Vegan braised cucumber pan with minced meat substitute

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• ½ cucumber(s)
• 2 small potatoes
• ½ onion(s), diced
• 1 dash of oil, to taste
• ½ bunch of dill
• 3 tbsp, heaped mince substitute, manufacturer of your choice
• 150 ml water
• 2 tbsp, heaped tomato-pepper paste
• 1 tsp vegetable stock powder, granulated, possibly homemade
• 1 clove(s) garlic, to taste, finely diced

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Quarter the cucumber lengthwise and cut out the core. (I eat it immediately; you don’t have to throw it away. If you want to cook it with the cucumber, just reduce the amount of water.) Cut the cucumber strands lengthwise again and cut into small pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut into pieces about the same size as the cucumbers. Wash the dill and chop it finely, leaving the stems off. Mix the tomato and bell pepper puree with the water until smooth. In a lidded pan, heat the oil over medium heat and fry the onions and then the garlic. Add the ground meat substitute and fry. Add the potatoes and let them fry. Pour in the cucumbers, granulated stock, and the tomato and bell pepper water, reduce the heat, and put the lid on. Simmer until the potatoes are tender. Add the dill and let stand for a few minutes without heat. Add salt, if desired. Whether you peel the cucumbers or not is a matter of taste. This dish can be used as a side dish (maybe enough for 2) or as a main course.
