Sorry, I can't eat that

This was a spur of the moment creation that is incredibly simple and easy to make and completely vegan. I used the Lidl ‘Plant Menu, Ultimate No Beef Burger’ which I believe has a small amount of Barley in it but is otherwise free from anything troublesome in the ingredients.

The spices I use are delicious with most things so you can have it with whatever you want on the side. I chose a veggie burger because it’s just so easy. Rice would go well with this if you want an alternative.

This recipe feeds 2 people, it’s easy to double it for more.

Saute chilli veg

Ingredients

• Teaspoon cooking oil
• 1 brown onion
• 1/4 cup broccoli
• 1/4 cup cauliflower
• 1/4 cup peas and sweetcorn
• 2 carrots
• 1/4 cup of water
• Large teaspoon Garlic granules or one clove of garlic
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 large teaspoon Chilli flakes
• Pinch of salt (add more to taste at the end if you like)
• 1 small teaspoon gravy granules
• Veggie burger

Method

1. Pop your veggie burger in the oven.
2. Splash the cooking oil in a frying or saute pan and add the onion and spices.
3. Cook the onion until translucent.
4. Add vegetables and water, and sprinkle in the gravy granules.
5. Cook until veg is soft enough to pierce with a fork, and the water has reduced down to a light sauce.
6. Serve with burger.

I hope you enjoy both making and eating this.
