These lettuce cups willed with a quick homemade cashew cheese are the most delightful snack, starter or canape. You can leave the parmesan off and add nutritional yeast to make them vegan but as a vegetarian option with a snowy covering of parmesan at the end they’re incredible. Add to your Chistmas menu immediately.
Say that title ten times fast. But it’s a super accurate description for these little handfuls of joy and I’m all about an accurate description. The moreish little chicken meatballs get covered in a sticky sauce and then stuffed into little bread rolls filled with fresh and pickled vegetables. The only kind of meatball sub I’m going to crave.
Golden cauliflower roasted until it’s crispy and nutty tops just melted bocconcini and is then drizzled with a balsamic glaze for a sweet and sharp finish. A handful of parsley and parmesan salad to finish and you’ve got a yummy vegetarian flatbread.
I know, another hummus recipe, I’m so basic. This is a vegetarian take on the chicken salad one I posted last week and don’t complain because hummus is life and you can never have too much!
I made this for the first time months ago and have been meaning to retest the recipe forever, and when I found these tri coloured baby carrots and my local market I knew it was time. That said you can easily use whatever carrots you can get your hands on. These babies just look oh so pretty.
There’s a lot of things about these nachos that make them a healthier choice than the regular variety. Baked wholemeal tortilla chips (or corn if gf) rather than fried chips, the added green veggies and wholesome chicken thigh topping. There’s also a cheese sauce that’s the ish part because it makes the cheese go a long way and adds that gooey stretchiness you want in nachos, with about 1/2 the actual cheese. But still some cheese because, oh god, cheese will be the last animal product I give up if I ever actually go vegan.
This recipe was handed to me by my housemate Bec, she’s a super talented cook (both my housemates are – lucky me!) and once I tried these I knew I had to try and remake them so I could share them with you all. They’re heaven.
This is fusion food, which I know, is not always a great idea. But crispy stir fried cauliflower flavoured with turmeric and garam masala in little roti bread or flour tortilla wraps… what’s not to like?!
Dumplings. I’m obsessed. There are numerous recipes on this blog for dumplings as I make them about once a month and love to try new fillings. This tofu one is a real winner, they’re flavoursome and have great texture. This is not the shortest recipe on the blog but it’s not hard to do and if you have an extra pair of hands helping you then it’s pretty quick!
This flatbread is vegan, gluten free and stupidly easy to make. It’s what I make when I have next to nothing in the cupboards and want a vehicle for toast toppings. without toast. The extra virgin olive oil and chickpea flour works so well together and the finely chopped spring onions add a burst of flavour. Easy, delicious any time of the day food is what I’m about.
