* Veggie Mince Pie *you will need vegetarian mince gravy - i use bisto granules really tasty and easy onions - sliced mushrooms - sliced puff pastry - I use ready made stuff, really easy 1 x egg to glaze pre-heat oven to 200°C /400°F / gas mark 6 cook the mince in a large frying pan add mushrooms and onions when cooked add gravy keeping it to a thick consistency stir until everything is covered in gravy pour into a large oven proof dish roll out the puff pastry not too thin, half an inch thick is perfect place over mince overlapping all edges of ovenproof dish glaze with whisked egg make a few leaves out of spare pastry for decoration and place on corners of pie then glaze the leaves bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven until pastry has risen and has gone golden brown if this doesn't turn out to be the most delicious pie you have tasted either change your gravy or let me know.
* Vegetable Stir Fry *you will need broccoli carrots mange tout - flat green beans onions mushrooms bean sprouts red / green / yellow peppers 3 x vegetable oxo cubes oil for frying sesame oil for flavour - my favourite is organic toasted sesame oil slice all vegetables into fair sized but thin chunks slice carrots into long, wide but thin slices heat some oil in a wok or large frying pan add carrots first they take longest fry until they go a paler colour than they were add broccoli - fry until bright green and nearly soft then add all other ingredients fry, stirring constantly sprinkle oxo cubes on vegetables add a few shakes of sesame oil stir the flavour into all the vegetables serve immediately any of the ingredients can be varied to suit your taste but remember to fry the vegetables that take the longest to cook (broccoli, carrots etc,)before adding the others ( bean sprouts, peppers etc).
* Onion & Mushroom Gravy *you will need gravy - i use bisto granules really tasty and easy 1 x large onion sliced finely 100g mushrooms sliced make up the gravy as usual put in a saucepan and sprinkle in mushrooms and onions heat on a low heat until the mushrooms and onions are soft serve. nice with a roast vegetable dinner, with pies, in fact anything where you would normally use gravy.
