Frequently asked questions

How long does Golden Protein Vegetable Hash take?

About 50 minutes: 15 minutes of prep and 35 minutes of cooking, from softening the vegetables to simmering the oats until they bind the hash.

Is Golden Protein Vegetable Hash vegetarian?

Yes, it is vegetarian. Diced carrots, mooli and chayote are cooked with soy protein mince, masala oats and Moroccan spice.

What can I use instead of palm oil for the hash?

Swap it for sunflower, vegetable or rapeseed oil. Any neutral oil works for softening the vegetables and browning the soy mince.

How do I get the vegetable hash to hold together?

Simmer it on low heat after adding the oat mixture so the oats thicken and bind everything. Stir gently rather than constantly to keep some texture.

What goes well with a protein vegetable hash?

Thin cucumber slices add a fresh crunch on top, and a spoonful of yoghurt, some toast or a fried egg makes it a fuller breakfast.
