Fruits & Veggies Monday/Ragout ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐
Hello dear foodies!๐
Today I decided on a ragout that I liked as a kid. Most of the time you love childhood food because of the memories associated with it. Ragout, then with pork or beef was a classic Sunday lunch.
Since I associate this dish so much with my childhood, I had to do it in vegan and that is easier and more authentic than you think. You should only pay attention to the wine, because they are often not vegan. But there are vegan variants, which are also marked. Vegan wine can now be found in the supermarket.
Savory ragouts can be prepared on countless variations. There are no limits to your imagination. Use vegetables and mushrooms of the season. The basic recipe, however, always remains the same. Incidentally, ragouts are ideal for warming up or ready for freezing. This is how you cook once and prepare a prepared dish that you can refine before serving.
Ingredients for 3-4 people
- 300 g meat substitute
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2-3 carrots

Peel the pears, remove the core and halve the pears, then place in a saucepan, cover with water, add cinnamon bark and cloves and cook until soft. Cool the pears in the broth.
Preparation ragout
Clean carrots, parsley root and celeriac. Peel the onion and garlic and cut into small cubes.
Fry the meat substitute in a pan with 2 tablespoons of oil. Remove meat substitute from the pan and set aside. Fry the chopped vegetables in the pan for about 3 minutes.
Add the tomato puree and sautรฉ briefly and pour immediately with red wine.
Add the meat substitute and simmer for 10 minutes on a low flame.
Add thyme, tarragon herb, marjoram and vegetable stock, cover with lid and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Add cream and if you want to thicken with cornstarch.
Today I have chosen pasta as a side dish, but it also taste potato dumplings or napkin dumplings for this hearty, delicious dish. A small dab of cranberry jam makes the whole thing perfect!
This looks absolutely heavenly my Dear and I remember the name Ragout from back home, but we were usually having goulash, which I think is similar. It's amazing how the meat substitute looks so much like the real thing and I bet it tastes delicious, except it's cruelty free. Great recipe Heidi, well done ๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐๐
Thank you dear Lena, yes you are right, goulash is made similar only with a lot of onion๐
Thank you for sharing! Healthy food. โค๏ธ
Thank you for the visit ๐
How appetizing ! ^_^
Many thanks :)
For some reason I have an aversion to fruit in savoury dishes. But this Ragout of yours looks delicious @proanima. So many people don't realize that wine is often not vegan. Scary thought but I guess we take for granted that the only ingredients are grapes!
Many thanks @buckaroo, It used to be unfamiliar for me to eat fruit with spicy foods, but today I like to eat it, it's a great taste experience. Meanwhile, my husband and I also produce home-made wine from an old grape variety for our own consumption.
Really? That's amazing @proanima! We've only made wine once ever with passion fruit. It was delicious! Do you post about your wine making?
Maybe I'll write about it, wine made from passion fruit sounds very interesting and tasty.
Another delicious and comforting bowl of goodness! I love how you always cook from the heart my friend. This is no exception. I would never have thought to add a pear to something like this, but I am sure it rounds out the meal beautifully. Good tip about the wine, too. I like using Barnivore.com to make sure what I am buying is vegan.
Thank you, for many people that sounds unusual, for me at first, but now I love this taste combination of sweet and hearty and many thanks for your tip @plantstoplanks!

Wow! Pairing that pear (see what I did there) with such a rich dish is genius. I never would have thought to do that @proanima. That looks like a nice hearty plate to warm up anybodies tummy. Thanks for sharing my friend!
Many thanks dear!
