Photograph: Pete Dillon; food stylist: Bridget Wald/Smith Street Books Speaking about his support for Veganuary, Matthew says: “Stare into an animal’s eyes/soul and ask yourself – can I kill it and hear its screams go silent to pleasure my tastebuds? Not many can. Go vegan. Join the movement. Join Veganuary.” He also shares his encouragement and advice for people thinking of trying vegan this January in Veganuary’s new campaign video. A recent survey* found that six months after completing their one-month Veganuary challenge, 82% of those participants who were not vegan when they signed-up had maintained a dramatic reduction in their animal product consumption. Thirty percent were still eating a fully vegan diet, 38% were eating at least 75% less meat and other animal products than pre-Veganuary and 14% were eating at least 50% less. Put the coconut oil in a large frying pan on a medium-low heat, saute the onions for two to three minutes, then add the garlic and fry, stirring, for another two minutes. Add the chopped chilli, yellow pepper and thyme, and cook, still stirring, for two minutes more. Four years ago, I got a dog – Lenny the springer spaniel. He’s my best mate and I started to think ‘I wouldn’t eat my dog, why am I eating all these other animals?’. Then I watched Cowspiracy, and that was it. The next morning I went vegan. I guess I just woke up. Cow’s milk is for calves!

Place the wrapped sausages in a large saucepan of water and bring it up to a low simmer. Poach the sausages gently for 1 hour, until they feel very firm when squeezed. (Top-up the water if necessary.) Remove the logs from the water and leave to cool. Put in the fridge to chill overnight. Don’t remove the wrapping until they are completely chilled, or they will expand and lose their shape. This vegan Cajun dirty riceis a super easy yet satisfying meal that's just perfect for a busy weeknight. It's made with vegan sausage, loads of bell peppers and Cajun seasoning for an extra flavorful treat. Cajun seasoning— I added two full tablespoons of Cajun seasoning, and that resulted in a medium-spiced dish. The spiciness level of the Cajun seasoning may vary from one brand to another. Olive oil— I used olive oil to saute the veggies because I always have a bottle in the kitchen, but canola oil or any other vegetable oil would work. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then remove and discard the bay leaves, turn up the heat to medium-high and add the cooked rice. Stir constantly, so it doesn’t catch, and cook until the rice is properly heated through (if you like, microwave the rice before adding it to the pan).Obviously, you can’t go wrong with some vegan sausages, some soft white rolls and all the ketchup, but here are some ideas for those of you looking to get a bit more adventurous with your alfresco cooking.
