Salisbury "Fake" Steak

Sadly, we devoured this goodness before I thought to take a pic. I know the title sounds disgusting but it was super yummy, easy, and a nice change of pace from our vegan diet, in the fact that it was substantial and felt like the real thing!

You will need:

*1 packet vegetarian Onion Soup mix-some contain beef broth so make sure to check the ingredient list!

*2 cups water

*6 Morningstar Breakfast Patties-not sure if these are vegan. I had some in my freezer I had gotten awhile back.

*2 TB vegan margarine

*1 TB flour

**Start by making a roux-melt the margarine and SLOWLY add teeny bits of the flour and whisk in to incorporate. If you dump all the flour in to begin with-lumpy gravy. And lets face it-No one likes lumpy gravy >.<

**Combine the Onion Soup mix with the 2 cups water in a separate Measuring Cup.

**Then, add the Onion Soup/water mixture to the pan with the roux, whisking until combined.

**Microwave the Morningstar Patties until mostly thawed, then add to gravy.

**Let gravy simmer for about 10 minutes until it starts to thicken to desired consistency.

----->VOILA! Salisbury Fake-Steak

I served it over a bed of Brown Rice with a side of Broccoli. It was FAB! Now I know how great it turned out, I am ready to make it again, adding fresh onions and mushrooms. As Emeril would say - "Let's kick it up a notch!"

I pinky promise next fabulous post will contain pictures. I'm new to this whole "blogging" thing. At least it gives me an excuse to use my pink camera. That's right. Pink. Jealous? o.O
