Instructions

Colman’s Mustard Vegan “Cheese” Sauce

1. Soak the cashews: Place 1 cup raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours to soften. Drain and rinse before using.
2. Blend the sauce: Add soaked cashews, 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, 1 cup plant milk, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp Colman’s mustard, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a high-speed blender.
3. Process until smooth: Blend on high until completely creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Heat (optional): For a warm sauce, transfer to a saucepan and heat gently over low, stirring constantly, until warmed through.
5. Serve: Pour over pasta, steamed veggies, or use as a dip. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Colman’s Spicy Vegan Shepherd’s Pie

1. Prepare the potatoes: Peel and chop 4 large potatoes. Boil in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Drain, then mash with 2 tbsp vegan butter and 1/4 cup plant milk until fluffy. Set aside.
2. Sauté veggies: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery; cook for 5 minutes until softened.
3. Add mushrooms and garlic: Stir in 2 cups chopped mushrooms and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook for 4 minutes, allowing mushrooms to release their moisture.
4. Add lentils and flavor: Add 2 cups cooked lentils, 1 cup peas, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 cup vegetable broth, 2 tsp Colman’s mustard, 2 tsp vegan Worcestershire, 1 tsp thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
5. Assemble the pie: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the lentil filling in a baking dish. Top evenly with mashed potatoes, using a fork to create texture.
6. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and filling bubbles at the edges. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Crispy Mustard-Maple Roasted Chickpeas

1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the coating: In a bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp Colman’s mustard, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tbsp olive oil.
3. Toss chickpeas: Pat 2 cups chickpeas very dry with a towel. Add to the bowl, toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp smoked paprika and 1/2 tsp sea salt.
4. Roast: Spread chickpeas on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway, until golden and crisp.
5. Cool and serve: Let cool for 10 minutes to maximize crunch. Enjoy as a snack or salad topper!

Tips & Variations

• Mustard power: For extra punch, use Colman’s mustard powder in place of prepared mustard—start with half the amount, as it’s quite potent.
• Make it gluten-free: All three recipes are naturally gluten-free, but always check labels on plant milk and vegan Worcestershire.
• Meal prep: Double the shepherd’s pie recipe for easy leftovers; it freezes beautifully.
• More veggies, more flavor: Add parsnips, sweet potatoes, or kale to the shepherd’s pie for extra nutrition and color.
• Change up the sauce: Try blending in roasted red pepper, miso paste, or smoked paprika for a new twist on the vegan “cheese” sauce.
• Crunchy chickpeas: For maximum crispiness, dry chickpeas thoroughly before roasting and use convection mode if your oven has it.
