Having never previously cooked polenta, up until a couple of weeks ago, we’ve now made it three times in three weeks! We used it in the same way we did when we made meatballs, by creaming it with parmesan. This recipe calls for only a few ingredients, and makes a really delicious warm dish for…
By now, I’m sure you all know how much I adore Indian curries. They have to be my favourite dish. In fact, Indian food in general is my favourite cuisine, with Japanese coming a close second. Each time we make our beloved vegan curry – using the same recipe – we add a different vegetable,…
Following on with our vegetarian/vegan trend (ie. using up the rest of our soy mince), today’s recipe is a soy chilli creation! This is just as easy to make as our soy spaghetti bolognese, that I posted about a couple of weeks ago, and is equally as healthy. Ingredients (serves 4) 1 red onion, chopped…
Another week, another recipe! This week we tried out a vegetarian spaghetti bolognese, using soy mince from Tesco. We have a habit of using lots of different vegetables in our meals, and then tend to go overboard with the quantities! But this is never a bad thing, as you can always freeze any left overs….
Ingredients: Feta, spinach, half a pomegranate, cucumber, tomato, 2 boiled eggs, couscous, salt, pepper and olive oil. This is probably the tastiest salad I’ve ever made at home before… with the help of Stew of course. It’s great that we’re both into eating healthy and making our own food. It definitely helps to have someone…
4 pieces of bread, a punnet of cherry tomatoes, a handful of spinach, 2 spoonfuls of cottage cheese and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. The other day for breakfast Stew and I rustled up this very tasty tomato, spinach and cheese bruschetta. It was so easy to do and really tasty. We simply grilled the…
Serves 2 140g pasta, 140g broccoli cut into florets, 12g butter, 150ml milk, 12g plain flour, 120g cheddar cheese grated and some nachos. This dish combines two of my favourite things – pasta bake and broccoli cheese! Since a young age I never liked cauliflower cheese because I couldn’t stand cauliflower so my Mum would…
Couscous, a range of vegetables, salad to serve. This is so simple and tasty! All you need to do is chop up some vegetables, we chose pepper, green beans, tomatoes, shallots, garlic and added tofu. Roast these in an oiled roasting dish for around 30 minutes at 180 degrees or until lightly browned. Remove from…
1 can chickpeas, 1 clove garlic, 1/4 lemon juice, salt and pepper, 2 tbsp olive oil Drain a can of chickpeas so that only half of their juice is available, pour into a bowl. Add 1 clove of crushed garlic, squirt a quarter of a lemon in, add salt and pepper and 2 tablespoons of…
I thought this would be quite dry and would need some kind of cream or stock, but actually it wasn’t at all once you mixed it all together. I didn’t make the pesto myself, but the jar I bought added a lovely creamy texture throughout the dish. I added two handfuls of pine nuts…
Last week I made this scrumptious meal for myself and my flat mate and it only took about 15 minutes to make! Yep that’s right I’ve finally managed to master the art of cooking 15 minute meals a la Jamie Oliver!! Ingredients (serves 2) 1 avocado 1 lemon 1tsp pesto 1 clove garlic, crushed 100g…
