Salad with spicy soymedaillons

Finaly summertime has come. Perfect to start with a fresh, healthy lunch. 

Lately I'm really up to clean my cupboards from all the stored stuff, well once it had to be eaten. Mostly I've just waited for the right time - moment for guests - to serve the stuff. Yesterday, on no special occasion - was the time to open up the dried soymedaillons. 
I found a new and simple marinade I wanted to try. Delicious!!!!! AND so simple...

I made a bunch of medallions, some for the next day and some had to be eaten right away. 

The marinade can be used for any kind of "meat". The sauce is also well for just dipping it, for example tofu-nuggets. Just try out.

Salad with spicy Soymedaillons

2-3 Persons
45 min

Ingredients:
100 g field salad
1 bunch arugula 
1 red pepper 
2 small spring onions 
6 brown mushrooms 
10 cherry tomatoes 

Vinaigrette dressing:
2 Tbsp. balsamico vinegar
3 Tbsp. good oil
1 tsp. herb mustard
1/2 onion, chopped
Salt and pepper 

herbs
some splash of soymilk

10 Soymedaillons
vegetable broth
2 Tbsp. oil

Marinade:
4 Tbsp. Ketchup
1/4 - 1 tsp. chili or cayennepepper (depending how spicy you want them)
1 Tbsp. paprika powder
1/2 salt
1/4 pepper
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. worcestershiresauce

Preparation:
Give the medaillons into a bowl and cover with enough vegetable broth and let them sit and soak for at least 30 min. 
When time is over, drain into a swiefe and squizze out the left liquid. Depending about the size, cut into half. 

In the empty same bowl mix together the Marinade, taste and give in the drained soymedaillons. Stir well under, till all medaillons are well covered. Add the oil and shortly stir.

Preheat a frying pan with enough oil and shortly roast the medaillons on high heat then lower the heat - otherwise they will burn and turn black and let gently cook. After about 5- 8 min, the medaillons are good and the heat can turned off. 

Stir together the dressing and dizzle over the salad and top with the soymedaillon. 
Meanwhile wash the salads, chop the vegetable, and spring onion. Stir together the dressing and dizzle over the salad and top with the soymedaillon. 

NOTE:
For those who like can serve some ketchup or better the marinadesauce (made fresh again) for dipping in the soymedaillon. I just ate it like that with a piece of baquette. 

A perfect lunch or light early summer side dish.
