Speedy Healthy Black Eyed Beans Curry

Speedy Healthy Black Eyed Beans Curry

A simple speedy healthy black eyed beans curry recipe that comes together in just 20 minutes! Made with wholesome ingredients and tastes absolutely delicious. I can never get bored of bean based dishes. They're such a wholesome and versatile ingredient that also happen to be affordable too! For some reason unbeknown to me, black eyed beans don't seem to enjoy the same popularity as their bean and legume counterparts like chickpeas, white beans and lentils. If you've tried black eyed beans before, you'll know they have a unique taste. As I do with most of my recipes, I like to give you options to change around the recipe depending on what you like or what you have available in your [...]

Middle Eastern Butter Bean Stew

Middle Eastern Butter Bean Stew

This Middle Eastern butter bean stew is inspired by my love of Fasoulia - a bean dish I grew up eating and loving! Growing up, my mum's Fasoulia was one of my favourite dishes. I used to get so excited when it was Fasoulia day! A rich tomatoey stew with white beans and chunks of meat served with rice and a fresh salad. Although this dish is traditionally made with white/cannellini beans, I decided to make a slight variation and used butter beans instead. The creaminess of the butter beans marries so well with the zingy, rich tomato sauce. They both taste equally as delicious though, so whichever you have available will do. A super speedy meal that's ready in [...]

Butter Bean Tofu Stew (High Protein + Vegan)

Butter Bean Tofu Stew (High Protein + Vegan)

A delicious creamy dish that's ready to enjoy in 30 minutes! This butter bean tofu stew is packed with a whopping 32g protein and 10g fibre per serving! It's also super easy to make with easy to find ingredients. One of the problems with vegan/vegetarian dishes can easily be lacking in protein. I always make a conscious effort to make sure my meals contain 20-30g protein to make sure I meet my daily requirements. Beans are a good source of protein, but you would need to eat a lot of them to get enough protein, which isn't easy as they're also high in fibre and can be difficult to digest for some. Tofu is one of the easiest ways to [...]

Vegan Chickpea Peanut Butter Curry

Vegan Chickpea Peanut Butter Curry

A speedy curry that will leave you feeling full and satisfied. Once you try this vegan chickpea peanut butter curry, you’ll be making it all the time! Last year I made this easy and quick coconut chickpea curry which has since become my go-to speedy dinner. It's so convenient and it's the kind of recipe that you probably already have all the required ingredients for in your cupboard. Even if you don't, you can easily adjust it depending on what you have available or to your liking. I wanted to make something similar, but with different flavours just so I have a variation to fall back on if I don't have coconut milk for example or if I'm simply craving a change, [...]

California Walnut Keema

California Walnut Keema

*This post is sponsored by California Walnuts* Keema is a minced meat dish usually made with minced beef or lamb. It’s an Indian dish, but variations of it are enjoyed in other counties like Pakistan, Bangladesh and even in Middle Eastern countries. I grew up in Iraq and we make it minus the chilli, so basically a milder version of it, but equally as delicious! It’s such a comforting meal, especially served with rice in a bowl during the cold winter months! I’m creating a vegan version using California Walnuts by blending the walnuts into a ‘mince’ then soaking it in water to make it lovely and soft to mimic real minced meat. This way it will absorb all the [...]

With it also being Halloween season and pumpkins are everywhere, this vegan pumpkin curry is a great way to make the most of this in season vegetable. It's also a great way to use up the flesh of carved pumpkins [...]

HelloFresh Review – Coconut Dal with Roasted Butternut Squash

HelloFresh Review – Coconut Dal with Roasted Butternut Squash

HelloFresh Review - Coconut Dal with Roasted Butternut Squash *This post is sponsored by HelloFresh* I’m all about quick and easy meals that are made from scratch at home, but I know that on busy days just the idea of having to think of what to make for dinner, grabbing the ingredients from the supermarket and putting a meal together can seem daunting when all you want to do is put your legs up and enjoy some down time. In my case what would usually end up happening after a long day of work, running errands and other chores is I would end up spending ages trying to think of something to whip up, but by the end of it [...]

Easy Coconut Chickpea Curry

Easy Coconut Chickpea Curry

Easy Coconut Chickpea Curry For me, meals like this easy coconut chickpea curry are such a huge time saver on a busy day. Come evening time I don't usually have the energy to cook, especially if I've been recipe creating or filming earlier that day followed by cleaning and tidying. It can really take it out of me. So I always fall back on quick and easy recipes like this one that doesn't require much time to prepare and uses ingredients I always have available in my pantry. Ingredients like canned chickpeas, canned coconut milk, spices and rice. I use light coconut milk to make it slightly healthier and lighter. The great thing about this curry is that you can adapt it to [...]
