There's a great Asian grocer in Petone called Davis Trading, where I get some of my 'vegan supplies' from. One of which is a Veg-Chicken (not really, of course) roll. The 500gm roll is about $9.80 and the 1kg roll is about $20. The small roll is enough to feed a family of four and leave a little bit left over for the next day (nice cold to pick on, or add to sandwiches, or toss in the pan and serve with hash browns and spaghetti for a cooked brekkie).
Ingredients:
500gm Veg-Chicken Flavoured roll
Crushed garlic
Small handful of dried cranberries
Small handful of roasted pistachio nuts
1 large portobello (or breakfast) mushroom
Olive oil
Method:
- Slice the roll in thin slices, almost through but not quite! Your roll will open up like a concertina.
- Using a processor, combine garlic, cranberries, pistachios and mushroom with a dash of olive oil and mix until you get a pesto-like mixture.
- Stuff each of the slices of the roll with the mixture.
- Carefully place onto foil and dribble olive oil on top.
- Wrap and bake at 180degrees for approx 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Using a sharp knife, slice roughly into small pieces.
Delicious served with a selection of roast vegies, fresh peas and gravy. Yum!
