Its been six years since my husband and I decided to become vegetarians. Being British born my husband was exposed to and often indulged in what is termed as a full English Breakfast. SO for his birthday I decided to make him a veggie version with no horsemeat(lol) .
To replace the scrambed eggs I substituted it with tofu which I purchased from Nutri Centre. I used nutritional yeast flakes to give it flavour and tumeric to make it yellow and seasoned with an msg free seasoning from Cosco.
The sausages are soya based and I grilled them in the oven along with the tomato halves and the hash browns. The plantain I fried and the baked beans I heated on the stove top. Now the piece des resistance was the steak or burger. I made that from scratch using regular oats .
INGREDIENTS
8 c water
1/4c olive oil
1/4 c Nutritional Yeast flakes
1 c Soy sauce
1 tbsp Garlic Salt
3tbsp Onion powder
Italian seasoning
8 c Quick porridge oats
Method
Mix all liquid ingredients in a pot then add all the dry ingredients then stir in the oats. Let it boil. Reduce the heat then spoon the mixture onto a greased baking sheet form individual round patties. Then place them in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 mins then flip them over and bake for another 15 mins. They can be frozen to be used later.
I found an awesome recipe on the bbc food website for his favourite carrot cake. He loved it
For my husband’s birthday dinner I lightly fried just to seal the bream fish then baked until golden and crispy. I used some of that oatburger again at dinner. I did corn on cob, roast meditteranean vegetables on a bed of basmati rice, new potatoes ,asparagus with avocado and tomato salad. It was a feast.
To add a touch of spring I did a nice spring bouquet of fresh flowers
First I sliced lemons and limes thinly then added the plant food to water->
Then I prepared my fresh flowers by cutting off excess foliage and cutting the stems dioganal
Then arranged in the vase
I hope you are enjoying your family and your home this Spring season. May God bless you as you
make you’re home a place where angels can dwell.
