Dijon Brussel Sprouts Bowl

This looks like exactly the kind of meal we avoid, which is to say “bowls.” Have you noticed how almost all vegan recipes these days seem to be “bowls?” It is wild, and we are wildly unimpressed by bowl recipes. This one gets a pass because it is actually, surprisingly delicious. Brussel sprouts, vegan sausage, and best of all mashed potatoes.

The flavors in this go together just so damn well, but the magic is in that homemade dijon dressing. It really does the trick. Great meal, easy to prepare, and the leftovers hold up extremely well. Pro tip, you will need more dijon dressing, we made a batch for dinner and another for the leftovers. By the way I also ate some of the leftovers for breakfast and it was a good decision.

Notes We use Earth Balance for butter We use Silk Protein for milk We use Just Mayo for mayonnaise We use Torfuky Italian Sausage (if you’re avoiding processed foods you could use chickpeas instead, only because the critical point of this recipe is the dressing and not the filling. However we recommend using vegan sausage because the flavor is a major part of the whole)

Even the cats are all about this dinner.
