Vegan Nuggets of Goodness

May 31, 2019 Leave a Comment

Simply made from chick peas, petits pois, spring onions/scallions and crumbed protein bread (or your choice of breadcrumbs) – these delicious nuggets make a great vegan ‘fakeaway’ instead of the usual chicken or meat nugget options. I find that they make a great balanced light meal with a tomato, sweetcorn, red onion and herb salad, but others might like to also serve with some spicy potato wedges to make it more substantial. I like to rub mine with ready-made harissa paste before baking in the usual way.

If you wish to boost the protein then consider adding a scoop of unflavoured protein to the nugget mixture or serve the finished baked ones with a generous dollop of herby thick Greek or plain/natural protein yogurt.
