Dinner Last Night

A quick and easy dinner.
















Green salad with sliced tomato, noodles, mixed veg and gravy.

The vegetable dish is onion and turnip sauteed in olive oil with some Italian seasoning garlic powder. When the onions were soft I added frozen peas and broccoli and some Gimme Lean sausage balls.

I bought a tube of Gimme Lean Sausage . It was on sale. I like to experiment with the analogs when they are on sale or when I get a coupon for them but I don't generally eat them.

This is, however, a very good review of the product. I am extremely happy with the performance. It really keeps its shape no matter what you do to it. Patties, balls, inside ravioli, crumbled in fried potatoes and stir fry, you can do ANYTHING to this and it stays in the shape you put it in. This is a VERY meat-like product. If someone served this to me, as a vegan, I would question it's plant-based status. E likes it a lot, except the sage spice is too strong for his tastes. I feel like if I buried it in the yard and came back in a year it would still be there. But it's delicious. It tastes and has texture just like breakfast sausage.

Conclusion
: It works just like sausage in recipes. Great flavor, strong on the sage, nice texture and ease of prep, just shape, heat and eat. If you like sausage, buy this. I'd like to try the regular kind sometime. I think it would be fun to make a meatloaf...
