Healthy Vegan - Welcoming June #EatYourGreens Recipes and May's Round Up

Lovely June is here and I am glad May is gone.
We have  8 rich green recipes to share for #EatYourGreens. 
The first Eat Your Greens recipe comes from Laura who blogs at Touch Wood.  Laura shared Three Ways with Leftover Rice, above is her  plate loaded with kale and naturally buttery avocado. Please go on over and check out the other Two Ways....
The second recipe comes from Kate who blogs at Gluten Free Alchemist.   Kate brought to the table a naturally sweet Raw Green smoothie.  This stunning Superfood Smoothie is packed with lots of green fruit and vegetables including kale, spinach, grapes, pear, kiwi fruit and even pistachio nuts.  
Corina from Searing with Spice  joins us with her Asparagus, Kale and Dolcelatte Pasta.  Galina is not that keen on kale and she is still not convinced even having made this lovely bowl of pasta, which by the way also has some courgettes.  I think it looks delicious, not only would it be good for an evening meal, but I think I'd happily have this for lunch too.  
Johanna from Green Gourmet Giraffe has joined in with us this month with her Savoury Cheddar, Kale and Facon Muffins.  These plump and cheerful muffins are made with homemade tofu bacon and I would agree with Johanna, I too would feel like a domestic goddess eating these at work with some red pepper sticks on the side. 
From Lisa's Kitchen we have a Creamy Spinach with Mung Beans.  Lisa writes this makes for a easy, but light but complete and filling meal.  The Creamy Spinach with Mung Beans are served on a bed of Saffron Rice. 
The Veg Hog my lovely co-host is taking a break hosting #EatYourGreens as she is moving to Copenhagen, Denmark this next month, so I will be hosting until she has settled into her new abode.  

 The VegHog shared Kabuki Pea Burgers made with kabuki peas and pea protein powder and boosted further with some pea shoots.  
And finally, my own contribution which was a Harissa Stew with Broccoli and Chickpeas.  


Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to #EatYourGreens, please do take time to visit and comment on every contributors recipe if you can,

As mentioned above, whilst The Veg Hog is moving to her new abode I will be hosting #EatYourGreens challenge in June and July.  Please Follow this link on how to join in and then add your contribution to the comment box.  I look forward to your contributions.

Healthy Vegan - Dill Horseradish Mashed Potatoes

Image
l have a confession to make.  I don't like mashed potatoes.  It is baby food designed for grown ups. I avoid making it, but if I have to t he only way I can eat it is if it is disguised in panko crusted  croquettes or dolloped over a good Vegetarian Shepherdess Pie,   but my dearest loves mashed potatoes, so it is for him I make them now and again.   Here the mashed potatoes are enhanced with herby dill and a good smack of horseradish powder or sauce. Once you've made it though, there is the question of presentation.    The mash was ridiculously smooth, so smooth that it almost melted in the mouth like snow - except of course it was warm.   Dill Horseradish Mashed Potatoes Serves 4 - 6 as an accompaniment Ingredients 500ml water 750grams potatoes, peeled and chopped into small bite size pieces 1 tablespoon horseradish powder or sauce 2 tablespoons dill, roughly chopped 30grams butter or vegan margarine 100ml - 150ml milk or ve...

Healthy Vegan - 13 Black Food Recipes for Halloween

Image
I have black quinoa, black rice and black garlic in my kitchen to experiment with over the weekend, but with Halloween fast becoming UKs most commercialised event after Christmas , I thought I would shamelessly  jump on the bandwagon and share some vegetarian and vegan black coloured food recipes you could easily make at home for the Halloween party (or maybe not). This is  Sweet Black Butter  (vegan)  made with black sesame seeds. Halloween Fruit Leather Bats   (vegan) Black Olive Spider Gratin   (vegan) Halloween Black Rice Risotto  (vegetarian) here it is topped with feta cheese, but you could easily make it suitable for vegans by substituting it with smoked tofu - cut into the shapes of ghosts - Boo! Halloween Black Olive Tapenade  (vegan) something different to spread onto those  crackers or pumpkin shaped bread rolls.  Not technically Halloween food, but this  Malaysian Black Pepper Tofu  ( vegan) ce...

Healthy Vegan - Three Pea Tagine with Cherry Tomatoes

Image
These days, I don't have much energy to cook from scratch when I get in from work unless its something like pasta such as  Spaghetti dish, but strangely enough I did actually make this Three Pea Tagine after work in the late evening.   I was rather surprised that I had both the energy and the inclination.  This was one of those days, when i decided to myself that I was not going to plonk myself in front of either the computer or sofa and instead use those couple of hours a little more usefully, then laze.  Other than making couscous, grub was made and it was plenty to last us two days if not more.   Its actually a relatively easy recipe, after sauteing the onions, garlic and spices, you could happily leave it for 40 - 45 minutes for the yellow split peas to cook in the vegetable stock, then stir in the remaining ingredients such as chickpeas, raisins, green peas, cherry tomatoes which happen to be home gown for 10 minutes and its pretty much done.  ...
