Healthy Vegan - Eat Your Greens November Round Up

Happy 1st of December, let the countdown to Christmas begin!


But first let me share with you November's contributions for #Eat Your Greens.  


We have 10 Fantastic vegetarian and vegan recipes, all very different and all inspiring.  

Firstly we have a Cabbage, Apple and Cashew Nut Salad with a Peanut Dressing from Helen who blogs over at Roast Chicken and A Country Walk.  This is a Asian style Salad that is perfect for nippy days.  Helen writes the sweetness of the apples balances the bitterness from the cabbage and the peanuts and cashew nuts temper the warmth and sourness from the lime and chilli.  

Then we have Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen brought to the November table a Sweet Potato, Chickpeas and Spinach Curry.  This is a  deeply creamy curry blanketing sweet earthy vegetables which also include garden peas and spinach, enhanced further with buttery plump chickpeas.  
Next Choclette who blogs over at Tin and Thyme has had a fantastic 2016 has brought Cabbage, Apple and Cashew Nut Salad with a Peanut Dressing from Helen who blogs over at Roast Chicken and A Country Walk.  This is a Asian style Salad that is perfect for nippy days.  Helen writes the sweetness of the apples balances the bitterness from the cabbage and the peanuts and cashew nuts temper the warmth and sourness from the lime and chilli.  

Then we have Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen brought to the November table a Kale Chickpea and Orz Soup with Garlic, Ginger and Chilli.  I love how the orzo is glowing on the surface in places like pine nuts embraced by frilly sheets of kale.  Her soup has warming spices and aromatic fennel seeds and zesty lemon. Go on tuck in and warm up. 
Jagruti's Cooking Odyssey presents us with Cabbage, Apple and Cashew Nut Salad with a Peanut Dressing from Helen who blogs over at Roast Chicken and A Country Walk.  This is a Asian style Salad that is perfect for nippy days.  Helen writes the sweetness of the apples balances the bitterness from the cabbage and the peanuts and cashew nuts temper the warmth and sourness from the lime and chilli.  

Then we have Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen brought to the November table a Green Peas and Mint Rice - Pilav. Jagruti recommends this classically flavoured  aromatic rice with Daal, Curry of just have it with a good raita.   Sometimes simplicity is best.  Its truly lovely and I can only imagine the scent. 
Sadhna from Herbs, Spices and Traditions shares a beautifully presentedCabbage, Apple and Cashew Nut Salad with a Peanut Dressing from Helen who blogs over at Roast Chicken and A Country Walk.  This is a Asian style Salad that is perfect for nippy days.  Helen writes the sweetness of the apples balances the bitterness from the cabbage and the peanuts and cashew nuts temper the warmth and sourness from the lime and chilli.  

Then we have Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen brought to the November table a Cocktail Kebabs made with spinach and beetroot.  The colours are natural from the vegetables.  Now don't you want this on your festive buffet table or as an appetizer.  I know I do.  Sadhna's recipe was published recently in the Vancouver based Durpan Magazine.  Well done Sadhna!  
Now we have a feast for the eyes.  Johanna behind Green Gourmet Giraffe delights us with her Cabbage, Apple and Cashew Nut Salad with a Peanut Dressing from Helen who blogs over at Roast Chicken and A Country Walk.  This is a Asian style Salad that is perfect for nippy days.  Helen writes the sweetness of the apples balances the bitterness from the cabbage and the peanuts and cashew nuts temper the warmth and sourness from the lime and chilli.  

Then we have Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen brought to the November table a Rainbow Salad with Orange and Sesame Dressing.  I am lost for words really, but I will say that this is perhaps the most colourful rainbow salad that I have ever seen.  I also love how the salad is studded with black sesame seeds it seems to bring out the colours more.  
My fantastic co-host The Veg Hog shares with us Cabbage, Apple and Cashew Nut Salad with a Peanut Dressing from Helen who blogs over at Roast Chicken and A Country Walk.  This is a Asian style Salad that is perfect for nippy days.  Helen writes the sweetness of the apples balances the bitterness from the cabbage and the peanuts and cashew nuts temper the warmth and sourness from the lime and chilli.  

