Welcome to another part of plantbased food inspiration. It has been a crazy three months already since the latest.
The above dish, with someone swooning over its deliciousness is a pasta with butternut pumpkin cream, spinach and hazelnuts. Pumpkin cream really is THE most amazing thing to have as a pasta sauce.
Falafel-wrap with salad and hummus. Sometimes there's a pre-made falafel-mix etc in the box. I'm not a great fan, I do prefer to make falafel from scratch now, the texture is so much nicer and crisp.
Hummus with fried aubergine and tabbouleh. Apart from the pre-made hummus - my own is so much nicer - ths was a lovely dish. An fresh coriander seeds was great in the tabbouleh.
Not a great fan of bowls, and this was no exception, very average. Quinoa bowl with fried portobello mushroom (too little), corn, avocado almonds.
Onepot pasta caponata, lovely. I love making onepots. You cook the sauce and pasta together, which makes the flavour and textures so much better. And you save water and energy too obviously. This one was with aubergine, capers (which I've only come to appreciate with this food ambassador gig), squash, garlic, onion, parsley, tomato sauce, chili and that all imoortant nutritional yeast that makes vegan dishes cheesy. - Also great for making pesto.
Seitan hotdogs in buns served with red cabbage salad, mushy peas and pickled cucumber. I love the simple hotdog dishes with add-ons that make the dish sing.
Fried tofu with wholegrain noodles and fried vegetables (red onion, garlic, carrot, squash, red cabbage, chili, sesame seeds, lime and tamari sauce). Lovely.
Another dull bowl as far as I'm concerned - rainbow bowl with millet, avocado, tomato, corn and mungbeans.
Pasta with romescosauce and grilled vegetables. Delicious. The sauce is made with garlic, onion, red paprika, tomatoes and roasted almonds which is mixed in a blender after cooking. Aubergine and squash is grilled and added to the sauce together with the pasta.
Close up of one of the most amazing and simple dishes so far - tarte flambeé with onions served with a crispy salad. It's basically a miniature pizza with a delicious spread made of soy cream and nutritional yeast. Perfection. The dough was ready made and I'm not keen on making my own, so if I can find a ready made pizza dough without palmoil I want to try this again asap. The simple spread really melts and tastes like cheese and to only mix red and yellow onions on top was perfection.
Falafel and barley salad with baked vegetables and pumpkin seeds. But for the pre-made falafel mix this was good.
Another one pot pasta with tomatoes, paprika and chili. Good stuff.
Creamy polenta with corn, squash and spinach. Lovely comfort food. This was also my last dish before I broke my arm. For the next weeks I had help with the peeling, chipping, dicing, slicing and eating. Now I'm slowly working my way back to doing all that stuff myself again.
Bimbimbap with tofu, mushroom, carrots, squash and fried garlic. Deliciousness.
Samosas with spicy potatoes, pak choy and peas. The salad is made of potatoes, finey chopped kale and roasted sunflower seeds.
And another (dull) bowl with durra, black beans, tomatoes, green beans, salad and sesame seeds.
Tikka daal with sweetpotato, carrots and green beans. Lovely comfort food again.
As usual the recipes (in Swedish) can be found at Årstiderna website (or in the app). If you're keen on a translation of a specific recipe, or have any questions, please let me know in the comments.

ReplyDeleteAs the Thanksgiving holiday approaches here in the States, sweet potatoes are prominently displayed in every market. To ensure that vegetarian friends have something substantial at my table, I prepare them with sweet carrots, butter and cashews (with a side bowl of honey). Cashews also make an interesting topic for table talk: do you use them in any recipes?
