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 - Black Chickpeas Salad with Coriander

Image
The weather is so changeable at the moment, its gone all warm again. I came home a little earlier than usual and wanted to eat something quite light, hence this Black Chickpeas Salad with Coriander. Of course, this was not going to be enough as a meal for two, so alongside the Black Chickpeas Salad with Coriander, I made a Tomato Tarte Tatin.   It made for a nice change.  The feta here is optional, I used it as that is what I had in the fridge, but you could substitute it with halloumi cheese or if your going for a vegan or dairy free option, perhaps smoked tofu.  I think you need a soft texture with the nutty black chickpeas and the fragrant herb brings it all together. What I like about this salad too, it that it is quite seasonal in colours - going all autumnal, but also a perfect salad to knock up for a Halloween feast if you are planning a vegan or vegetarian Black Food Menu .   Please don't worry too much if you can't find black chickpeas where you are, just su

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.  Its not like a risotto wh

Healthy Vegan - Retro Vegan Hand Raised Pie for Sharing

Image
Yesterday's prompt was reach out! make a new vegan friend and tell us about it.  Its one of the reasons I am participating in Vegan Mofo and for me that is reaching out.  Saying that its also nice to be reacquainted with Rose from Dandylion Vegan Blog and if I had to tell you about a lovely vegan friend, there are quite a few in my real life and quite a few that I have met on blogosphere, so to single one out would be unfair. I love them all in different ways, they know who they are.   And today's prompt is most retro recipe.  I have a couple of recipes that I consider to be retro on my blog, some are vegan like this Lemon Cherry Tofu Cheesecake and this  Chilli Chocolate Tofu Cheesecake , but many other retro recipes are vegetarian.  Some of course can easily be veganized like this retro Kiev's , but instead I am sharing these two rather large vegan Hand Raised Pies, its irrelevant what is in these vegan pies, its more about the size, because this time size does matte
