Couldn't be easier.
I think that's the misconception surrounding vegan and vegetarian dishes, one assumes they are complicated and take a long time.
The process you describe there probably takes 20-30 minutes from start to finish.
Silly question perhaps but what is nutritional yeast?
vegan fairy dust is what i call it ahahah

its a deactivated yeast, it has a cheesey flavour to it, so i use it alot to make like mac n cheese, or tofu cheese dishes, its quite good dont get it mixed up with brewers yeast though , lol

some dishes can be complicated and complex, but i think any cooking can be

Anything with a cheesy flavour is good imo.
I'm still trying to figure out how to use bakers yeast, baking is my achilles heel even though my quick bread comes out ok but my attempts a banana bread and sponges have not been too good.

Until Sunni posting delicious looking food, I thought it was flavorless rabbit food. I'd happily eat what she makes. Opened my eyes, no doubt.

Tonight I made... Samosa/borek type things... Stuffed Phyllo pastry goodness I'll call it. lol

Smoked salmon, cream cheese, dill, salt pepper, touch of lemon juice, for the stuffing.
Green beans from last years garden, quick sauteed in butter, salt, pepper, then finished with a touch of lemon juice.
The mayo is a coriander seed, dill, with diced green olives (I didn't have any capers). lol

Grilled jumbo tiger prawns last night . Shell left on for the flavour , and love picking on the head fat .
I butterflied them , then marinated them in a Thai herb marinade for 1hr.
Then straight on the grill on top of red gum coals .
Oh man they were so good .

Clint, those big prawns look great, and that grilled flavor!!! Damn!

I can buy them here for $15.usd a pound.
A bit pricy.

Small ones are cheaper and I boil them in beer, mustard and celery seed.
Gotta post that up someday.

thanks guys. it was really a what's in the pantry job lol. few sweet potato's, red n white onions a couple jars of tinned tomato's, few sultana's a load of spice. bit of chilli for a kicker.

the real interesting one was the roasted broccoli. i did it in some sesame oil and a few bits n bobs of garlic and onion granules and it had the most amazing nutty flavour.

you guys are making drool all this talk of cray fish jumbo prawns. next your gonna whip out some main tails and i'm going to cream.
