The next ingredient in my 7 Ways With series is carrot because it’s the perfect season to be eating loads of these. They’re affordable and delicious.
SPICED CARROT AND LENTIL SOUP
Soup! Because it’s been more than a week since my last soup post and therefore you might be ready for a new one to add to the rotation. This one is fragrant with spice and very filling thanks to the addition of lentils. It’s also stupid easy to make.
MIDDLE EASTERN SPICED CARROT AND PARSNIP SALAD
The perfect winter salad. It’s super filling and full of ingredients that should be relatively cheap to get your hands on right now, which is always a plus. Oh and it tastes delicious! Why would you eat it otherwise?
CARROT CAKE WAFFLES WITH CINNAMON MAPLE YOGHURT
These waffles scream Easter brunch, which was my vibe when the idea popped into my head. You know how you get some ideas and you’re like ‘Yes – that will be amazing!’. Then you give it a shot and it’s an unmitigated disaster? These were the exact opposite to that. They turned out exactly as I wanted them to. Like the contents of my imagination had magically fallen onto a plate and then into my mouth. Well I helped it into my mouth but the rest, the rest was magic.
VEGGIE BURGER
If you’re after a fun, quick and easy meat free monday idea then this recipe has you covered. I’ve been playing around with veggie patties for a while now and I’m finally really happy with one. This patty has a good ratio of vegetables and legume, and a flavour that doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the burger components, just gets a nice little harmony going on with them. And that’s exactly what I wanted from this burger.
