One of my dad’s specialties is a dish more affectionately known as Daddy’s Veggie Mix. Daddy’s Veggie Mix is a stew of assorted vegetarian “meats” including Morningstar Grillers and Loma Linda Big Franks. Any time we’re having coconut bake or fry bake, dad whips up a pot of this delicious vegetarian entrée. You can enjoy it with bake for breakfast or with dumpling and provision for lunch. I made oil down (cassava cooked in coconut milk) for the first time this past Saturday and enjoyed it with Daddy’s Veggie Mix. Yum!
Are you vegetarian but crave a “meaty” entrée with some “bite?” Then this dish is for you! Click here for the video tutorial.
Ingredients
- canola oil
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- ½ onion, chopped
- ½ cup bell pepper, chopped
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 can of Loma Linda Big Franks (8 vegetarian hot dogs)

- 1 ½ cup hot water
Instructions
- Chop Big Franks and Grillers into large chunks and set aside.
- Heat pot over medium heat. Coat bottom of pot with oil and add garlic cloves. Allow to burn, and then remove from the pot.
- If pot is smoking, allow it to cool before adding onions and bell pepper. Add onion and bell pepper, and sauté.
- Add cilantro and sauté briefly.
- Add chopped big franks and grillers. Next, add the ketchup and combine. Add up to 1 ½ cup water to make a sauce with a medium consistency. Add a little salt to taste and simmer for 15 minutes.
Notes
Feel free to substitute mini sweet peppers for the bell peppers. It's just as delicious!
