Healthy Vegan - The Great Brick Lego Safari in Cardiff

I've mentioned before that every so often I will go into the city of Cardiff, sometimes for window shopping or sometimes for pleasure, but last month I found myself in The Animal Wall; The Millennium Stadium; People Like Us; and Cardiff Vegetarian Festival - click on the links.

Healthy Vegan - Savoury Turmeric Nasturtium Fluffy Pancakes

Image
I wanted pancakes as a change from our normal weekend Veggie fry up for breakfast, but it was just a thought, nothing concrete.  Then I saw  Johanna who blogs over at Green Gourmet Giraffe had made some sweet Nutella pancakes a couple of weeks back and it was decided.   Pancakes it was, but not sweet -  I ended up making savoury fluffy pancakes enhanced with ground turmeric and lily pad shaped nasturtium leaves.  Whoever said 'Nasturtium flowers have bite', were spot on.   I did not sow any nasturtium , they self seeded from last year.  I don't mind I like them and it brings in the bumbling bees, though I have not seen many of them.   But I don't let them self-seed for altruistic reasons, I actually like growing and eating them, especially the more colourful variety, though I seem to have no fiery red ones this year.  I also like the mustard like peppery tang of the edible flower and often just use the to garnish salads.  For those of ...

Healthy Vegan - Roasted Courgette Layered 'Lasagne'

Image
What is amazing about this recipe is that it uses zero pasta sheets, the courgettes are sliced thinly with a mandolin into thin sheets to replace the traditional pasta sheets. It was really good.  I have never really been a fan of ricotta.  I had a pie once and the ricotta just tasted congealed to me and dry, but this was really nice and quite light to eat, compared to pasta based lasagne's that can sometimes be stodgy, but also a great way to use up those courgettes.  This is one of those recipes you make when you have time on your hands and perhaps over the weekend when its raining and it certainly was. I followed the original recipe which comes from Donna Hay with very few tweaks.  Round courgette for the tradition courgettes, Tuscan Black kale for spinach and kale  and cheddar cheese for the topping in place of mozzarella.  Just make sure you drain excess liquid from the vegetables otherwise it will exude a lot of liquid whilst cooking and you d...

Healthy Vegan - Hasselback Zucchini in Smoky Puy Lentil Stew

Image
I was going to slice my homegrown zucchini in a  fantail effect, then I remembered bookmarking  Hasselback Courgettes  from  Gluten Free SCD and Veggie which was shared with # EatYourGreens last year .   However, I still did not get round to making the recipe, but I was inspired by the Hasselback effect for the courgettes in this Smoky Puy Lentil Stew . The weather here in the UK has been changeable.  One day its really really hot, and then the next day its pouring with rain and the temperature drops a little that you want something a little warming.   It was on one of those muggy wet days last week that this Hasselback Zucchini in Smoky Puy Lentil Stew was made.   I have to admit looking down at the final dish that the hassleback zucchini looked like eels.  Do you want to hear story ?! W hen I was little, I popped my head in the freezer to steal an ice lolly, but was confronted by a long fish with teeth peeking out of a plas...
