    Protein: 17.7g
    Sugar: 9.4g
    Sodium: 1121mg

    METHOD

    Warm the sunflower oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the shallots and garlic in the pot for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the corn kernels, nutritional yeast, liquid aminos, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, and onion powder until evenly combined.

    Bring the corn mixture to a boil with the vegetable broth and non-dairy milk. Reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully purée about half of the corn kernels with an immersion blender (so it remains slightly chunky).

    Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, after bringing the soup to a simmer. Cook for another 5 minutes after adding the spinach and basil to the soup. Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F in the meantime. Remove the tops of the bread bowl loaves and remove the bread from the centre, leaving a 1 inch (2.5 cm)-thick wall on all sides. Toast the loaves until they are golden brown.

    Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper and divide it among the bread bowls. Serve immediately, garnished with smoked paprika and chiffonade-cut basil.
    RECIPE NOTES

    If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer half of the soup to a blender in small batches and carefully purée it with a towel over the top rather than the lid (or else you run the risk of it exploding everywhere).

    METHOD

    To make the tofu scramble and fajita veggies:

    Warm the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, use your hands to break the tofu apart into large crumbles.

    Brown the tofu for 2 to 3 minutes before turning it over to brown the other sides. On a couple of sides, you want a light brown crust.

    Turn the heat down to medium-low and stir in the nutritional yeast, turmeric, and Indian black salt until the scramble is evenly coated. Season the scramble with salt and pepper and move it to one side of the skillet.

    In the other half of the skillet, sauté the red onion and bell peppers until the onions are translucent. Season with salt and pepper after adding the black beans and spinach and cooking until the spinach has wilted.

    To assemble: Divide the scrambled eggs and fajita vegetables between two bowls. Serve with the salsa, avocado, and cilantro on top.

    LOADED POTATO BREAKFAST BOWL

    LOADED POTATO BREAKFAST BOWL

    SERVES 2 LARGE OR 4 SMALL PORTIONS

    FOR THE POTATO HASH
  • 2 tsp. coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 lb. (680 g) russet potatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup (160 g) diced white onion
  • 1 cup (180 g) diced tomato
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) diced red bell pepper
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup (20 g) firmly packed arugula

    FOR THE MUSHROOM GRAVY
  • 1 tbsp. (15 ml) light coconut milk, divided
  • 1/2 cup (80 g) diced white onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup (35 g) diced baby Bella mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp. (8 g) cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp. (12 g) nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp. (15 ml) liquid aminos
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Vegan cheese shreds, for topping (optional)
  • NUTRITIONAL VALUES

    Calories: 207kcal
    Fat: 5.6g (3.6g S.Fat)
    Carbs: 36.9g
    Protein: 6.7g
    Sugar: 6.3g
    Sodium: 1045mg

    METHOD

    TO MAKE THE HASH In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the coconut oil. Put the potatoes in when the pan is hot enough to make water sizzle. Cook, covered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (If you can, start your gravy now.) Add the onions to the potatoes, cover, and cook until they are translucent. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the tomatoes and bell pepper. Continue to cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are crispy and cooked all the way through.

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in the arugula just before serving to prevent it from becoming too limp.


    TO MAKE THE MUSHROOM GRAVY If possible, make the gravy at the same time as the potatoes; if not, the potatoes may become mushy when reheated.

    1 tbsp (15 mL) coconut milk in a medium saucepan
    Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Next, add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes before stirring in the garlic. Cook until the onions are almost translucent, then add the mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms have darkened and shrunk in size. Sprinkle the corn starch over the onion-mushroom mixture and stir until evenly coated.

    Place the contents of the saucepan, along with the remaining coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and liquid aminos, in a blender or food processor and pulse a few times for a smoother consistency.

    Return the gravy to the saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low setting and allow the gravy to simmer. Stir or whisk every few minutes until the desired thickness is reached, then season with pepper.

    Divide the potato hash between four bowls (don't forget to fold in the arugula first!) and top with cheese shreds and gravy, if using. Serve right away.
