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 - 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
