Soya Mince Sauce with Bell Peppers

I had a little bit of this, and a little bit of that in the fridge, and since I was feeling too lazy to make anything elaborate, I put together this creamy mince sauce which we had with toast for lunch. It was only after having the meal, that I realised that it covered all the essential food groups.




1/2 cup soya granules
1 bell pepper (preferably 1/2 yellow and 1/2 red)
5-6 basil leaves
1 tsp dried oregano
4-6 cloves garlic
1 cup milk
1 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp grated cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp butter

Method:
Boil 1 cup water, add the soya granules and drain after 10 minutes
Meanwhile, heat the butter, add chopped garlic and saute till it
starts browning. Add the bell peppers, and saute for about a minute.
Add milk, and bring to boil. Make a paste of the cornflour with the
milk, and add to the boiling milk with continuous stirring to ensure
no lumps are formed.
Add the cheese, salt and pepper, torn basil leaves and the cooked soya
nuggest. Stir well, and take off the flame after about 30 seconds.
While I served with hot toast, it can also be added to pasta.
