Mega Breakfast
If you want a mega breakfast how about this? It can be vegetaruan or vegan and just about the best way to start a Sunday. The breakfast takes about 30 minutes to prepare and cook. If you can remember to marinate the tofu overnight it is even nicer.
Fried potatoes with onion and herbs
Smoked tofu rashers
Vegan scrambled ‘eggs’ or free–range eggs
Grilled tomatoes
Mushrooms
Baked beans
1. Finely chop one large potato and one medium onion. In a large non–stick frying pan gently fry the potato for five minutes, then add the onions and herbs. Continue to fry gently for another five minutes.
2. Thinly slice one block of smoked tofu and place in a shallow dish. Liberally sprinkle with tamari sauce (tamari is a type of soy sauce) and leave to marinate for at least one hour, ideally overnight if you can remember!
3. Fry gently in a little oil for four minutes on either side.
To make the scrambled ‘eggs’
1 packet of regular firm tofu, drained and mashed or 2 free–range eggs, beaten
1/2 a red pepper, finely chopped
4 mushrooms, diced
a good pinch of turmeric powder
tamari sauce
a little pepper
1. Gently fry the vegetables until soft, add all of the remaining ingredients and continue to cook for five minutes.
Serve your rashers, scrambled tofu and fried potato with mushrooms, grilled tomatoes and baked beans and you will be ready to take on the world, or go back to bed to sleep it off!
