Healthy Vegan - September Eat Your Greens Round Up

Welcome to the Round Up for 'Eat Your Greens'.    
This is a monthly vegetarian and vegan cooking challenge for food bloggers to make something with a green vegetable (or fruit) each month.  
I begin with something light, Janet from the Taste Space shared with us Pickle and Green Bean Potato Salad.  Janet says the original recipe called for asparagus but she used green beans and it worked fantastically. This salad would be perfect for a buffet or even a lunch box. 
The lovely Johanna from Green Gourmet Giraffe shares with us Spaghetti with Silverbeet and Cauliflower Grematola, which is packed with loads of Chard.
I couldn't resist her quirky way of presenting her homemade vegan Parmesan, go on over and check it out, as well as the recipe. And she asserts,the vegan Parmesan makes such a difference to this pasta dish.
The Veg Hog shares with us a warm bowl of Pickle and Green Bean Potato Salad.  Janet says the original recipe called for asparagus but she used green beans and it worked fantastically. This salad would be perfect for a buffet or even a lunch box. 
The lovely Johanna from Green Gourmet Giraffe shares with us Pea and Carrot Pilaf.  The Veg Hog has kept it fresh and seasonal and not used frozen peas, but fresh peas garden peas, I wonder if she podded them herself
Next we have Dominic (fondly known to many of us as Dom) from Belleau Kitchen who brings to us Pickle and Green Bean Potato Salad.  Janet says the original recipe called for asparagus but she used green beans and it worked fantastically. This salad would be perfect for a buffet or even a lunch box. 
The lovely Johanna from Green Gourmet Giraffe shares with us Slow Cooked Portobello Mushroom Stew with Herb Dumplings.  If this casserole dish doesn't get you excited for Autumn, then I don't know what will.  Its not obvious at first what the greens there in this Casserole dish, but there are a couple such as leeks and courgettes and lots of herbs in the dumpling. 

Its a short and inviting savoury Round up, but please, Please go by and check each contribution and leave a comment, I know my fellow bloggers would appreciate it.  Also I am welcoming #EatYourGreen recipes for October.  Follow this link on how to participate.  I hope you will also be able to join in the #Vegetable Palette challenge too, the theme is Orange.  Also welcoming #FruitPalette recipes.

Healthy Vegan - Smoky Black Kale, Chickpeas and Mushroom Stew

Image
Its been a busy month for me with work mostly.   I have to admit I haven't had much energy or enthusiasm for cooking when I got home.  In fact, t wice last  week we have had Chilli and Potato Pierogi, not homemade but from a  packet.  I have mad e pierogi in the past and would love to have a go at making them again. Today though, I got home and had a little energy to cook.  I made a relatively quick Smoky Black Kale and Mushroom Stew.  Many of the ingredients in this were left over from the Black Kale and Chickpeas Pot Pie I made over the weekend.  I think this  Smoky Black Kale and Mushroom Stew i s one of those dishes best enjoyed a day or two later, as it was just okay.  Smoky Black Kale and Mushroom Stew Serves 2 - 3 Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil 200grams mushrooms, sliced 2 clove garlic, crushed Sprig of fresh thyme 1/4  teaspoon chipotle flakes 1 x 400grams tinned tomatoes, crushed 100grams black k...

Healthy Vegan - Red Harvest Monday

Image
The weather forecasters got it right this weekend in the UK. Saturday was blazing hot and Sunday was pouring with rain. On Saturday, we took a day trip to Glastonbury and Sunday, was  a wash-out for the garden.  If I still had an allotment plot, I know I would have gone to it and worked there and harvested, but as its in the back of my garden, my attitude is somewhat different that which is a shame really and needs to change going forward.  But I did not waste the day, doing household chores and cooking grub in readiness for the working week which includes our lunch, so I was not totally lazy.   As it was raining yesterday, these photographs are from earlier in the week, but I am still going to share them for Harvest Monday. Gorgeous raspberries are starting to make a welcome appearance. I don't have as many raspberry canes as last year I cleared a section in the back garden for a bench and rhubarb plants, so will try to pick and enjoy those ripening that is...

Healthy Vegan - Whole Fava Beans Stew with Peppers

Image
August has brought us high winds and rain and a wanting for bowl food . Have you ever had whole fava beans?  If whole fava beans had a personality, it would be the fictional character Fonzie from the American sitcom Happy Days biker in a leathery rugged jacket, all tough on the outside - but a sweetheart on the inside.   So h ere is my second recipe with whole fava beans still in their handsome jackets.  The last recipe I made with whole fava beans was  Somalian Fava Beans  and they were utterly delicious.  Anyway, as the fava beans were bubbling away in the pot, it struck me that it was just a bowl of brown beans and not particularly appealing, looking a bit plain.  I decided to throw in a red and yellow pepper just to give it more colour.  It worked visually.  However, taste and flavour wise this Fava Bean Stew was okay, yes just okay.  Although it made for a pleasant change from spicy stews, I still prefer spicy stews or...
