         Title: Breakfast Muckmuffin   
    Categories: Breakfast, Sandwiches, Vegetarian   
         Yield: 4 Servings   
       
         2 lg Onions   
         2 lg Carrots   
        10    Meaty mushrooms;   
              - chestnuts, shiitakes, or   
              - baby portobellos   
         4 cl Garlic   
         1 tb Light cooking oil; plus   
              - extra for frying &   
              - greasing   
       1/2 ts Grated nutmeg   
       1/2 ts Ground allspice   
              Salt; a few pinches   
              Black pepper;   
              - a generous grind   
       220 ml Chicken-style or   
              - vegetable stock   
        75 g  Dried red lentils   
        75 g  Dried brown lentils   
        75 g  Porridge oats   
         2 tb Stuffing mix; up to 4 tb   
         1 tb Sage leaves; chopped   
         1 tb Nutritional yeast   
              - (optional)   
              Plain flour; for dusting   
      
   MMMMM--------------------------TO SERVE-------------------------------   
         4    White muffins;   
              - sliced in half   
         8 sl Cheese   
              Tomato ketchup   
       
     Finely grate or very finely dice the onions, and wash and finely   
     grate the carrots into a large mixing bowl. Grate the mushrooms, and   
     peel and finely chop the garlic. If you have a small bullet blender   
     or food processor, you can speed up this part simply by roughly   
     choping the onion and garlic and halving the carrots, slinging them   
     all in with the mushrooms and blitzing everything to smithereens.   
        
     Add all the vegetables to a large non-stick frying or saute pan, and   
     measure in the oil, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and pepper. Cook on the   
     smallest hob ring on a very low heat for 15 minutes, until the onion   
     starts to soften but not brown at all, and stir intermittently to   
     disturb it and prevent it sticking and burning.   
        
     Pour over the stock. Thoroughly rinse the lentils in a sieve or   
     colander, under a cold tap, and add to the pan. Bring to the boil,   
     then reduce to a simmer, and cook for 40 minutes until the lentils   
     are very soft and swollen. Add the porridge oats, stuffing mix, sage   
     and nutritional yeast, if using, and cook for 10 minutes more,   
     stirring to combine. The oats and lentils will absorb the liquid so   
     you may need to add a splash more, but too much will make the patty   
     mixture too sloppy, so try not to go overboard.   
        
     When the porridge oats and stuffing mix are cooked and the mixture is   
     thick, remove from the heat and tip into a mixing bowl. Allow to cool   
     and then transfer to the fridge to firm up for an hour, or overnight.   
        
     When the mixture is cool and firm, remove it from the fridge. Heat a   
     little oil in a non-stick frying or saute pan. Break off a piece   
     with lightly floured hands, the size of an average egg. Roll it in   
     your hands to form a ball, adding a little more flour if it sticks to   
     your palms. You want a patty the width of your muffin, and quite   
     thin--this helps it to crisp up and cook through on both sides, and   
     stops the dreaded "soft middle" that vegetarian and vegan patties can   
     fall victim to. You will be putting two patties in each muffin for   
     the "double muckmuffin" experience, so don't worry if they look a   
     little flimsy at this stage.   
        
     If cooking for a crowd, preheat your oven to 160?C (fan   
     140oC/325?F/gas 3) and place a lightly greased baking tray on the   
     middle shelf, and one on the shelf above. Fry each patty on a   
     medium-high heat for 6 minutes on one side, and 4 minutes on the   
     other. Remove and transfer to the oven, and repeat until all the   
     mixture is used up.   
        
     Place your muffins on the top shelf of the oven for a few minutes to   
     toast. Remove and assemble: bottom half of the muffin on the plate,   
     patty, cheese, patty, cheese, ketchup, top half. Enjoy!
