I’m having a love affair with pasta at the moment. Pasta with rich comforting sauces. Sauces full of things that are good for you. Like this one, it’s got tonnes of flavour, is full of vegetables and the sauce can be used in lots of different ways.
BLACK RICE, COCONUT AND AVOCADO SALAD
This salad is so tasty. Filling enough to eat on it’s own and it looks so pretty, look at those flecks of red, the creamy green avocado and golden toasted coconut. All the yum.
ROOT VEGETABLE FRITTERS WITH AVOCADO AND PICKLED RADISH SALSA
These fritters are super adaptable and simple to make. They’re quick and easy and the perfect thing to take for lunch at work or have a pile of in the fridge to reheat for breakfast.
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.
CELERIAC AND MIXED GRAIN SALAD WITH BEETROOT SAUCE
Look at those colours! Roasted celeriac, farro, quinoa and bulgur are combined with toasted seeds and nuts, grapefruit pickled carrots and a bright pink beetroot yoghurt sauce to make a killer winter salad.
DAHL MAKHANI (NO CREAM!)
Dahl makhani is usually a tomato based curry that is heavy on the butter and cream. I love it but that amount of butter and cream can leave e feeling a little ick. It could also be all the onion. So I came up with this onion free, lighter version that’s still creamy in texture and full of fragrant flavour.
BREAKFAST TACOS WITH NECTARINE AND AVOCADO SALSA
This is a surprisingly easy breakfast or lunch as scrambled eggs take no time at all to prep. It’s also fresh and tasty and has protein, omega 3’s, vegetables and fruit in it – a super well rounded meal!
EASY LENTIL SALAD
An easy and tasty salad you can whip up in ten minutes if you have cooked lentils on hand. 30 minutes if you need to cook them first. It’s so good for lunches or as a lazy and nutritious dinner.
PITA CHIP VEGETARIAN ‘NACHOS’
Confession: these aren’t really nachos. They aren’t made using corn chips because when they craving took I only had some slightly less than fresh pita bread on hand. I hate waste so wanted to use it and these were born from what was in my fridge/pantry. The perfect lazy, waste free dinner and so delicious I made them 3 times in a week.
SWEET POTATO NOODLE STIR FRY
Sweet potato as a noodle! So quick and easy to make and so much flavour and vegetable in one bowl. It also reheats really well so you can take your leftovers to work, meal prep sorted!
