Things been super busy at home with assessments due, new job and all life things but one thing that never gets neglected is FOOD! 🤭🍽️
Last week we made an absolutely delicious Sweet potato, spinach and chickpea curry and we even made our own onion bhajis! If you haven’t tried it’s super easy and they made such a difference
•
•
Ingredients- serves 3 (for the curry):
2 large chop sweet potato
1 diced white onion
1 small piece of ginger - grated
1 garlic clove grated
1 tin of chickpeas
2 handfuls of spinach
1 sliced chilli
1 tin of coconut milk
300ml of veggie stock
Spices - madras powder, garam masala, crushed chillies, turmeric and cumin (this really depends on the taste of each person)
Salt and pepper to taste
•
Method:
1. In a deep pot cook the onion until translucent, add the garlic, ginger and spices until you start smelling the spices
2. Add the sweet potato, veggie stock, coconut milk and bring it to the boil.
3.Dim the heat and let it simmer for 15 mins or until the sweet potato has a bite to it
4. Add the chickpea and cook for a further 5 minutes, wilt the spinach on the hot sauce.
5. Serve with rice, poppadoms, onion bhajis and raita
6. Enjoy 😋

Ps: for the onion bhajis, I mixed half a red onion and half a white onion, 2 tbsp of flour, curry powder, chilli powder and garam massala - slice the onions, soak the onions in water for 15 mins, drain, mix with the rest of the ingredients and cook it a deep pan with oil until crispy 🧅

👩‍🍳 This one is for all the brunch lovers😋 sweet potato waffles topped with sautéed mushrooms and spinach, avocado, poached egg and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds! Look at those colours 🤭🤩 easy and delicious

Ingredients:
🍠For the sweet potato hash:
1 sweet potato - grated with skin on
1 spring onion
Chilli flakes to taste
1 tbsp of flour
1 tsp of baking powder
30gr of grated cheese - I used cheddar

🥑For the toppings:
Handful of spinach
Handful of mushrooms - sliced
1 garlic clove
1 avocado
1 egg
Pomegranate seeds
Salt and pepper to taste

🔪Method:
1. Warm up your waffle maker.
2. Get your pan of water on with a dash of wine wine vinegar to boil.
3. Mix all the ingredients for the hash apart from the cheese.
4. Your waffle machine should be hot now, open it and sprinkle with cheese (this will make your waffles crispy), add a couple of spoons of the sweet potato mix, spread it through and more cheese on top, close it and let it cook, once your hash is crispy repeat the procedure until you have no more mix.
5. Pan fry the mushroom with a knob of butter for a couple of minutes, mix in the spinach and let it wilt.
6. Poach the egg.
7. You should have all your ingredients ready to plate, you can use the picture as a guide or just be creative 😁
8. Voilá, Dig in and enjoy it 🍽️

Hope you guys enjoy it, if you don’t have a waffle maker, this recipe can also be done in the oven by turning the mix into “patties” or you can fry it up in oil or butter in a frying pan, equally delicious 🤤 by @plateitupcosta

For a few years that the brain was looking for some excitement and new knowledge so I apply for university and got in Food with Nutrition 👩🏻‍🎓 I’m over the moon with the course and even decided to go Veggie 🌽🫛🌱
Learning about sustainable fishing and animal welfare made me realise I’m not doing enough, so we starting a new journey 🥑🌱 follow up!

•First assessment of the year is a well balanced 6 ingredient vegetarian dish - wholewheat spaghetti pasta served with roasted tomatoes, spinach and walnut pesto, crumbled feta and a roasted walnut crumb 🤩 delicious !

Ingredient:
75gr spinach
50 gr of walnuts
50 gr of cherry tomatoes
90 gr wholewheat spaghetti
1 lemon
30gr feta
Salt and pepper
Olive oil

Method:
1. Blend spinach, 30gr of walnuts, lemon zest, lemon juice together and bring it to a paste, add enough oil to make it runny ish. (Best results with a hand blender or a magimix)
2. Roast the tomatoes with salt, pepper and oil till they burst
3. Chop/ bash the walnuts to a crumb
4. Cook the pasta
5. Add the pesto, pasta, cherry tomatoes, some water from your pasta and some of the feta.

🚨⚠️Chorizo, feta and butternut squash broccolini Salad🚨⚠️
Yes chorizo again!! I’ve told you!! Today i’ve made this vibrant and delicious salad, if you haven’t tried butternut squash with chorizo you have to!
Theres no need for a recipe and quantities, i cooked my butternut squash in the oven until soft and lightly brown, fried my chorizo until crispy, blanched my broccolini, mixed it with a few leaves of spinach, made a quick lemon vinaigrette and garnish with feta 😋
DELICIOUS!! 🥗🧀 •

🚨⚠️Summery French Toast⚠️🚨
Today i got inspired by the delicious Eggy Bread @btpcafes, i have twisted this recipe a lot to fit it in my current diet and made it sweet to kill my cravings! This recipe is completely #sugarfree and #glutenfree 🍞
•
•
•
(Serves 1)
Ingredients
(For the bread)
½ tsp butter
1 tbsp almond flour
1 tbsp coconut flour
¾ tsp baking powder
½ pinch salt
1 egg
1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
•
(For the eggy mix)
1 egg
1 tablespoon almond milk
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon granulated sweetener
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tbsp of butter
•
Method:
1️⃣Grease a glass dish/ container with a flat bottom with butter.

3️⃣ Microwave on high (700 watts) for 2 minutes.
4️⃣ Let cool and remove from the mug. Slice in half and then each half diagonally. You should end with 4 triangles.
5️⃣ In a medium bowl or flat-ish dish (think one were you can lay down the slices!), whisk thoroughly together the egg, almond milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract and salt. Set aside. In a small bowl mix the sweetener with the cinnamon and set aside.
6️⃣ Melt the butter in a skillet or pan over medium/high heat.
7️⃣Soak up the bread in the mix for 1 or 2 minutes, place it on the pan and cook each side until nice and golden.

🥗Tweaked Veggie Caesar Salad 🥗
Many might say Caesar Salad is easy to make and you can even buy the sauce already made but as a chef that i am i like to complicate 😂 on this recipe i have made a “cheese mix” instead of parmesan as its healthier and its amazing how close it comes to cheese flavors

6gr of capers
20 ml of olive oil

1 poached egg
A hand full of garlic croutons
•
(For the cheese mix)
20 gr of ground almonds

1 tsp of garlic powder.
•
•
•
Method:
1️⃣Start with the sauce. Cut the chives and the capers thinly.
2️⃣Measure and mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl apart from the oil until it creates a paste.
3️⃣Add the olive oil gradually and mix well.Season to taste.
4️⃣Mix all the ingredients for the cheese mix until all incorporated and have the texture of grated cheese.
5️⃣Torn the lettuce in big pieces to a mixing bowl.
6️⃣Toss it with the croutons, green beans, chives roughly chopped, 2/3 of the cheese mix and the caesar dressing.

Tips:
If you’re a vegan replace the mayo by vegan Mayo, replace the egg for any of your favorites and you will have a beautiful salad full of flavor.
For the meat lovers, add your chicken or chorizo to it and you will love it even more.
Enjoy 😉
