20140430-203431.jpg

What you’ll need:

1 batch of vegan gravy (see earlier post)

5-6 red potatoes washed and quartered

1 C unsweetened flax milk (soy milk or rice milk would work also)

1 sprig of fresh rosemary

2 Tbsp vegan butter

Fresh ground pepper to taste

2 cloves of garlic chopped finely (optional, I don’t think it’s necessary if making the vegan gravy)

Sea salt to taste

Green onions chopped finely (white/light green parts only)

Bread of choice cut into medium slices ( I used kalamata olive bread)

Red pepper flakes (garnish)

What you’ll do:

Place quartered potatoes in boiling water and boil until soft

Drain all excess water

Add soy milk and mash

Add butter and mash again

Add rosemary, salt and pepper

Stir in green onions

Assemble sandwich by placing bread on a plate, add potatoes then top with gravy

Garnish with parsley and red pepper flake

I also baked the corn in the husk for 45 minutes directly on the oven rack at 350

Enjoy!!
