Most days either my lunch or dinner is some sort of bowl food. Because things eaten from a bowl with just one utensil are somehow simpler and better… well maybe not better (I feel this is unfair to all the other delicious non-bowl food out there) but really good!
SWEET POTATO AND KALE WILD RICE NOURISH BOWL
This is an easy and tasty bowl to make that only uses simple processes. It can be ready in half an hour if you multi task or relax and take it slowly and you’ll still be eating in 40 minutes.
9 SALADS YOU CAN MAKE FRIENDS WITH
Despite me posting a curry recipe yesterday and complaining about the lack of Spring weather… it’s getting sunny this weekend and that means it’s time to get pumped about salads.
COCONUT AND GINGER EGGPLANT CURRY
This is a filling and fragrant curry filled with the flavours of coconut and ginger. The turmeric gives great colour and the lentils add some extra protein to this vegetarian curry.
ZUCCHINI AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH HERB ‘MAYO’ AND CHICKPEA CROUTONS
This salad is so morish and fresh. Full of flavour and textures it’s basically everything a salad should be. The creamy yoghurt based dressing and the crunchy spiced chickpea croutons are winners you’ll be using in all your salad bowls.
CRISPY ROASTED ZUCCHINI
These guys are my new favourite salad bowl obsession. Or nourish bowl. Or buddah bowl. Or food. Whatever you want to call it. Super easy to make with good texture and flavour. What more do you want? You can also eat them as a side when you’re dining family style, instead of roast potatoes or something. Or in my case, as well as (don’t take my potatoes away).
CAULIFLOWER FRIED ‘RICE’ WITH GARLICKY GREENS
Cauliflower has got to be the most amazingly versatile vegetable ever. Well one of them, I hate to play favourites. It makes an amazing bechamel, ridiculously creamy soup, a fried chicken substitute, and a great addition to salads. And this time it makes rice.
PUMPKIN, ASPARAGUS AND KALE QUICHE WITH FETA AND SPELT PASTRY
Sunny days mean outdoor lunches and picnics and QUICHE!!! Or if you’re me you’ll end up eating the quiche for breakfast because it’s eggs and egg is a breakfast food.
CRISPY COCONUT AND SESAME CAULIFLOWER
These are so good! Golden, crispy, crunchy goodness. They’re kind of begging for an ice cold beer, or some other tasty beverage to go along with them but you can also get all virtuous and have them on top of a nourish bowl situation. I like to think of them as one of two things: sustainable coconut prawns or sustainable sesame fried chicken. Sustainable because they’re not either of those two things. Hilarious (don’t hate me).
VEGETARIAN LASAGNE WITH EGGPLANT RAGU AND CAULIFLOWER SAUCE
This lasagne is packed full of vegetables, I’ve literally stuffed in as many as I could. The ragu is made of vegetables, most of the pasta layers are actually vegetables. The bechamel sauce is actually vegetables. All the vegetables. You can feel really high and mighty about this one.
