Why Simon Howie’s veggie range will convert you this Veganuary and beyond
Thought Veganuary meant cutting out all your favourites? Not on Simon Howie’s watch! Savour your meat-free vowie with its best-selling (and Vegan Approved) veggie range
When you think of where you’ll stock up on your Veganuary produce, a butcher may not be the first place that springs to mind – but then not all butchers are Simon Howie. Not only is the brand responsible for some of the UK’s best-selling meat products, but its Veggie range is also loved up and down the UK.
If you expected you’d be cutting out your beloved fry up during your month of veganism, think again. With the Simon Howie Veggie Breakfast Pack, you can enjoy the big, bold flavours of a cooked breakfast, but with none of the meat. In fact, its delicious black pudding (made with a tantalising blend of oats, onions and spices) has been such a hit, it’s now sold separately, so you can enjoy it any time of day. You’ll also find a slice of Veganuary happiness in the Veggie Square Sausage, the first widely available vegetarian Lorne sausage in the UK. And, you can rest assured, all of Simon Howie’s meat-free alternatives have been completely Vegan Approved by The Vegetarian Society.
The UK’s best-selling Veggie Haggis
TAs Scotland’s national dish, Simon Howie has gone above and beyond to perfect its haggis recipe – and its Vegetarian Haggis is no exception. As moreish as the original, it’s made from a sumptuous blend of pulses, seeds and vegetables and is bursting with flavour thanks to a carefully curated mix of aromatic spices. Naturally, it will taste great with your traditional neeps and tatties, but its versatility knows no bounds. Why not use it to whip up some spicy vegan quesadillas, or to create a lip-smacking vegan burger? The possibilities are endless!

Ingredients
Method
1. In a bowl, break up the tofu with a fork and mix with the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, turmeric, ¼ tsp paprika and some freshly ground black pepper. Leave the mixture to sit for 10 mins, then add to a pan and lightly sauté the mixture over a medium heat for 5 mins, before transferring to a bowl and setting aside.
2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan, then cook the onions and garlic over a medium heat for 2-3 mins. Add the beans, passata, vegetable stock and the rest of the paprika, then bring to the boil for 10 mins, until the beans are soft and the sauce has thickened.
3. Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Crumble the Simon Howie Veggie Black Pudding into the pan and fry for around 6-8 mins until cooked through.
4. Place the tortilla wraps on a microwaveable plate and heat for 50-60 secs (based on 800W oven) until warm. To serve, layer the fillings up on each tortilla, starting with the beans, then add the tofu scramble, Veggie Black Pudding and finish with slices of avocado. Sprinkle over the coriander for garnish, roll up and enjoy.
