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 - 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

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 ...
