Healthy Vegan - Bakers Dozen: Savoury Strawberry Recipes

We Brits are very reserved with our strawberries come the Summer season.  We love mostly to make jam with our British strawberries so that we can slather it on our homemade scones.  Come Wimbledon - it becomes fashionable to indulge in Strawberries and Cream or the more traditional Eton Mess.  

 Well for a change and in the name of  culinary and cultural diversity, I recently decided to make a Strawberry Curry and it got me thinking about other savoury strawberry recipes.  Strawberries in a savoury dish?!  Its actually not as terrible as you may think.  Imagine a strawberry a bit like a cherry tomato.  Its not always sweet, sometimes sharp too or sometimes both.  Perfect for Goats cheese or Mozzarella Toasted Panini, or on a Bruschetta.  

 Here are twelve Savoury Strawberry vegetarian and vegan recipes from around blogosphere.   
Strawberry, Avocado and Walnut Salad from the magnificent Green Gourmet Giraffe
Strawberry and Jalapeno Salsa 
Strawberry Chilli Jam perfect for savoury Oatcakes or simply on toast.
Something else that would be excellent on crust bread would be this Strawberry Ketchup for veggie burgers (not pictured), the recipe comes from The Yellow Apron.
I f you want something a little lighter and elegant, try this easy chilled strawberry Soup aka Strawberry Gazpacho from The Star.
Check out these vegan Strawberry and Tofu Spring Rolls by The Dirty Hippie and The Bohemian girl.  
A impressive Strawberry Quiche with Brie Cheese that would make an excellent centrepiece for a buffet.
You will either love or hate this vegan Strawberry Risotto with Salad greens
Broccoli in Savoury Sauce by by KiipFit.  It does contain Worcestershire sauce, but that can be substituted with a vegan version.
Vegetarian Savoury Strawberry Pizza by Dishing Up The Dirt.  
Or if you want some comfort gooey crunch, how about this Gluten Free Grilled Strawberry and Cheese Sandwich from The Tomato Tart.   And finally a fabulous Hot and Smoky Strawberry Sauce (not pictured) that would be fantastic over a tofu steak. 

 Do you have any Savoury Strawberry recipes that you would like to share?

Healthy Vegan - Black Chickpeas and Carrot Curry Perfect for Halloween

Image
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 Ingre...

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...

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...
