VEGAN 'Green's' ultimate vegan fry up

We went for a bottomless brunch last year and Lucas had a vegan fry up. It looked so good I had to try my own version of it. We have vegan sausages, hash browns, beans, scrambled tofu, garlic mushrooms and asparagus and toast. Served with an oat milk cappuccino and a fresh pineapple juice – weekend brunching bliss! The best part about this breakfast is that you can leave all of it to keep warm whilst you make the rest. Serious brunchin... no G. Lucas, this one's for you.

If you are going to cook the full works, I would recommend following this order:

1. Pop your sausages in the oven

2. Hash browns

3. Beans

4. Mushrooms and asparagus

5. Scrambled tofu

6. Pop your toast in

4. Pop the grated potato into a large bowl and add your chopped spring onion, garlic salt, onion salt, flour and seasoning.

5. Mix it all together with a spoon and then form into patties. Squash them down so they are flat.

6. Add your oil to a frying pan over a medium/high heat.

7. Fry your hash-browns for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
