Gather and Prepare:
In a sauce pan, add

1. 2 cups of water – in saucepan, bring to a boil
2. Then add all seasonings to boiling water: 1 no salt veggie stock cube (Superstore Organic Section)
3. 1 tbsp diced white onion
4. ½ tsp paprika
5. ½ tsp turmeric and 2 cloves of peeled and minced garlic  
6. Then add 2 cups of chopped cauliflower (cut into small florets)  

Turn down heat to low and cook cauliflower for 25-30 mins until fork tender/falling apart.

Build Your Benny:
10. 1 slice of whole grain bread – toasted
11. Layer with baby spinach leaves (remove stems if desired)
12. Layer with sliced tomatoes (Roma’s work well)
13. Layer with sauteed mushrooms*
14. Cover with dollops of whole plant-based hollandaise sauce
15. If desired, add thin slices of avocado or sprinkle with paprika (optional)  

To complete the meal, serve with oven-baked, without oil, chunky Yukon gold potatoes (cook and prepare first, so meal comes together in a coordinated fashion).
 
*sliced white mushrooms (~16 oz cooked dry in hot non-stick frying pan, stirring often – will get very moist – and cook until water disappears) If you dislike mushrooms, use your choice of other veggies-like steamed asparagus.
