Chestnut Seaweed Shiitake Broth is another classic dish. I love this dish as we come into the colder climate and fresh chestnuts are available. Though, already pre-cooked ones will equally do. I love this broth especially because it combines some of my favourite ingredients such as seaweed, sundried tomatoes and sunflower seeds. The seaweed used is what is available. I use egg wrack seaweed, which I have in my freezer and will grind whether I have need for it.

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
