Big breakfast Vegan Fry Up

Squash, Aubergine, Mushrooms and Beetroot

Here in Brit land we have a time honoured tradition of a hearty breakfast, often eaten around 11.00am so becoming brunch.  Here's what I rustled up over the weekend - the choice of vegetable is pretty open really, on this occasion I added broccoli at the last few minutes, and some tasty beetroot sauce.  The whole thing took less than 20 mins to prepare.


Ingredients
Per person (amount is approx - depends on appetite!)
3 chestnut mushrooms - sliced
1 or 2 slices of organic pumpernickle per person
1 small aubergine (or a couple of slices off a large one)
2 slices of butternut squash - 1 cm
2 slices beetroot - half cm
3 broccoli florettes
1 tablespoon cold pressed (virgin) oil
Seasoning

Put oil in heavy frying pan on medium heat

Breakfast Fry Up with Beetroot sauce
Saute mushrooms for 3 mins or till browned then put in covered dish in a warm oven

Add aubergine, squash and beetroot - saute for about 10 mins, turning once

Place the vegetables in oven when they are soft

Fry pumpernickle 1 min on each side

Add a drizzle of more oil if required at any point.
Put pumpernickle on plate and add broccoli to pan with a little water.

Cover and steam for 3 or 4 mins whilst you arrange the rest of the food on the plate.

Beetroot may be liquidised with a little water, umeboshi and soya sauce to make a smooth condiment
Enjoy
