Worcestershire Sauce (vegan) recipe question

[Guest guest]

I'm very new to this style of cooking and I keep seeing ingredients that I have

no idea what they are or have had no prior experience with, but, hey, that's

part of the fun of new discoveries. This one has something that has me stumped.

What is Braggs? And where do I find it?

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp Braggs

2 tsp water

It's good stuff! Okay, it's made by a person by the name of Bragg and is her

special recipe, contains only pure water and soybeans and is not fermented.

It's not like soy sauce because it's - well, it's Braggs. Sometimes referred to

as

Bragg's Amino. It's a stand-by for vegetarian cooking (though I imagine

unheard of outside of the western world), because it gives a great depth of

flavour to sauces and gravies and all that. It should be available at your

healthfood store in various sizes of bottle. I get a medium-sized bottle and use

it quite a lot ;=)

 

As to the Braggs in this recipe: You could possibly substitute light soy sauce -

tamari soy sauce perhaps. I say this because another Vegan Worcestershire

Sauce recipe I have found uses tamari. I'll post that recipe below here, again

with the understanding that I have not repeat not tried it. It looks so

different

from the recipe I posted earlier that it really makes one wonder - but

remember that there are several brands of worcestershire sauce (the non-veg

kind) and they all taste a little different, or so I am told by non-veggies who,

bless em, kindly answer these kinds of questions for me ;=) - cuz they have

somewhat different formulas/recipes. So yeah, use the soy sauce.

 

Here 'tis:

 

VEGAN WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE II

 

6 Tbsp water

4 Tbsp tamari soy sauce

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

6 Tbsp apple juice concentrate or brown rice syrup

1 tsp blackstrap molasses

1 tsp powdered ginger'

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper

a pinch of onion powder

a pinch of powdered cloves of pumpkin pie spice

 

Blend all ingredients. Y0ou can do this in a glender, with an electric hand

mixer, or an egg beater, or if you don't own any of these, just put everything

in

a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid and shake, until it's well blended.

Store

in the refrigerator, and use as called for in your favourite recipes.

 

Makes 1 cup.

Warning: Not tried and true by me.

 

Best,

 

Pat - who refuses to attest to the goodness of either of these recipes but will

try one of them soon! ;=) And although I can't compare it to the non-veggie

version, I can compare it to the Wizard vegan worcestershire sauce I have in

the cupboard.
