Healthy Vegan - #EatYourGreens July Round Up

Welcome to July's Round up of Eat Your Greens.  We have 6 super vegetarian and vegan recipes, all very different and all perfect for summer eating out in the garden.   
The first recipe comes from Beth who blogs over at BLT in MT withMexican Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing.  The green here comes from the buttery avocado, green chilli and zesty coriander.  I love Mexican food and this really calls to me.
Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen shared Grilled Bok Choy and Spicy Vinaigrette served with Macaraoni Yum - yes, its vegan too.  Beth has used homegrown bok choy in stir fries, but also smoothies, but she writes grilling it is perhaps her favourite way of eating it.  I will have to try this way of cooking bok choy as I never have.



The second recipe comes from Helen who blogs over at Roast Chicken and A Country Walk. Helen shared with us a Mexican Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing.  The green here comes from the buttery avocado, green chilli and zesty coriander.  I love Mexican food and this really calls to me.
Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen shared Broccoli and Chickpea Salad.    Lisa describes this as a 'earthy salad'.  I love that description - earthy, that often makes me think of beetroot, but her its 'broccoli florets with plump buttery soft chickpeas and nutty brown rice'.  That is not all, its finished off with a zesty dressing that includes pineapple juice.  Go and check it out, its perfect for summer days. 
Corina from Searching For Spice bring to the table her Mexican Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing.  The green here comes from the buttery avocado, green chilli and zesty coriander.  I love Mexican food and this really calls to me.
Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen shared Vegetable Jambalaya.  This is no ordinary Red and Green Jambalaya - its has smoky undertones and sweetness from local tomatoes.  The green comes from sugar snap peas and fresh pea shoots.  
And finally, my own contribution which was Mexican Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing.  The green here comes from the buttery avocado, green chilli and zesty coriander.  I love Mexican food and this really calls to me.
Lisa from Lisa's Kitchen shared Strawberry, Spinach and Asparagus Salad.  
I hope you will join in this months #EatYourGreens challenge Mexican Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing.  The green here comes from the buttery avocado, green chilli and zesty coriander.  I love Mexican food and this really calls to me.

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

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 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
