Vegan Welsh Rarebit

Well, sorta. Vegan creamed peas on toast. Dad made creamed peas last night for dinner, and one of my favorite breakfasts is creamed peas on toast. Essentially, it's a vegan roux with frozen peas mixed in. The following recipe is the basic ratios, but doesn't give you a whole lot of sauce. We definitely multiply the recipe many times for our family. Dad always makes this in the microwave, and it is super super easy. If you don't want to microwave, it can easily be done on the stove top.

Vegan Roux

1 tbsp vegan margarine

1 tbsp flour

1/4 cup liquid (we used a mixture of soy milk and veggie broth)

Melt the butter in a microwave safe container, large enough to hold your finished sauce. Whisk in flour and zap 30-40 seconds. Stir in liquids and zap 2-3 minutes. Stir and zap 1 minute. Repeat until your sauce has its desired thickness. You cannot combine the zapping or the sauce will boil over and make a giant mess. You can now spice your sauce as you see fit. Garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, paprika, whatever you'd like, really. Mix in warmed frozen peas and you're done!

This is a dish we have with basically every holiday meal, and like I said it makes a great breakfast. This morning I had it on Silver Hills Squirrelly sprouted grain bread.
