Healthy Vegan - Mostly Plum Harvest Monday

A bit like the last time I participated in Harvest Monday I don't have much to share in the way of fresh produce, but what I have harvested I have either eaten or preserved for the months to come. 
I have picked more than this one yellow cherry tomato, a good bowl full in fact (sadly not pictured) - but I like this picture that I just had to share it. 
Still picking some salad greens from the greenhouse and edible flowers from the garden plot. 
The courgettes are beginning to dwindle now.  I made this Stuffed Fantail Courgette stuffed with vegetarian mince.
We came back from our holidays on Saturday and a load of plums were on the ground, bruised, battered that the only place for them was the bin.  Such a shame really, still we have some still hanging on and this means we still have more plum recipes to share, but here are a handful that have made an appearance on my blog already, just in case you've missed it.

I've made a number of Jams known as Jellys in the USA, such as  Plum Cinnamon Jam; Plum and Vanilla Jam; Plum and Licorice; and even Plum and Star Anise Jam.
Plum and Raspberry Ketchup.
Plum and Licorice Milkshake 
And finally, Plum and Cinnamon Loaf.  You can find the recipe here, but there are so many more plum recipes to come including a vegan Plum Curry. I am sharing this post with  Harvest Monday is hosted by Dave over Our Happy Acres.

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

Image
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...
