Soy Sausages With Potatoes - quick and never wrong -
Cook some potatoes unpeeled in salty water.
Put your favourite soy sausages in a pan.
It's very important to arrange them in Black Flag style, as my loveable friend Flo taught me. What an obvious idea!
Fry til slightly brown. Serve sausages with potatoes and ketchup and/or mayo or any sauce you prefer. It's kinda convenience food, but not too crappy. I sprinkled some fresh parsley over it. Makes quite a different appearance...
Parpadelle with Bell Pepper Cream Sauce
I finally found really good Parpadelle, big ribbon pasta.
The sauce:
1 onion, finely cut
1 red bell pepper
A few mushrooms
1 package soy cream (250ml)
fresh basil leaves
Fry onion in a little olive oil, add bell pepper, season with salt and pepper to taste. Add soy cream and mushrooms, let boil up and then reduce heat to a minimum, just let it simmer.
Cook parpadelle al dente and mix up with the sauce and fresh basil before serving. It's so creamy and tasty and a real meal, but doesnt take so much effort.
Potato Gratin
Cut a few potatoes unpeeled in very very thin slices. Layer them in a casserole, season with salt, pepper, little bit of veggie broth and herbs de provence. Pour just as much soy milk over it that the potatoes are covered. Then crumble the soy cheese over it and cover with tin foil. I prefer cheese from Redwood and Pural, any others I can't recommend by now. This time I used Redwood Supermelting Cheezly Edam Style and it was perfect.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until golden brown. Time for preparing: about 10 minutes. The rest happens in your oven.You can also use soy cream instead of milk and add finelyfinely cut onions or any other veggies. You can add herbs like savage. But even if not, this simple variation is sooo great.
And of course it perfectly goes along with something else like fried tofu slices or seitan or burgers or whatnot. But if you're sulky and pouty and feel like a 10-year-old child this is a perfect whole meal.