Then we have Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen brought to the November table a Papparadelle with Runner Beans and Roasted Vine Tomatoes.  This warm pasta supper was made after work during a long  working day.  The runner beans make for a change.  The sweet roasted vine tomatoes pierced the earthiness of the chunky runner beans.  I like quick suppers like this and this pasta dish would be a welcome change from a standard tinned tomato pasta.   
And finally, my own contribution to Eat Your Greens was  Fishless Cabbage, Apple and Cashew Nut Salad with a Peanut Dressing from Helen who blogs over at Roast Chicken and A Country Walk.  This is a Asian style Salad that is perfect for nippy days.  Helen writes the sweetness of the apples balances the bitterness from the cabbage and the peanuts and cashew nuts temper the warmth and sourness from the lime and chilli.  

Then we have Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen brought to the November table a Sea Vegetable Cakes. These Sea Vegetable cakes are made from Japanese seaweed and made for a nice light lunch.

Healthy Vegan - Whole Fava Beans Stew with Peppers

Image
August has brought us high winds and rain and a wanting for bowl food . Have you ever had whole fava beans?  If whole fava beans had a personality, it would be the fictional character Fonzie from the American sitcom Happy Days biker in a leathery rugged jacket, all tough on the outside - but a sweetheart on the inside.   So h ere is my second recipe with whole fava beans still in their handsome jackets.  The last recipe I made with whole fava beans was  Somalian Fava Beans  and they were utterly delicious.  Anyway, as the fava beans were bubbling away in the pot, it struck me that it was just a bowl of brown beans and not particularly appealing, looking a bit plain.  I decided to throw in a red and yellow pepper just to give it more colour.  It worked visually.  However, taste and flavour wise this Fava Bean Stew was okay, yes just okay.  Although it made for a pleasant change from spicy stews, I still prefer spicy stews or stews with a little bit of spice.   Please don

I am going to a gig tonight and am looking forward to it.  It hosted at a Miners Institute in the Welsh valleys.  D is taking his camera, so who knows I may be able to share more later in the week, but before I go off gallivanting, I thought I would share this orange and black bowl of food. Yes, another one, that is perfect for those cooking up a feast for the Halloween weekend.   The b lack comes from black chickpeas and orange from carrots or course, for the beady eyed amongst you there are some 'brain like' pieces in the bowl too, this is cauliflower that has turned orange from the turmeric. The recipe is adapted from my vegan Marrow Curry with Chickpeas , but this one is studded with black chickpeas and in place of the marrow, carrots and cauliflower.  Please don't worry too much if you can't find black chickpeas where you are, just substitute it with the traditional variety. Black Chickpeas with Carrots (and Cauliflower)   Serves 4 - 6 Ingredients 4

Healthy Vegan - Surprise Vegan Eats

The prompt today gave me the chuckles ' Share something vegan (and delicious, duh) with a non-vegan'.  Well I am the non-vegan here participating in Vegan Mofo and everything I have been making this month has been vegan and pretty delicious.  But I haven't kept it all to myself.  I have been very generous with my kitchen experiments taking some of my edible creations to family and some into work and sharing with friends and colleagues, some are vegetarian, but most are omnivores.   H ere are some dishes that I have recently shared with non-vegans and non-vegetarians in my life. First up is an  Ethiopian and Ertirean inspired Zigni Broth  based on the more familiar D'ba Zigni.  This one has sweet potatoes and spinach. It was the first time some of them had tried an Ethiopian and Eritrean food and like me were surprised at how spicy it was.   Next we have a vegetarian chilli.   You can't go wrong with a vegetarian chilli with family and friends, and then g
