SAVORY Sauces, Seasoning, Toppings

Vegan Eggy Yolk
Cashew Gravy
Italian Pepper Blend
Pico de Gallo
Vegan Eggy Yolk
1 Vegan Eggy Yolk = 
  • 1/4 t. Kala Namak Salt
  • 1/4 t. Turmeric
  • 1/2 t. Cornstarch or 1/8 t. Agar Powder
  • 2 t. Nutritional Yeast
  • 3 T. Cold Water
This will be enough "yolk" for 1 bar of extra firm silken tofu sliced into approximately 16 to 18 pieces. To make sunny side up vegan eggs, fry each slice of tofu in extra virgin olive oil till both sides are done. Then, cover with egg yolk. In a large skillet, you can fry about 8 slices of tofu and cover with 1/2 of the eggy yolk recipe.
Adapted from Mouth Watering Vegan.
To achieve an over well yolk (firm), follow this method:
  • 1/8 t. Kala Namak Salt
  • 1/2 t. Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 T. chickpea flour
  • 1 T. water
Cashew Gravy
Blend until smooth, then cook over low-medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • 1/4 c. Cashew Nuts, raw and unsalted
  • 1 1/2 t. Cornstarch
  • 1 Beef-Style Bouillon (Edward & Sons)
  • 2 c. Cold Water
  • 1/4 c. Mushroom Pieces (optional)
Italian Pepper Blend
Saute equal portions of sliced onion, green pepper, and red pepper in extra virgin olive oil.
Add 1 T. applesauce and 1/2 t. minced garlic for every cup of fresh sliced onions and peppers.
Season with Italian seasoning and sea salt.

Serve over vegan Italian sausage (Tofurky brand preferred) in a low-calorie hot dog bun. Add mayo and mustard.
Pico de Gallo
I made this pico de gallo based off the Wegman's version, as theirs is quite frankly the BEST. I came pretty close, I might say. Make it ahead of time so juices have a chance to blend well.
  • 5 roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 medium sweet onion, finely diced
  • 2 slices of jalapeno, finely diced (NOT 2 jalapenos)
  • 1/4 t. TrueLime Cilantro, Lime, Garlic seasoning
  • pinch of Kosher salt

​We serve this over haystacks.
