Dinner!

Gravy:
One tablespoon of olive Oil
One chopped onion
500ml of vegetable (Oul) Stock
4 Tablespoons of nutritional yeast
4 tablespoons of tamari (Soy Sauce)
2 teaspoons of Garlic powder (4 cloves)
Pinch of Black pepper
3 tablespoons of cornflour
(Mushrooms opt)

Instructions:

Heat olive oil in pan and lightly fry the onion

Mix the nutritional yeast into the stock. Add the soy sauce, the garlic powder and the black pepper.

Add the stock mix to the onions
use a sieve to add the the cornflour
add more oil to thicken as needed

Simmer for 10-15 mins. Pour the gravy through the sieve and serve!


Chicken Pie (Main course)

2 Potatoes
just roll filo pastry sheets
One carrot
Mushy peas
garden peas
mushrooms
tender stem broccoli
Vegan Quorn chicken slices (Or chicken depending on preference)
plant based butter (Or butter)
Plant based milk (Or milk)
All season spice


Peel your spuds like a ravenous Irish person. Chop them but be careful of your pinkies! Bring to boil. Cook until soft, add butter, milk, salt and black pepper and mash into little fluffy Irish clouds.

Wash your carrot well. Scrape the shskin if preferred. Bathe in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, add the All season spice and roast! Ach Bí cúramach! (Be careful) Keep your eye on the lickle fella, you don't want a burned snowman's nose for dinner!

Put the Mac mushy peas in a pot and bring to boil, simmer for 20 mins (ish)

Put the tender, oh so tender stem broccoli in a pot and bring to boil. Cook until soft, soft and tender awwwww!

Add the quorn pieces to the gravy mix, let it simmer.
Add the garden peas, if you have peas in your garden!

Lightly glaze a Pyrex dish with oil and add on a sheet of pastry, pour in the gravy mix when the vegan pieces are cooked.
Cover the dish with another sheet of Paddy's pastry. Glaze with margarine (Or an egg if you eat eggs) to brown.  Make those mad leafy things to place on top, Make 4 for extra luck!

Serve all of the mess to make it not look like a dog's dinner, and Bon Appetit!
