The sausages in this recipe they need to be prepared 24 hours in advance. The recipe for the sausages are the same as used in the Vegan Hotdogs / Carrot Dogs.
Vegan scrambled eggs, vegan bacon, baked beans, carrot sausages, Homemade Tomato Ketchup, baked tomato and red onion. This is the ultimate English breakfast, classic, heavy and hearty, but all vegan !
Kala Namak id the only odd ingredient here, and it makes the eggy flavour in the scrambled eggs, which is optional.
The sausages too are quite convincing and meaty in taste, if made in the correct way, if boiled too little they won't soak in the marinade and get the right texture, so follow the steps carefully to get a good convincing vegan sausage.
The vegan bacon can be tricky to handle, but once you get the hang of it its quite easy. Just be careful when soaking the rice paper that not all are stuck together. But double or triple rice paper layers is good, it's gonna give you that authentic feeling, crispy edges, but also that softer inside texture.

- Cutting board and knife
- 1 ovenproof dish
- 1 pan
- 1 tong

- 1 big bowl
- 1 small bowl
- 1 spoon to stir

Instructions
- Peel and half the red onion. Wash the tomatoes, leave the stalk on. Put in an ovenproof dish. Bake in the oven at 200c (390 F) in the middle of the oven for about 35-40 minutes on normal setting until fully roasted.
- Make sure you have the sausages ready-marinated. In a pan drizzle some plant oil, place the carrots and turn the heat on high. With a tong flip the carrot so it gets cooked evenly all around. Meanwhile prepare the vegan bacon.
- Pour some of the sausage marinade in a plate along with the paprika and mix it. Take 2 rice paper sheets and cut them in long strips. Soak the double sided strips in the marinade. They have to be fully wet before putting on the pan.
- When the sausages are finished place them in the oven with the tomatoes and onion.
- Drizzle more oil on the pan if needed and fry the vegan bacon strips. The pan has to be oiled, or else the bacon will stick to it. Fry on both sides for about a minute or two until they are crisp on both sides.
- Prepare a plate with kitchen paper. When the bacon is done place on the paper for it to soak in the excess oil. Do the same with all the bacon until everything is cooked.
- Crumble the firm tofu in a pan. Add in the turmeric, kala namak and pepper. Mix well.
- In a smaller bowl add in the plant milk and the flour. Stir until mixed and add to the pan with the oil, turn the heat on high. Stir occasionally and fry for about 5-10 minutes. The texture should still be sticky when finished.
- In a small pot add in the white beans in tomato sauce. Turn the heat on high. Stir on occasion.
- Just before the scrambled tofu and the baked beans are ready, you can put the vegan bacon in the oven to heat up again. In the oven you should now have the tomatoes, onion, sausages and bacon all warm, and on the stove the baked beans and scrambles tofu ready.
- Serve on two plates with Homemade Tomato Ketchup for that extra something and make someone very happy in the morning with this grand breakfast ! Add extra salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Enjoy !
