A tasty, high-protein vegan salad recipe
Ingredients
2- 3 sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup quinoa
3 cups water
1 tin black beans
a handful of fresh coriander
For the dressing:
juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
A tasty dish that’s very easy to make.
I used Mediterranean inspired cauliflower rice I got in Aldi for this. It is very tasty and smells great. You could also use plain or another flavour cauliflower rice. Some supermarkets sell a pomegranate cauliflower rice which I think would also be good for this.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil (or alternative cooking oil)
2 peppers (any colour)
1 bag cauliflower rice
some cheese (optional)
I made this quinoa vegetable pilau this week. It is similar to the vegetable pilau I made before. I just replaced rice with quinoa. It tastes really good. A great one pot dish!
I made this simple bean mixture yesterday with onion, garlic, a tin of chopped tomatoes, a tin of mixed beans and some fresh basil. I put the mixture in a tortilla wrap with some cheese and baked in oven for 10 minutes for dinner. I had it with some steamed broccoli. It was delicious!
I had half the mixture leftover so I heated it up for lunch today and had it on toast. Really nice as well!
I think the bean mixture would also taste good with baked potato…
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil (or alternative cooking oil)
1 onion chopped
1-2 cloves garlic chopped
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin mixed beans (rinsed and drained)
a handful of fresh basil (if you don’t have fresh basil you could use a teaspoon of dried basil/ mixed herbs instead)
cheese (optional)
tortilla wrap/ bread/ baked potato
Bean wrap
Homemade beans on toast

2 sticks celery chopped

Hello everybody! I just wanted to share what I will be having for Christmas dinner this year in case anyone wants to know/ is looking for inspiration. 🙂
I will have a nut roast I got in the Quay Coop (the local health food shop) . It was easier to buy it than make my own. It saves time. The brand of nut roast is called Thank Goodness. I had one of their nut roasts last year as well and it tasted good.
With the nut roast I will cook a few veggie dishes:
Whole roasted cauliflower with harissa spice and yogurt
Roasted baby potatoes
Steamed broccoli
All these dishes are simple to make and very tasty. Christmas dinner doesn’t have to be complicated.
Happy Christmas everybody!
