  3. Heat up the margarine in a pan and add the onions, leek, Brussels sprouts and carrots. Sprinkle thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the lemon juice and add about 1 cup of water. Braise the vegetables on medium/high heat for 10 - 12 minutes covered with a lid. Turn them over occasionally.

  4. Roughly chop the hazelnuts and roast them in a baking pan until they are golden brown.

Gravy

  2. Pour the agave syrup and turmeric in the liquid and let it cook until it's a nice gravy texture.
  3. Done! Pour the gravy on top of the filled bowls and sprinkle the hazelnuts on top
