Vegan Cashew Herb Sauce

Vegan Cashew Herb Sauce

I made this sauce to go in my wraps and wow it was incredible! No need for a blender, just mix in a bowl. 


(Makes 1 portion)
Ingredients:

2 tsp cashew butter 
1/2 tsp ginger puree or powdered ginger 
1/4 tsp mixed herbs
1/2 tsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp water 

In a bowl add the cashew butter and gradually mix in the water, it should go creamy thick and whiter in colour. Once to a desired consistency add the ginger, herbs, nooch and mix well serve! 

Serve as a dipping sauce, sandwich spread, salad dressing or even a pasta sauce!

Vegan Lunch Box Recipe: Wraps

Vegan Lunch Box Recipe: Wraps

I have been making these for lunch so much recently. Wraps are great as you can fill them with pretty much anything. These ones in particular were great! 


(Serves 1)
Ingredients:

1 seeded wrap (or gf wrap) 
3 large romaine lettuce leaves 
3 mushrooms
4 inches cucumber 
1 orange
1 tsp hummus 

Slice up the mushrooms into thin slices, cucumber into strips and orange into small pieces. Lay out a wrap and spread the hummus down the centre, lay on a lettuce leaf, couple or mushroom slices and a few cucumber strips. Roll up the wrap tightly from right to left and slice in two. Serve! Or make some raw wraps by using a lettuce leave as the wrap! Place in the hummus and a few veggies, snap up the bottom first then roll in the sides. Serve the excess veggies on the side.  Delicious! 


Really simple but oh so yummy! Why not trya out my cashew herb sauce instead of hummus recipe?

Vegan Recipe: Cinnamon Rolls

Vegan Recipe: Cinnamon Rolls

I made these as a treat for my house mates for our weekly Sunday roast. They went down super well so thought I'd write a recipe for them. 


(Makes 12 rolls) 
Ingredients:

300g flour (gf or plain)
1 tsp baking powder
 50g sugar
100ml water 
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar syrup eg golden, maple, agave

In a bowl mix the flour, baking powder and sugar then gradually add the water with a spatula to form a dough. Split the dough in two and roll out each at a time to form a thin large rectangle. To make a thick cinnamon sauce mix in a small bowl the cinammon, syrup, 1/2 tbsp flour and 3 tbsp water. Mix to form a thick sauce and spread all over the dough saving some for later. Roll up the dough from the longest edge to form a long sausage. And place on a lined baking sheet, spread the rest of the sauce over the top and bake for 20-30 minutes 200 degrees Celsius until risen, fluffy and golden. Once cooked allow to cool and slice into inch thick slices. Delicious. 

Hope you enjoy!

Vegan Spicy Bean and Broccoli Fajita

Vegan Spicy Bean and Broccoli Fajita 

Made this tasty spicy open fajita! Just cooked in a pan broccoli, mushrooms, canned tomatoes, fresh chilli, kidney beans, sweetcorn & peas thickened with flour topped with nooch and lettuce 😋 Super incredible and I even made broccoli lettuce wraps! Here's the full recipe: 


(Serves 2-4)
Ingredients:

1/2 head broccoli diced 
5 small mushrooms diced 
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 red fresh chilli
1 tsp mixed herbs
1 can kidney beans
1/2 cup frozen or can sweetcorn 
1/2 cup frozen peas 
1 tbsp flour (gf or plain wheat) 
1-4 seeded fajita wraps (gf or wheat) 
Optional: nutritional yeast, cos lettuce, mixed lettuce 

In a large pan add 200ml water, the tomatoes, diced broccoli, mushrooms, chilli, herbs, beans, sweetcorn, peas and more water if needed. Bring to the boil and simmer. Once the broccoli is soft (about 10 minutes) add a paste of flour and water to the pan to thicken. Place a wrap on a plate and fill with the fajita mix! Optionally top with nutritional yeast and salad. 

If you have leftovers just place in a container and store in the fridge for 3 days or freezer for 3 months. 

Whist you're eating the filling how about wrapping some of the broccoli in cos lettuce wraps! Then once you've got a small amount of filling left fold up the wrap. 

I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Easy Vegan Rice, Broccoli & Gravy

Easy Vegan Rice, Broccoli & Gravy

When you're hungry and just need some tasty nutritious food, this is your go to! I threw this together and was super satisfied. All in one pan and one jug. Gravy and rice is like so yum, you must try it! 



(Serves 1)
Ingredients:

100g rice
1 head broccoli
1/2 fresh chilli (optional)
1 tbsp flour (plain or gf)
1 tsp marmite
1/4 tsp mixed herbs
1/4 tsp chilli powder

In a pan add the rice along with boiling water (about half fill the pan) chop the broccoli and add the stalks, bring to the boil and cook until soft about 12 minutes covered. In a jug add the flour, marmite and spices and mix with cold water to form a runny paste. Boil the kettle again and immediate stir into the jug about 400ml. It should become nice and thick. Once the rice is almost cooked add the broccoli heads and fresh diced chilli and steam until soft and bright green. Then serve and pour over the gravy! Tasty! 

I hope you like this super simple recipe.
