These super simple vegetarian pies are made in muffin tins. – no fancy pie moulds needed! They’re s gloriously yummy time filled with vegetables and a luscious sauce.
Middle Eastern Vegetarian Nachos
These are inspired by a special I had at Yafo in Berlin. It was deep fried pieces of pita, topped with pulled lamb, feta and pickled things. It was incredible. This is a lighter vegetarian take that’s really easy to make.
Pumpkin, Parmesan and Thyme Soup
I have a very similar soup to this using parsnip on the blog but I’ve actually made it many more times using pumpkin so thought I should really share this recipe too! The roasting garlic and pumpkin fill your house with the most delicious winters smells.
Chipotle and Parmesan Carrot Tacos
I spent many years thinking that tacos were the kind of food I only craved in summer…. this year is proving me wrong especially in the vegetarian tacos game. By roasting winter vegetables you can make a yummy and totally winter appropriate taco. Serve these to a large group as a starter or just between two of you as a yummy meal.
Indian Spiced Fried Cauliflower Lettuce Cups with Tamarind Sauce
This cauliflower is fried, therefor it’s not exactly a health food but it’s a delicious way to get anyone eating more vegetables and a great vegetarian starter. Serve it in lettuce cups with a drizzle of tamarind sauce over top and you will be oh so pleased with yourself.
Baked Sweet Potato Chips with Roasted Garlic Guacamole
I always think of guacamole as a summery thing but it’s Hass avocado season right now and they are sooo good! The addition of warm sweet potato chips to dip in and roasted garlic to add depth of flavour make it a winner for any time of the year.
Pumpkin and Goats Cheese Tacos
I made these tacos as part of a Sunday lunch for some wonderful women. We followed them with the eggplant curry from earlier in the week and then brown butter tahini chocolate chip cookie cups (from I will not eat Oysters my favourite blog for cookie recipes!) topped with vanilla ice cream. It was a feast and exactly what Sunday lunch with your friends should be.
Chilli Cashew Dip
This is such a yummy and versatile dip and a great alternative to dairy options. Cashews blend so well once they’ve been soaked in water and make creamy luxurious dips, sauces and treats. This is a plant food version of a chilli cream cheese dip and it’s delicious.
Zucchini, Herb and Feta Fritters
I’ve made these fritters for numerous parties and they’re always a hit. In this recipe I pan fry them in olive oil but I’ve also deep fried them in a wok before when I was being a bit more indulgent (it was New Years, it was a party, it had to be done). Both ways of cooking them produce crispy fritters studded with melty feta and full of flavour.
Party Food That Will Keep Your Guests Grinning
This week I wanted to share my favourite party food ideas with you because it’s New Years Eve tomorrow and you should be celebrating! I’ve been super quiet on the blog for the last week and even on social media as I wanted to have some family time and just disconnect. And it’s been lovely.
