This recipe serves 2

Ingredients

• 14 Brussels Sprouts
• Salt
• Pepper
• About 150g of Tofu
• Soy Sauce
• Freshly chopped coriander
• 4 crumpets - I like Warbutons because they're soft, fluffy and vegan
• Vegan margarine - I use Pure Sunflower Spread
• Marmite

Method

1. Wash some sprouts and put them in a pan with some water
2. Add a little salt, put the lid on the pan and let them boil until they are as soft as you like them to be
3. Meanwhile, chop some tofu and place it on a plate
4. Drizzle soy sauce on the tofu and dress it with some chopped coriander - I like coriander so I am generous with it, you may want to use a handful, taste it and then add more if you like the flavours it adds to the dish
5. When the sprouts are nearly done, toast some crumpets
6. When the crumpets are as soft/crunchy as you  like them to be, spread some soya margarine on
7. Drain the water from the sprouts into a glass so that you can drink it or use it in a soup
8. Add the margarine to the sprouts and mix
9. Add freshly ground sea salt and pepper to the sprouts and place them on the plate
