For the sauce:

METHOD:

To prepare the marinade, add the vegan cream, paprika, cumin, garam masala, a big pinch of salt and the juice from the lemon half to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Then add in the vegan chicken to the bowl. Stir until everything is totally coated in the marinade and leave to sit in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/392°F/Gas 6 fan.

Next pierce the vegan chicken onto 4 skewers then add them to a baking tray, resting the ends of the skewers over the sides of the tray. Roast for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile start preparing the sauce. Peel and dice the onion. Then add the vegan butter to a frying pan over a medium heat. As soon as the butter has melted, throw in the onion and fry for 6 minutes.

Meanwhile peel and dice the garlic and ginger. Then add them to the pan and fry for 3 minutes.

Next add the cumin, garam masala, turmeric and ground coriander and fry for 3 minutes.

Then add the tinned tomatoes, sugar and chilli powder to the pan along with a big pinch of salt. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Cook the rice as per the packet instructions.

Transfer the sauce to a blender (this is optional), blend until smooth, then pour the sauce back into the pan and stir in the remaining vegan cream.

Remove the chicken from the skewers and add them straight to the pan along with any juices that have gathered in the baking tray. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Serve over basmati rice.

Title: Gigi Hadid’s Vodka Pasta Sauce – Vegan

Ingredients:

METHOD:

To make Gigi’s Spicy Vodka Pasta recipe vegan, we made a few simple swaps while still maintaining the integrity of the original recipe. I wanted to make sure that the recipe was both vegan, and a lot healthier for you to serve my whole-food, plant-based, oil-free readers.

Instead of olive oil, I simply sauted the garlic and onion in water. You can learn more about our oil free cooking approach here.

In place of cream, I used a mix of unsweetened almond milk (you could use cashew or soy milk as well), and refrigerated coconut milk for extra creaminess.

Finally, instead of parmesan cheese, I topped my pasta with nutritional yeast at the end which gave it the perfect cheesy flavour.

I have to admit, this recipe is INSANELY delicious, and one that will no doubt be on repeat in our kitchen.
