DINNER - Mushroom, Leek, Lentil & Sage Sausages with Mustard Mash and Onion Gravy: (Serves 2)
For the sausages: (Makes 6)
2 leeks, chopped
1 mug lentils, cooked
1 packet (400g) mushrooms
2 tbsp nutritional yeast: http://amzn.to/20EtVKC
1 tbsp chickpea flour: http://amzn.to/25aNOOw
Salt and pepper
Handful fresh sage leaves, chopped

Mash:
5 med potatoes, peeled and cut into large cubes
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
Salt and pepper

Gravy:
1 white onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp onion flakes (optional, they don’t dissolve and kind of float in your gravy.. tastes good though!): http://amzn.to/25aNBL8
2 tbsp tamari: http://amzn.to/1X4stRS
Black pepper
1 mug veg stock: http://amzn.to/1nWMnkM
Start making the sausages by frying up the leeks in a little olive oil on a medium heat. Add in the cooked lentils and leave to cook whilst you blend up the mushrooms in a food processor until it forms a thick paste. Add mushrooms to the pan with nutritional yeast and chickpea flour, season with salt and pepper, leave to simmer for around 10 mins. Add in the fresh sage, stir through and remove from the heat, allowing it to cool. In the meantime, add the potatoes to a pan of boiling, salted water and cook until soft, around 20 mins. Make the gravy by cooking the onions in a little olive oil on a medium heat. Once softened, add in the garlic, onion flakes, tamari and pepper. Cook for a few mins before adding in the veg stock. Leave to simmer. Form sausage shapes with the mushroom mix and place on a lined baking tray in the oven on 180 degrees for around 20 mins, flipping over halfway through. Finish the mash by draining of the potatoes, mashing them up and season with salt and pepper. Stir through the mustard and add a splash of hot water to make it creamy. Serve the sausages on a bed of mash and finish with the gravy.

DESSERT - Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries:
12 strawberries
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted: http://amzn.to/1RsV5jT
2 tbsp cacao powder
2 tbsp maple syrup (you could definitely use 3-4 tbsps!)
Chopped nuts
Place the coconut oil in a bowl, stir in the cacao and sweeten to taste. Coat half of each strawberry and lay on a plate, sprinkle with chopped nuts. Place in freezer for 10 mins to fully set, enjoy cold!
