Healthy Vegan - Graffiti Art Down Bristol Alleys

Forget about what you will find in the woods...
If you go down this little alley in the city centre of Bristol, England you will find some interesting wildlife albeit through graffiti art.  
We stumbled upon this alley on our way to Bristol Harbourside for Bristol Veg Fest a few weeks back.

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 - vegan Sri Lankan Style Jackfruit Curry - Polos Ambula

Image
This  is a very inauthentic take on a Sri Lankan Jackfruit Curry known as Polos Ambula.   I say inauthentic for two reasons.  One I have adapted it to my vegetarian palette.  There is only one ingredient that makes it unsuitable and that is umbalakada  (maldive fish powder) so it was easy to omit that and replace with vegan fish sauce alternative, tamari or even a dash of seaweed powder and therefore also accidentally vegan.  Two, I was unable to get my hold of some of the ingredients required to make this recipe as close to the original such as  goraka (a sour - acidic  fruity spice) and  rampe (pandan ).  The others such as karapincha (curry leaves), fresh and the dried variety, sera (lemongrass) and thunapaha (curry powder) can be found in most towns and cities in the UK. I also have to admit, I had to look these up the translation for most of these ingredients as I was unfamiliar with them and landed on very interesting bl...

Healthy Vegan - Very Easy Red Cabbage Pesto

Image
A few months ago, I got hold of some purple sweet potato.  I made a Pizza with it, but we were so hungry that evening that I never got round to photographing its bold vivid colour.  I did not want to lose out on sharing the striking bright colour of this easy red purple cabbage pesto.   So I asked D to get a photograph for me while I got on with other things in the kitchen.   I had half a red cabbage in the fridge, left over from another another dish  that I had made (also not photographed).  I was inspired to make a Red Cabbage Pesto that I saw a long while back in The Guardian and bookmarked.   Its a relatively simple and easy recipe, only four ingredients: red cabbage, garlic, sunflower seeds and olive oil.   I have to admit the raw garlic was quite pungent to the point it had heat and left that burning sensation in the mouth, not particularly pleasant.  So I sauteed the pesto in a little oil before using it for the required dish,...
