Healthy Vegan - Marrow, Manchego Cheese, White Beans and Sage Pithivier

I made this Marrow, Manchego Cheese, White Beans and SageBake of the Week hosted by Casa Costello. and Tuma's Tongue Treats who is hosting Pithivier with some of the marrow that was left over from theBake of the Week hosted by Casa Costello. and Tuma's Tongue Treats who is hosting Marrow Conserve recipe (featured in the photograph) next to the jars.

 I have to admit, I was not overly impressed with the filling whilst I was making it.  It looked a bit simple and boring.  I was also unsure what cheese to use and still had some remnants of Manchego cheese left over from Bake of the Week hosted by Casa Costello. and Tuma's Tongue Treats who is hosting Griddled Summer Vegetable Tart with Manchego Cheese Tart and added that to the mixture when it had cooled down. The puff pastry was filled, folded into pasties and then baked to taken into work the following day for lunch. 
Well surprising  these Marrow, Manchego Cheese, White Beans and Sage Pasties were delicious.  I have to concur with my husband that I too also enjoyed it. 

 The following day, I  used the last of the filling to make some into Bake of the Week hosted by Casa Costello. and Tuma's Tongue Treats who is hosting pithivier style, but you can also just top puff pastry sliced like a flat tart or pizza.


If you don't have marrows, or don't want to use them then use courgettes after all overgrown marrows.
I am sharing this with Bake of the Week hosted by Casa Costello. and Tuma's Tongue Treats who is hosting My Legume Love Affair this month which was created by Susan and is now hosted by Lisa.

Healthy Vegan - Somalian Shahan Ful (Fava Beans in Xawash Tomato Sauce)

Image
Refugee Week is a continuation of  World Refugee Day and marks a collective acknowledgement across the world to raise awareness  of the plight of refugees and asylum seekers across the world.     The theme for Refugee Week for 2016 is  Welcome.    As my blog is a vegetarian food blog  my Simple Act  is to  Cook A Dish from Another Country  and try and raise some awareness that way among some colleagues and some of my readers. Today I will share a vegetarian Somalian dish, that also happens to be vegan.  It is Shahan Faul, Ful Sahan.   This is a bean dish that is also very common in Eritrea, Ethiopian and Sudan.   But before I share the recipe, you may be interested to know that Somali's have been in the U.K for over a century, arriving here as merchant seamen and settling in port cities like Bristol, Liverpool and Cardiff.  However, it was in the 1990s following famine and further conflict in the region in 2...

Healthy Vegan - Aloe Vera In My Kitchen

Image
One again, I really thought I was not going to be able to join in with  In My Kitchen  this month, but here I am with a few little bits in my kitchen and some in cupboards. March sees lots of daffodils around Wales, but sadly this year many of them got crushed by the extraordinary weather: blizzards, strong winds, drifting snow and bitter cold and a storm.  This was then followed by a rare phenomenon of freezing rain, yes rain drops that freeze.   I don't have any happy yellow daffodils to share with you today, but instead I share with you two house plants that are not in my kitchen as there is no room on the window sill, so they are upstairs in one of the rooms.  The cactus given to me by my mother and the other - an Aloe Vera by a new work colleague who happens to be from Mauritius, who is becoming a friend.   I must confess, even though I do well growing vegetables and herbs in my allotment garden plot, house plants are another story....

Healthy Vegan - Festive Shenanigans at Work

Image
Work has been busy with deadlines to complete, that I find myself too tired to come home and then sit in front of the computer to blog, but I have found some energy today.  Giant Santa Claus in Bristol I don't have much to share in the way of cooking at home at the moment, so today I thought I would share some festive shenanigans from work.   Here is a Christmas tree made from scratch with green paper and then decorated with mini baubles.  Even I made an effort making a gold 3D angel topper for my Christmas tree at home.  At work, colleagues decided to spruce up the workplace and do a cheap and cheerful challenge called Pimp your Pod.  Surprisingly, me and my colleagues came first with our simple cascading tinsel Christmas tree.   But fair play to the runners up with their Stranger Things Wall theme , though not everyone got it - thinking it was a ouiji board!  By the way it was more effective and impressive with the lights turned ...
