Ingredients
3mediumOnions
5-6Potatoes
2cupsSoy Chunkssoaked
1tbspAll-Purpose-Flouruse oats for a gluten-free alternative
1½tbspPaprika Powder
1tspCaraway Seeds
1tspMarjoram
2tbspTomato Puree
1tbspMustard
1tbspVegetable Stock
Optional
1Bay Leaf
Instructions
Soak the soy chunks in about 1 litre of hot salted water and set aside. Meanwhile, peel and cut the potatoes into cubes and finely chop the onions.
Heat some oil or two tablespoons of vegan butter in a large pot. Add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes until soft and glossy. Drain the soy chunks, add them to the pot, and sauté for another few minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add paprika powder, marjoram, and caraway seeds (and bay leaf if used). Stir over medium heat until everything is nicely coated for about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, tomato puree, and mustard. Mix well and keep stirring so nothing sticks.
After 2–3 minutes, or when the bottom begins to stick, pour in about 1.5 litres of vegetable stock (or water). Bring to a boil, cover, and let it cook until the potatoes are soft or around 20–30 minutes.
Once the potatoes are tender, smash some of them with a fork to help thicken the sauce. Give it a taste, adjust salt and pepper to your liking, then serve hot with bread or your favourite sides. Enjoy!
