It's quinoa cooked in stock with veg, then you add black beans and basil. I just use whatever veg I have to hand, think this time I used courgette and fennel and a pepper.

To be honest I'd forgotten all about my wee blog. Silly me! <br>
So to get started, I made the chickpea and rice soup from Isa Does It. Would highly recommend the book it is a work of art! This soup is so easy and is great for clearing out the fridge or raiding the end-of-day section at the supermarket to make a really quick and filling meal.<br>
Basically it's chickpeas and rice with cabbage and carrots and dill. I also added chilli flakes and parsley. It made loads too!</p>

I cooked 160g red lentils in stock w turmeric and added a large diced parsnip about half way through cooking. I also fried an onion, a pepper and some diced fresh tomatoes with a tbsp of panch phoran and some chilli flakes. Then I just mixed the lot together. As with such things it was scrummy for breakfast the next day too!</p>

We had bread, baba ganoush, patatas bravas, aubergines w chilli, courgettes w raisins and pinenuts, artichoke hearts and asparagus w ginger and cashews. Excellent service and Masterchef's Nadia Sawalha was there too!</p>

This is adapted from the gorgeous book <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wild-About-Greens-Nava-Atlas/dp/1402785887/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362590584&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Wild About Greens</a> by Nava Atlas, with a few pictures by Susan Voisin. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
I don't like radishes so substituted courgettes but you could use them if you prefer. I made a smaller amount to serve two. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Cook 80g quinoa in 5-600ml stock with a pinch of chilli flakes if liked. When nearly cooked add a diced courgette and 5-6 sliced scallions. When cooked, wilt in loads of greens. I've made this with all different kinds, totalling around two salad bags from the supermarket. Spinach, watercress, rocket and mizuna are all good! Then squeeze in the juice of a lemon and serve.</div>

Very tasty and even better the next day!</div>

So tasty. Not enough to serve four though - it did two hungry walkers just nicely. If I make it again I think a final drizzle of truffle oil would really set it off!<br>
Looking forward to cooking more from this lovely book. </p>

Mine is to fry it up with nutritional yeast, turmeric, spinach and hot sauce. Yummy! Here it is served with some baked sweet potato and tenderstem broccoli. A really tasty dinner!</p>

Pick a good vegan pesto of your choice. If it has chilli in, you can reduce or omit the chilli flakes.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Cook 100g of basmati rice, a diced onion, a diced red pepper and a pinch of chilli flakes in a litre of stock. When the rice is nearly cooked, stir in three chopped fresh tomatoes, a squeeze of tomato puree and a tbsp of red pesto. Stir and finish cooking the rice. You could probably use a small tin of chopped tomatoes if you don't have fresh ones to hand.</p>

This was originally based on a Gillian McKeith recipe, scary I know, but I made it super tasty. Simply dice three leeks and a medium turnip and cook in about a litre of stock. Add herbs of your choice, blend and season with loads of black pepper. Serve with a dollop of brown sauce stirred in! Yes, really!!</p>

Seasoned it with some tomato puree and sweet fennel. Once the veg were cooked I wilted in some kale. Meanwhile I sliced and roasted a Crown Prince Squash which I seasoned with some medium smoked paprika. Very tasty stuff!</p>

My mum just made this for me and it was delish. My only tip is to cut the aubergine quite small, or else maybe precook it as some of the chunks were a little undercooked. Otherwise very yummy and filling too- you only need a salad or green veg with it!</p>

But you can imagine in your own head what it would look like :-)<br />
<br />
Chop the following veg - 1 onion, couple of big garlic cloves, a red pepper, a carrot, a small sweet potato, a chilli, a small bunch of kale or cavolo nero.<br />
<br />
Cook in 750ml of stock with a tbsp of tomato puree and 80g of Pedon 10 minute minestrone mix (available in Sainsbury's and Tesco.<br />
<br />
Add some oregano or dried fennel and serve - makes two large portions.

<p>So you roast about a dozen big cherry tomatoes, halved and sprayed with oil, for about twenty minutes. Meanwhile fry off some chopped onion, garlic and chilli flakes then add 60g barley and about 500ml of stock and cook until the barley is done, about half an hour. Stir in the tomatoes, smushing them up, a tbsp of tomato puree, lots of chopped basil and black pepper. </p>
<p>It was meant to serve two but I ate it all!!</p>

Picked up some fresh borlotti beans on holiday and got cooking some of them today. They take about 35mins to cook in water - don't add any salt - then simply add to this recipe. I usually can't get fresh so just use canned - about half a can - of any beans you choose.<br />
<br />
1 leek, chopped<br />
1 courgette, diced<br />
100g cooked borlotti beans<br />
juice of half a lemon<br />
pinch of chilli flakes <br />
500ml veg stock<br />
1/2 bag of spinach<br />
<br />
Cook the veg in stock with lemon juice and chilli flakes - add the beans when it comes to the boil and cook for about 10 mins until the leeks are done. Add spinach, stir to wilt and serve. Did I mention this is SOOOO good??!!Zoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001576555602755072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595330440015403454.post-9689747597649088562012-09-19T20:20:00.001+01:002012-09-19T20:21:47.145+01:00What to do with a large courgette<div><p>Thanks to a lovely colleague, I found myself with a very large courgette. It wasn't quite big enough to stuff in rings so I cut it into rounds and roasted it for about twenty minutes. Meanwhile I cooked 60g of basmati rice then stirred in a chopped chilli and a tbsp of spicy mango chutney.<br>
I arranged the roast courgettes into what can only be described as a henge and filled the middle with the rice. Sprinkled over some Jamie Olive hot Indian salt. Very easy and yummy!</p>
