Como preparar um recheio de mincemeat vegan para empadinhas de Natal?

As empadinhas de Natal são uma das guloseimas tradicionais de inverno e Natal mais populares no Reino Unido.

Estas deliciosas empadinhas de massa quebrada são recheadas com mincemeat feito de frutas secas como passas, arandos e especiarias como canela, noz-moscada, gengibre, cravinho, pimenta-da-Jamaica, casca de limão e laranja, misturado com gordura e, por vezes, com álcool como brandy. Como o nome sugere, antigamente era preparado com carne e gordura animal, mas hoje em dia as versões mais populares são, de facto, vegan e vegetarianas.

Embora seja possível encontrar mincemeat já preparado nos supermercados, muitas pessoas acham que é difícil de fazer. Mas não se deixe enganar, pois o recheio de mincemeat caseiro é fácil de preparar e simplesmente delicioso. É muito mais saboroso do que os produtos comprados, pelo que vale a pena dedicar algum tempo e prepará-lo na sua própria cozinha. Um frasco de mincemeat caseiro também é um óptimo presente para a família e amigos.

Pode preparar o mincemeat com antecedência em Novembro para que amadureça até ao Natal (se utilizar álcool, dura até um mês), mas também resulta bem se o preparar em cima da hora, mesmo antes das suas confecções festivas (sem álcool).

Na nossa receita vegan, utilizamos uma mistura das nossas frutas secas preferidas (pode escolher as suas favoritas), algumas lascas de amêndoa para uma textura mais única, manteiga vegetal em vez de gordura animal e brandy.

Aqui está como preparar o recheio de mincemeat vegetal

Ingredientes

(para aproximadamente 12 a 16 empadinhas)

350g de frutas secas variadas: passas, arandos, sultanas, groselhas, cerejas glacé (pode combinar as suas frutas secas preferidas)
50g de casca cristalizada de limão e laranja
1 maçã ácida (picada)
1 laranja (sumo e raspa)
50g de lascas de amêndoa (para uma textura e sabor únicos)
100g de açúcar mascavado
60g de manteiga vegetal mole (servirá de aglutinante e dará consistência espessa)
1/2 colher de chá de canela
1/2 colher de chá de gengibre em pó
1/2 colher de chá de noz-moscada em pó
1/2 colher de chá de pimenta-da-Jamaica ou cravinho
100 ml de brandy (opcional). Se estiver a preparar para crianças, use sumo de laranja ou arando em vez disso


Modo de preparação

Misture bem todos os ingredientes num tacho pequeno e deixe cozinhar em lume médio-baixo durante aproximadamente 40 minutos até engrossar (a maior parte do líquido deve evaporar). Mexa de vez em quando.

Reserve por uma hora para arrefecer e depois mantenha no frigorífico durante um dia até estar ideal para usar nas empadinhas.
