High time for some more vegan food inspiration, don't you think?
The dish above is a delightful chickpeas in korma curry with tomatoes and almond cream (the cream is more like milk, but it does tastes lovely in the curry instead of coconutmilk). And since I made it on the Swedish national day the other week I also decided to play with our flag's colour. Plus there's always a snoopervisor close at hand lending a helping paw as a finishing touch.
Meze with za'tar spiced hummus, grilled aubergine and squash with a topping of red onion, tomatoes and parsley. Served in pita with fresh cucumber. Delicious!
Vegetable wok with noodles and miso dressing. Nice but basic.
Chili sin carne with borlotti beans and avocado. Nice but basic.
Portobello mushroom burger with fried onion, avocado and relish. Had it not been for the fact that the mushroom turned tiny when fried it would have been great. Plus it lacked potato fries etc to be a filling and satisfying meal.
Vegetable lasagna with sunflower seeds served with a cabbage-spinach salad. Unfortunately this one was really dry since it didn't have the usual generous amount of bechamel sauce. It was a nice touch to make "cheese sauce" with boiled potatoes, carrots and sunflower seeds, but it just wasn't enough moisture.
Pakoras with sweetpotato and squash served with cabbage salad and tomato-chili salsa. Looks rubbish but tasted great. I'm just not a skilled enough pakora maker.
Yoga pot with turmeric, blue peas, broccoli, carrots, tomato and sweetpotato. Enjoyed the flavour but not the hard texture of the blue peas. Would have been much nicer with chickpeas.
Corn pudding with caramelized onion and spinach-tomato topping. Delicious! The recipe said corn bread, but obviously that was not going to happen with these ingredients, the pudding was lovely though and left overs on day two were even better.
Noodle salad with green beans, spring onion, broccoli, sesame seeds and peanut dressing. Lovely! Sesame seeds is such a gorgeous, simple thing that add extra oomph to any dish.
Green pea soup with asparagus and sprouts. Lovely! As the soup is made from scratch and dry green peas it's not sweet and the fresh, grilled asparagus on top is just amazing.
Buckwheat stew with black beans, portobello mushroom and coriander. Not a favourite. I usually love coriander, but here it wasn't nice at all, neither were the tomatoes. That omitted and it would have been nice.
Seitan sausages with potato wedges, pickled cucumber-red onion and marinated red cabbage. Lovely and very satisfying. Simple to cook but with a lot of flavours and textures. And pickled vegetables, what a great thing!
Congee pot with portobello, red onion, celery and peanuts. Much ado about not so much, the portions turned out very small and the tamari sauce made it very salt. The crispy, fried celery was a nice, new experience though.
Quinoa-amarant salad with ovenbaked beetroot, red onion and sunflower seeds. I do love beetroots but this was just too much with both raw beets in the salad and the ovenbaked ones.
Pitabread with spicy cauliflower, caramelized onion, marinated red cabbage topped wih coriander. This, my friends, was amazing. So much flavour and textures, the cauliflower and onion was ovenbaked in a generous amount of rapeseed oil and it was so lovely to soak that up with the bread. Perfect picnic food.
