauliflower puree, slice the onion and garlic. Pick the thyme. Slice the cauliflower.
Heat up 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan on a medium heat. Fry the onion, garlic and thyme for 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower and vegan butter and fry for 4-6 minutes until caramlised and soft.
Add the vegan cream and veg stock and cook for 6-8 minutes or until the cauliflower is soft.
Pour into a blender, keep back some liquid and blend. Add additional liquid until it’s a thick puree.
For the mushroom scallops, cut the mushrooms into 3cm thick pieces. Chop the capers.
Heat up the oil over a high heat in a frying pan. Fry mushroom scallops for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are carmalised and feel slightly soft. Add the butter in the last couple minutes of cooking. Remove mushroom scallops from the pan.
Deglaze pan with white wine. Add in the veg stock, marmite, miso, capers and seaweed flakes. Reduce sauce until thickened, enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Serve by spooning a dollop of cauliflower puree on the plate, followed by the mushroom scallops, white wine sauce and the gremolata on top.

Thank you George, fabulous recipes as always. I am definitely going to try all of them. However, please, please, please stop using the flesh words (steak and scallops) - totally unnecessary and very off-putting.
