Has anyone got a vegan peppercorn sauce recipe? I used to have the creamy stuff from M&S before I went vegan and I'd really like to try making my own!

Hello - I don't recall having either vegan or non vegan peppercorn sauce but it sounds nice. Have you seen this?

Otherwise you can often veganise creamy recipes by using soy cream but you have to leave adding the cream to the sauce right until the last minute because it curdles even more than the dairy stuff does IIRC.
Mind you I'm the last person to be dishing out advice about vegan haute cuisine - with any luck you will hear from someone who knows what they're talking about soon
Thanks, that recipe sounds yummy! Now all I have to do is buy a blender / food processor!
That might be an advantage of using soy cream, that you wouldn't need one! Although they do come in handy.
Now I've re-read the recipie it does look like I could manage it without a blender. I could still do with one for grinding chickpeas for falalfel and humous though!
Yes, I have a smallish food processor and I use it quite a lot even though I am not exactly a keen cook. Hummus, chopping nuts, pureeing stuff for soup (if I can be bothered) - that sort of thing.
Ingredients
Fry the shallots, mushrooms and peppercorns over a medium heat for 5 mins, until the shallots have softened and the mushrooms browned. Pour the brandy and the wine into the pan, turn up the heat and boil rapidly until reduced by half. This will take about 5 mins. Add the stock and miso, and reduce again, this time by two-thirds. Stir the cream in to the sauce and allow it to thicken slightly.
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 large shallots, finely chopped
- 6 medium mushrooms , sliced
- 2 tsp peppercorns , crushed
- 3 tbsp brandy
- 100ml red wine
- 200ml vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp miso paste (or 1 tsp yeast extract)
- 3 tbsp soya cream
^ Sounds lovely!

Yes, it does, and not too much effort either. What would it be good with?
I'm thinking tofu type steak and chips / roast spuds? Maybe some pea's thrown in for greenery.
Mmmmmm.
Maybe I'm weird though

Yum. Do you mean actual tofu, or some kind of knitted pseudo-meat? I'm not usually all that keen on the latter but maybe you would want something with a bit more texture than just tofu?
Thinking about it, the sauce a la mode de Sluggie would probably go well with slices of nut roast, if one could be @rsed to make such a thing, which I can't at the moment but might one day!
We make something similar with taifun smoked tofu, cut and fried with the onion.

I would use any firm textured tofu or similar. It's actually quite good with Fry's burgers.
Gwydion's menu sounds perfect.
