These colourful, easy bowls celebrate the time-honoured classic combo of tofu with peanut sauce. Add a nutritious swag of vegetables, and you’ve got a quick, healthy plant-based meal.
…Freestyle Peanut Tofu Bowls
Shiitake Ginger Rice Bites
I love all mushrooms, but I have a serious crush on shiitakes. There’s something about their umami, earthy, almost creamy, deliciously savoury flavour that makes me snaffle them up whenever I see them at the market. Here they’re paired with a simple medley of brown rice & zingy ginger, and fried into cute little nutrient-dense fritters. Stuff them in pita or wrap, add them to a grazing platter or Buddha bowl, pop them on the side of your salad, or simply snack on them as is.
…Capsicum Bruschetta
My cousin was enthusing about a capsicum bruschetta she’d made, involving sultanas and anchovies. I was intrigued by the sweet alongside the salty, so I experimented with capers – and this is the finger lickin’ result. Slick, oily, and savoury, yet also sweet and juicy – with only a handful of ingredients, each element gets a chance to shine.
…Sticky Citrus Tofu
Zesty, sticky, not too sweet! This is a delicious glazed tofu recipe where you choose which citrus fruit takes the starring role. I’ve tried variations with fresh lime, orange and lemon – all three are winners, so you can have seasonal citrusy goodness.
…Crunchy Herby Lentil Salad
In this bright, fresh salad, the humble earthy lentil is the star of the show, alongside a team of crunchy sidekicks. Flavour is simple, coming from lemon juice and fresh herbs, with bursts of crisp apple & celery. Toasted nuts & seeds tie it all together – my go-to combo is chopped almonds, along with sunflower, pumpkin & sesame seeds (if you’re in a rush, you can always chop up some shop-bought pre-roasted nuts)
…Lemony Kale Pasta
This is such a quick, easy & delicious way to get fresh greens in your belly, and it makes a delightful change from regular pesto. Whip up the green goodness while your pasta cooks, and you’ll have a super fast meal on the table in no time, full of flavour, full of goodness (so zesty delicious, I want to eat the pesto straight from the blender!)
Moroccan Bean Stew
Thick, hearty & comforting, this flavourful one-pot-wonder will warm the cockles of your heart. Packed with plant-protein, it’s lovingly seasoned with the warming spice of cinnamon, smoked paprika, cumin & turmeric. Serve with hot toast or fresh bread, and dunk to your heart’s content.
…Zephyr’s Tomato Soup
One day our 14 year old loudly declared a craving for tomato soup, and dived into the kitchen to create some. I helped a little, with quantities etc (and clean up…!) but the flavours and ingredients are Zephyr’s creation. Taste wise, there’s warmth and depth from cumin and smoked paprika, and nutritionally, we’ve added red lentils to thicken it up with some plant protein.
…Choose-Your-Grain Salad with Orange & Coriander
This salad is big & hearty – it can be a meal on its own, or served as a satisfying side. It’s also remarkably versatile so you can personalize it to what you have on hand & what flavours you prefer. I’ve broken the recipe down into three simple parts – the basic zesty salad, where you choose your own grain (I’ve tried variations of millet, brown rice, quinoa), then add veges of your choice, either raw or cooked, and pull it all together with a citrusy dressing.
…Easy Pulled Jackfruit
Mexi-inspired savoury goodness, ready to stuff into a tortilla, spread over corn chips for nachos, toss with roast potatoes, tip into a taco…so versatile! This recipe uses tinned jackfruit, combined with an easy sauce, then simmered in one pan until deliciously fragrant and soft.
