This one is all we have, and we have the power to change the way we treat mother earth through the foods we choose to eat.\u201d Being vegan doesn\u2019t have to mean a lifetime of lentils and lettuce leaves. Jay\u2019s innovative and imaginative recipes reimagine all your favourite dishes, from mac \u2018n cheese, chicken wings, burritos, bao buns and maki rolls, to burgers and bunny chow. When it comes to sweet treats, he has adapted family favourites, such as milk tart, pumpkin fritters and cheesecake, to be dairy free, while his smoothies and plant-based milks mean less reliance on store-bought products. Jay Mac has mastered the art of turning mushrooms into chicken, carrots into lox, celeriac into fish and beetroot into burgers, as well as the even darker art of making meat from wheat. In this book, he shares his secrets for how to make tasty, tempting and affordable vegan food at home. Penguin, R320<\/p>\n Pork belly skewers with sticky bitter orange dipping marinade<\/strong><\/p>\n Executive Chef Kerry Kilpin from Steenberg Farm has shared her up-until-now-secret signature recipe for pork belly skewers with sticky bitter orange dipping marinade. They take less than an hour to prep and prepare, and this serves six.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll need: 500g pork belly \u2013 no bone, and rind removed; olive oil; Togarashi spice; salt and pepper<\/p>\n To make: Halve the pork belly pieces, place on a skewer and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and togarashi spice. Togarashi has a nice chilli bite so use as much to need to suit your taste buds.<\/p>\n In a preheated pan, pan-fry the pork on medium heat until golden on both sides. Turn down to a low heat and continue cooking until cooked through.<\/p>\n For the sticky bitter orange dipping marinade, you\u2019ll need: 125g sugar; 30m red wine vinegar; 500ml chicken stock; 10ml soy sauce; 35 drops Angostura Bitters; 1 orange; 15g corn flour; 20ml water; 30g butter<\/p>\n To make: Place the sugar in a pot on a medium heat, allow the sugar to melt and start to caramelise. Once the sugar reaches a light brown colour; deglaze with red wine vinegar and stock. Bring the sauce to the boil and reduce by half, add the juice of one orange, Angostura Bitters, soy sauce, and butter. Dissolve the corn flour in the water, thicken the sauce with the corn flour and water solution and season with salt.<\/p>\n Serve the pork skewers warm with the sticky sauce in a bowl on the side for dipping or drizzled liberally over them. Serve, obviously, with a glass of your favourite Steenberg wine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Choosing kindness in your kitchen, selecting vegan options, ensuring you buy free-range & organic animal protein … it\u2019s all about making the best choices in life.
