Caramelised Onion, Cabbage and Mushroom on Toast

An excellent brunch!

Thinly sliced onions were fried in a bit of sunflower oil, with a teaspoon of molasses sugar and a pinch of salt. When they were caramelised I added thinly sliced cabbage, then when that was cooked I added sliced mushrooms. That's really all there was to it. Well worth trying, and an excellent way of using up the ubiquitous cabbage in the veg box.

Chocolate and Brazil Toast

I discovered the joys of mixing cocoa, sugar and butter as a sweet-toothed child. This is my grown-up vegan version. Experiment with proportions to suit your taste. You may need to add a little (plant based) milk to help the texture of the mixture. Soon I am going to experiment with whiskey as the liquid. Very grown up.

TVP and Beans on Toast

Lazy and proteinacious.

So:

Baked beans, TVP, water, red wine, salt and pepper in a pan. Boil for about 5 minutes.

Toast bread, butter it.

Go.

This would be good with chillie powder, tabasco or Frank's. But I had oxidising wine, so there.

Actually, I feel a bit funny about this TVP stuff, but when you're feeling uninspired and in need of some nutrition it jumps to attention, and fast. It's also cheap and you can buy it in bulk and it will last pretty much forever.
