I’m sharing two spooky recipes for Halloween this year. First up is a garlicky black houmous made with black chickpeas and a black tahini. This houmous has more of a nutty flavour to it, coming from both the black chickpeas and black tahini. It’s perfect with crackers, eaten as a dip, served with salads or… Continue reading Black Chickpea Houmous & Black Tahini Cookies
Puff Pastry Pesto Tartlets
Golden puff pastry topped with hazelnut, oregano and spinach pesto, cherry tomatoes,dairy free cheese and black olives. These are delicious hot or cold, and would make for a lovely lunch or quick snack. I chose to make the pesto, so I’ll include the recipe for that, but you can always swap it for shop bought… Continue reading Puff Pastry Pesto Tartlets
Vegan Beef & Broccoli Fried Rice
A quick and easy fried rice dish, with mock beef, crisp tender broccoli and fluffy rice in a savoury sauce. This can be eaten as a main or a side, and would be great for a vegan fakeaway. For the mock beef, I used my Beef Style Seitan recipe, which worked really well. However, you can… Continue reading Vegan Beef & Broccoli Fried Rice
Air Fryer Pitta Pizzas
Crispy pitta pizza bases topped with sauce, melted vegan cheese and toppings of your choice. Making individual pizzas means that everyone can customise theirs to suit them. They make for a tasty light lunch or snack. You can stick with tomato sauce, or use barbecue sauce or pesto. Or skip the sauce and cheese altogether… Continue reading Air Fryer Pitta Pizzas
Roasted Leek & Lardon Linguine
Linguine stirred through sweet roasted leeks and smokey meat free bacon lardons in a rich dairy free sauce. This recipe is easy to make and comes together in just 30 minutes. I realise that mock meats aren’t for everyone, so if you’re not a fan, try replacing them with the same amount of diced smoked… Continue reading Roasted Leek & Lardon Linguine
Butter Bean Salad
A delicious mix of cucumber, tomato, spring onion, salad leaves, black olives, dairy free cheese and butter beans, in a light herby dressing. This combines a variety of flavours, textures and colours, which I always find the most appealing when it comes to salads. I find that these dried and cooked butter beans have a… Continue reading Butter Bean Salad
Vegan Nacho Cheese Dip
A deliciously cheesy, spicy, nacho cheese dip that you can eat with tortilla chips or pour on top of nachos. Before I went vegan I used to quite like the nacho cheese dip by Doritos, but as it contains milk and egg it’s not suitable for vegans. So I wanted to make my own vegan… Continue reading Vegan Nacho Cheese Dip
Blackberry & Vanilla Milkshake
A fruity, creamy, ice cold milkshake that’s a good source of protein, and a tasty way to cool off in the heat. Freezing the blackberries chills this milkshake down without needing to add any ice. It also means that you don’t need a high speed blender to make it. I’ve been enjoying picking blackberries lately,… Continue reading Blackberry & Vanilla Milkshake
Roasted Vegetable & Chickpea Bulgur Wheat Salad
This combines roasted leeks, cherry tomatoes & red pepper, along with chickpeas, spring onion, bulgur wheat and mixed salad leaves. The roasted vegetables add a lovely natural sweetness to this salad. It would be great as a side dish, either warm or chilled, and would go well with all sorts of things. It would also… Continue reading Roasted Vegetable & Chickpea Bulgur Wheat Salad
Jalapeño & Lime Houmous
A deliciously creamy houmous, with a spicy warmth from pickled jalapeños, and a little citrus sweetness from the lime. This copycat recipe of shop bought jalapeño houmous is easy to make and much cheaper too, especially if you use dried chickpeas. Lately, I’ve been soaking my chickpeas with bicarbonate of soda, which really cuts down… Continue reading Jalapeño & Lime Houmous
