Healthy Vegan - Little Welsh Nibbles In My Kitchen

With today being St David's Day, I thought I would share some Welsh things and Welsh nibbles in my kitchen. 
 I treated myself to a cute new Welsh mug, this has found its way to the office. 
I've showcased this chopping board before on my blog, but I couldn't resist sharing it again.  It reads in Welsh 'Homemade Bread made with Love'.  It was given to me as a gift from my nephew many years ago and I still treasure it, no bread or bread knife has ever been near it. 
This is a novelty dish wash scrubby in the shape of a Welsh daffodil.  
I've had Blodyn Aur Welsh Rapeseed Oils in my kitchen cupboards for a while, I often use them for pasta salads.  The Oak Smoked and Chilli Oil are my favourites. I've been using the Chilli Oil quite generously recently, I think its my favourite of the three. Blodyn Aur means golden flower. 
 I've been making vegan Welsh Laverbread Caviar for a while, here is a jar that I made recently.  Follow this link if you want the recipe. 
I seem to always have a tin or two of laverbread in my kitchen cupboards, as well as making the vegan Laverbread Caviar, I've made Welsh Cottage Pie with Laverbread Mash and Laverbread Scones.

The Welsh Laverbread Scones were also smothered in Collier's Welsh Cheddar and Dragon Welsh Caerphilly Cheese.

I also picked up some Colliers Welsh Rarebit Potato Crisps and Colliers Welsh Churned Butter.  PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED BLOG POST.  I am Welsh and I do like trying Welsh produce.  Opinions are always my own. 
I have had this Bim's African Boabab Chilli Jam in my kitchen for a few months.  I picked it up when I went to Cardiff and stumbled across a indie shop in one of the arcades called Wondrously Welsh - it was stacked high with Welsh products and handmade crafts. 
I also picked up this Patchwork Smokey Mushroom Marmalade Pate.  I hope to crack open both these jars in the next few weeks when I make some home-made bread.  I also have some Hilltop Honey to share.
In my kitchen you will also find some welsh cookbooks.  I have been flicking through them for inspiration for St David's Day.   I have recently made Welsh Cottage Pie; Indo Cymru Stew with Cwtch Dumplings; Welsh Cawl Hot Pot; and there is much more to come.

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 a...

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 tim...

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.  ...
