🌱🍝 43/40: White bean fettuccine alfredo with peas

🌱🍝 43/40: White bean fettuccine alfredo with peas & sun-dried tomatoes

Fettuccine in a creamy vegan sauce made from white beans, nut butter, garlic and nutritional yeast. Topped off with green peas and sun-dried tomatoes.

Calling this an "alfredo" sauce is rather misleading. Is it a nice creamy sauce? For sure. Is it anything like a "proper" (read: traditional) alfredo sauce? Mneeeh.
Doesn't change the fact I will keep this recipe in my repertoire for sure! It's so quick and easy to make. You can hussle this up in less than 15 minutes.

Beware that this dish is super filling! Pasta, beans, peas. It's carb on carb on carb violence!

Have been trying new vegan and vegetarian dishes in the last weeks and am eating mostly plant-based up until I tried at least 40 new recipes. This was number 43 ✌️ okay okay, I'm really done now. Haha this was a fun little experiment again.

🌱🥦 42/40: Cauliflower with basil stir fry Caulifl

🌱🥦 42/40: Cauliflower with basil stir fry

Cauliflower stir-fried with some ginger, garlic, chili and soy sauce. Toss in some basil and you are done.

This recipe is not my favorite to be honest. First of all, calling cauliflower that simmers for 25 minutes in a skillet a "stir-fry" is a long shot. Second of all, the basil in this Chinese flavored dish is not really working for me.

Have been trying new vegan and vegetarian dishes in the last weeks and am eating mostly plant-based up until I tried at least 40 new recipes. This was recipe 42. Overshot my goal here a bit but gone into a nice little flow.

Found this recipe in a stir-fry special folder back in 2018 by @foodnetwork / @foodnetworkkitchen

🌱🇮🇳🍛 40&41/40: Indian Saag with chickpeas and home

🌱🇮🇳🍛 40&41/40: Indian Saag with chickpeas and homemade naan

Indian spinach dish with lots of flavor and depth from onions, garlic, ginger, chili, ground cloves and cinnamon. Super healthy and very easy to make. Extra body and fiber from chickpeas. This one's dietician approved for sure!

Served with homemade naan bread. Never tried to make naan before. Mine didn't puff up properly. It was quite dense and rather on the dry side. Choosing a griddle pan probably also wasn't the best choice. Oh well, you live and you learn!

Have been trying new vegan and vegetarian dishes in the last weeks and am eating mostly plant-based up until I tried at least 40 new recipes. These were recipes number 40 and 41. YES! Done and dusted! Even overshot my goal ✌️

🌱🍠🍲 38&39/40: Sweet potato and chickpea curry & In

🌱🍠🍲 38&39/40: Sweet potato and chickpea curry & Indian Upma

The curry is made from sweet potato, red onion, leek, Indian curry paste, chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, lentils, chickpeas, spinach, cilantro, and -of course- coconut milk. Quite a list of ingredients, but can be hustled up in 20 mins, plus 25 mins simmering time. Very filling, bold flavors, and it feels incredibly healthy.

By now I have tried quite a range of vegan sweet potato curries. This one feels like a solid versatile base that you can experiment with and swap out ingredients willy-nilly. Swap the Indian curry paste for Thai curry paste and you got a whole new dish.

I served the curry with Upma (or Oopma); Upma is an Indian thick porridge made from dry roasted semolina. Chili, cumin, curry leaves, raisins, cashews, peas, and coconut flakes give this side dish some proper oomph. I roasted the semolina in the oven - maybe a tad too long. It had a very nutty taste to it. Nonetheless, not bad.

Have been trying new vegan and vegetarian dishes in the last weeks and am eating mostly plant-based up until I tried at least 40 new recipes. These were recipes number 38 and 39 - yes, yes - one more to go!!

🍌🥯 37/40: Banana Jam
(These two emojis seem very raunchy next to each other... 😂)
Super easy recipe and a lot tastier than I expected. Just simmer some smushed bananas with sugar, vanilla and a splodge of dark rum. Seems so overly sweet while it is still warm but is absolutely perfect when cooled down.
Have it on bread, or toast, or cheese or peanut butter, or ice cream, or ... So many possibilities.
