Vegetarian mutton made from mushroom
stalks is quite popular among vegetarians. The round shaped vegetarian
mutton is also a natural soy protein product. Some claim that the mutton is
free from preservatives whereas others are not convinced about it. I suppose if we do not go overboard with it, we are in
perfect control of our diet. That said, I do like the taste of the mutton. Try deep frying the mutton with some corn flour and salt dusted on top and just like me, you probably will enjoy the taste.
Buying the mutton
is no big deal because you can find it at the vegetarian section of any supermarket. Compared to my authentic Chicken Rendang recipe, this is a simplified version without coconut milk or kerisik. Do refer to the other recipe of Nasi Lemak Prawn Sambal on how to cook the
rice. The rest of the condiments to be eaten as a full meal depends on your good
self.
For a change and for the feel good factor, we shall "Yum Yum""with this nasi lemak and Vegetarian Mutton Rendang???
Right on to the recipe now...
Ingredients
1/2 packet (about
300g) vegetarian mutton - break up as individual rolls, gently rinse and
squeeze out the water.
5-6 kaffir/limau
purut leaves
1/2 lime - extract
juice
4 tbsp oil
Salt and sugar for
taste
For the rendang
paste
10 dried red chilies
5 shallots
1 inch
galangal/lengkuas
5 garlic
** Blend/process
to a thick paste
When oil is
heated, fry the paste till oil splits.
Add mutton and all
the other ingredients.
Gently stir as not
to break the mutton rolls.
Once the gravy thickens (depending on how thick you prefer), remove from heat.
What an interesting substitution! So much flavor in this dish, and I am trying to eat more vegetarian food these days.
