OK, so it’s not the best photo ever but it’s hard to make wrinkled veg look sexy when the only kit available is your phone. One day we will hire Mario Testino (is he still famous?) to take our photos for us. For now, ignore what you see and let your taste buds guide you…
Spicy Thai Bean Burgers
Every now and again you find a stray packet of beans, peas or the like in the cupboard. You don’t remember where you bought them, or when, and more often than not can’t imagine what possessed you to pick them up in the first place. Such was the case with the split peas I chanced…
Cannellini Bean & Roast Carrot Salad with Halloumi
We’ve been thinking about packed lunches this week, what with it being back to school time and all. Not that we’re going back to school – with 12 years at university between us, not including actually working in them, we think we’re done with all that. We do see parents frantically shopping for school uniforms …
Moroccan Chickpea Tagine with Fragrant Brown Rice
This recipe has quickly become one of my favourites to impress friends with something a bit different. The lemon and olives give it a unique punchy flavour and can be made with various different vegetable. I have used courgette, but it would certainly go well with aubergine, green beans, carrots or squash. On this occasion I served…
Slow Roasted Tomatoes with Chilli and Garlic
You wouldn’t know it if you saw the chaos surrounding us sometimes but we Veggie Runners are actually pretty efficient. This is a handy dish to pop in the oven while you’re out for a quick run or catching up on your sleep or maybe your laundry (runners do a lot of laundry…)
Ras el Hanout Tofu Steaks
Ras el Hanout is a North African dry rub, with dried peppers, cardamom, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, fennel, and my favourite of all, rose petals and lavender. I love the idea of eating flowers, so byronesque, beyond romantic. You can get it in North African shops and, increasingly, supermarkets, which where I got mine. Tofu…
Vegan Pesto
This recipe comes from our fabulous Canadian friends, Lehna and Jamie (who are known to their adoring public as burlesque goddess, Champagne Sparkles, and sound artist extraordinaire Jamie Drouin). This is a stunningly straightforward vegan pesto that (sharp intake of breath) gives some of our own recipes a run for their money in the ‘yow, that…
Nasi Goreng
My friend Mollie first introduced me to this Malaysian breakfast dish. I was instantly hooked – it’s convenient if you have leftover rice, uses up the veg in the bottom of the fridge drawer and most importantly is ridiculously tasty . Some people make a little one-or-two egg omelette at first, remove it from…
Mattar Paneer – aka Cheesy Pea Curry
Paneer is an Indian cheese that adds great texture to curries and kebabs. If you’re a bit more committed you can make it yourself by straining curds in muslin, but I just buy it from Indian shops or larger supermarkets. Mum used to make it herself when she was more of a hippie. Maybe you…
Barbequed Halloumi with Chilli Oil
This recipe is beyond ridiculously easy and goes down a treat with meat eaters and veggies alike. The salty, yielding cheese doesn’t melt on the barbeque, it just takes on a completely unique texture that will not only be delicious, but a talking point. It’s much more interesting than yet more burgers!Halloumi with Chilli Oil…
Cook & Run – Sweet Potato and Butterbean Stew
I’m a big believer in listening to your body’s cravings for food. Somewhere in you, you often know the perfect thing for your needs, if you just give yourself the space to listen. I didn’t have to listen hard before I made this supper – my stomach was practically yelling sweet potatoes, SWEET POTATOES all…
Roasted Aubergine & Tomato Sauce
Does that work, ‘pasta-tastic’? Probably not but, ho hum, we’re here now and ready to give ourselves a tasty treat for supper. Please note that this isn’t a recycling of the recipes – it’s a complete repurposing, which we all know is highly desirable in this age of austerity… This is a good recipe for…
