Big McVeggieMac......

Hello my vegan friends....and anyone out there just a little curious!
I've been so busy these past months I have neglected my blog...sorry....I'm happy to say I'm busy in  a good way.
I now cook for several people, I've been doing some cooking classes, and I've been spreading the vegan word around.
I have to admit, I use to LOVE, dare I say it...Big Mac's....(probably why I had triple by-pass surgery!).
I keep trying different veggie burgers, but I have to admit, they really don't come close to the real thing.
I finally found one that's not too bad...Gardein has come out with a beefless burger, look for it in the frozen section of your local health food store...you can also check their website for a local store near you. Their website is www.gardein.com.
I keep seeing Big Mac ads on  tv, so I thought why not make a vegan "Big Mac"?
So here is what I came up with.....
You'll need:
Gardein Beefless Patties (or any vegan burger)
small onion, minced
finely chopped lettuce
couple of pickles
vegan cheeze
"special sauce" (recipe follows)
whole wheat hamburger bun
Place Gardein "patty" in a grill skillet, cook about 4-5 minutes each
side. (you don't have to thaw out)
After both sides are grilled, add slice of cheeze, cover until cheeze is melted.
Slather some of the "special sauce" on bottom of bun, place "burger" on top, then start layering, pickles, lettuce, onions, more sauce....cover and ENJOY!
Special Sauce
1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chili sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon relish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

               Mix together....ENJOY! (this makes a great salad dressing too!)
