Vegan Recipe of the Week- Breakfast Ideas

This week is a slightly different version of the VROTW feature. So many people ask me what vegans can eat for breakfast other than porridge or cereal with soy milk, that I thought I'd do a breakfast feature to offer some inspiration.

Monday

Start the week off with a delicious Oat Bagel served with dairy-free butter, jam and a banana.

Tuesday

Bake some delicious fruit muffins with banana, nuts or cranberries and have a muffin and coffee.

Wednesday

Grab some delicious fresh organic fruit and a Nakd bar for breakfast on the run.

Thursday

Keep it simple with fresh granary toast and baked beans with a little brown sauce.

Friday

Make some Jus-Rol Croissants and take them in for your colleagues - Friday treat time!

Saturday

Try a vegan sausage and hash brown roll or VBites Bacon and hash brown roll with a glass of chocolate almond milk.

Sunday

Make it a Sunday Brunch with a full English, vegan sausage and bacon, mushrooms, hash browns, granary toast and baked beans.

Special Days - Anniversaries, Birthdays, Valentine's Day etc.

Treat the loved one in your life to delicious iced cinnamon rolls freshly baked and served in bed with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Perfect!

Vegan Recipe of the Week - Brussel Sprouts with Chestnuts & "Bacon"

This makes a great snack, side dish or meal. It is fresh and delicious, tastes great and is satisfying for carnivores and herbivores alike!

Serves 4 as a side dish and 2 as a main course.

Ingredients:
12 fresh Brussel sprouts
4 medium mushrooms
200g whole chestnuts - cooked and peeled
3 cloves garlic
3 rashers of vegan bacon
1 tsp crushed red chilli
1 Tbsp soy sauce
olive oil for cooking
Ice cubes for shocking the sprouts
Salt and pepper for seasoning

Method:

Fill up a bowl with cold water and ice cubes and leave to one side.

Take the outer leaves off the sprouts along with the end of the stalk, wash and cut in half.

Put the sprouts into a pan of salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 6 minutes, then drain and plunge into the iced water. Drain again and put to one side.

Finely slice the garlic, slice the mushrooms, chestnuts and bacon slices.

Heat a wok or frying pan and drizzle in a little olive oil. Add the vegan bacon strips and fry for a few minutes until crispy. Remove from the wok and place to one side.

Add a little more oil to the pan and then add the chilli and garlic, fry for a couple of minutes.

Then add the chestnuts and mushrooms and stir fry for a couple more minutes.

Add a tablespoon of soy sauce and stir through before adding the sprouts.

Stir fry for another 2-3 minutes and then add the bacon, salt and pepper.

Stir to combine and serve immediately. Add a splash more soy sauce when in the serving dish. Mr Vox likes this served up with some homemade crusty bread rolls! 

Eat and Enjoy!
