Chocolate, Date & Walnut Energy Balls 🍫⁣ ⁣

Chocolate, Date & Walnut Energy Balls 🍫⁣
⁣
These little balls are goooood, they haven't lasted long! 🤭⁣
⁣
They have a very indulgent texture, kind of truffle like!⁣
⁣
We chose to add chocolate chips to ours, which we'd highly recommend, but they would still be enjoyable without 😋⁣
⁣
Ingredients:⁣
120g walnuts⁣
60g dates soaked in boiled water⁣
½ tsp coffee dissolved in 1 tbsp boiled water⁣
40g cacao powder⁣
2 tsp vanilla essence⁣
⅛ tsp almond essence⁣
1 tbsp maple syrup⁣
40g dark chocolate chips⁣
⁣
Method:⁣
🥄 Add the walnuts to a food processor and blend into tiny pieces.⁣
⁣
🥄 Add the dates, coffee, cacao powder, vanilla essence, almond essence and maple syrup and blend again until the mixture is almost smooth.⁣
⁣
🥄 Add the chocolate chips and pulse 3-4 times to combine them, you don't want to blend them up.⁣
⁣
🥄 Shape the mixture into balls and sprinkle with crushed almonds (optional).

Black Bean Burrito Bowl 🌱⁣ ⁣ We love to eat

Black Bean Burrito Bowl 🌱⁣
⁣
We love to eat meals that are predominantly made up of whole foods, but it can be hard working out how to turn a bowl of chopped up veggies and a tin of beans into a delicious, appetising meal.⁣
⁣
🥣 For this salad bowl, we tried to add flavour by ‘upgrading’ a couple of the ingredients and adding a tahini dressing. You can find the recipes below 👇⁣
⁣
To recreate this salad bowl:⁣
Black beans, spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, red cabbage, carrot, spring onion, lime grilled avocado, buttery corn, tahini dressing and @merchantgourmet glorious grains.⁣
⁣
🌽 Buttery corn⁣
Drain a tin of sweetcorn. Heat 1 tbsp of vegan butter in a frying pan and add the corn. Season with salt and pepper and fry for a few mins until some of the corn begins to brown and crisp.⁣
⁣
🥑 Lime grilled avocado⁣
Cut an avocado in half and remove the stone. Score the avocado with a knife and shake over some lime juice, allowing the juice to run into the score lines. Sprinkle over some salt and place under the grill until the avocado starts to char.⁣
⁣
🥄 Tahini dressing⁣
1 tbsp tahini⁣
1 tbsp nutritional yeast⁣
1 tsp soy⁣
1 tbsp lemon juice⁣
2 tbsp water⁣
1/8 tsp cumin⁣
⁣
Mix the tahini, nutritional yeast, soy sauce and cumin together. Gradually add the lemon juice and water, stirring to combine.

Vegan Quiche 🌱 who wants a slice?⁣
⁣
This one is loaded with vegan ‘bacon’, ‘cheese’ & broccoli and tastes blummin delicious. Even if we do say so ourselves 🤭⁣
⁣
Pastry Crust⁣
220g self raising flour⁣
55g vegetable Trex⁣
55g baking butter (we used Stork block)⁣
⁣
Method⁣
🥄 Grease a loose bottomed quiche tin and preheat the oven to 200c (fan).⁣
🥄 Add the flour, cubed butter and cubed Trex to a large mixing bowl. Gently rub the butter and flour between your fingertips to form a breadcrumb consistency.⁣
🥄 Gradually add water one spoon at a time and use the back of a knife to bring the mixture together and form a dough.⁣
🥄 Roll out the pastry dough and place into a quiche tin. Trim the excess pastry, fork the base of the pastry and add a lining of baking paper.⁣
🥄 Fill with baking beans / dried rice and blind bake for 15 minutes. Remove the beans, rice and baking paper and bake for a further 5 minutes.⁣
⁣
Quiche Filling⁣
290g silken smooth tofu⁣
350g @cauldronfoods tofu (plain block)⁣
4 tbsp hummus⁣
3 tbsp nutritional yeast⁣
1 tsp kala namak⁣
50g @violife_foods epic mature cheese, grated⁣
110g @this.uk bacon pieces, pre fried & chopped⁣
175g broccoli, cut into small florets⁣
2 garlic cloves, chopped⁣
2½ tbsp oil⁣
1 tbsp Henderson's relish⁣
⁣
Method⁣
🥄 Place the broccoli, 1½ tbsp of the oil and garlic in a bowl and stir to combine. Place on a baking tray and roast for 15 mins at 200c.⁣
🥄 Blend both types of tofu, hummus, nutritional yeast and kala namak in a cup style blender or food processor until smooth.⁣
🥄 Pour the tofu mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the broccoli, bacon pieces and most of the cheese, but save a handful to sprinkle on top.⁣
🥄 Pour all of the filling into the pastry crust, sprinkle over the remaining cheese and bake for 30 minutes.⁣
⁣🥄 Mix the oil and Henderson's relish together and lighty brush the top of the quiche with the mixture and bake for 5 more minutes. This makes the quiche golden.

Vegan Thai Green Curry 🌱⁣ ⁣ Firstly, we've

Vegan Thai Green Curry 🌱⁣
⁣
Firstly, we've been loving experimenting with all of the different @maejumsamunprai Thai curry pastes this week. They're so full of flavour 💚⁣
⁣
Secondly, we'd like to take a moment to rave about soya chunks!⁣
⁣
Yes. Those dry rock looking things.⁣
⁣
We picked ours up in @hollandandbarrett for £1.99 and that one bag will make lots of different meals for us!⁣
⁣
Soya chunks have such a great texture once they're rehydrated. They soak up flavour like a delicious little sponge and they're so versatile!⁣
⁣
We use them mainly in curries and stir fries 😋⁣
⁣
Serves 4⁣
Ingredients⁣
100g dried soya chunks⁣
100g broccoli florets (small to cook quickly)⁣
80g carrots, sliced⁣
100g courgette, sliced⁣

100g red pepper, sliced⁣
120g chestnut mushrooms, quartered⁣
1 tbsp oil⁣
600ml coconut milk⁣
½ tbsp brown sugar⁣
1½ tbsp soy sauce or tamari⁣
35g Mae Jum Thai green curry paste⁣
⁣
Method⁣
Place the soya chunks in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 10 minutes to rehydrate. Drain.⁣
⁣
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a wok, add the soya chunks and cook on a med-high heat for 2 mins stirring frequently.⁣
⁣
Add 1 tbsp of the soy sauce and fry for a further minute.⁣
⁣
Add the chopped vegetables and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring frequently.⁣
⁣
Add the coconut milk, curry paste, remaining ½ tbsp soy sauce and the brown sugar. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes.⁣

Sweet Potato, Red Pepper & Red Lentil Soup 🌱

⁣
Add the red pepper and tomatoes and fry on a medium heat until softened, around 5 mins, stirring frequently.⁣
⁣
Add the basil, oregano and cayenne and cook for 1 minute.⁣
⁣
Add sweet potato, red lentils and 1.5 litres of vegetable stock. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes.⁣
