I love, love, love tofu! It’s so versatile. I use it to make icing on my Chocolate Cake, as a crab substitute in Sebastian’s Salad, as an egg replacement in my Veganised Menorcan Quiche and for added texture and protein in my Sesame Cabbage Stir-Fry. So I guess it was only a matter of time…
Main
Sheepless Pie
A close friend told me she could never go vegan because she’d miss Shepherds Pie too much. I like a challenge so decided to try and make a tasty low-FODMAP vegan version. (Also I was really tempted to master this because I couldn’t resist the name!) This is a strange dish for me, I felt…
Val’s Vegan Cabbage Rolls
Those who are following my blog will already know that my mate (Robin’s) mother (Val) has an allotment where she grows loads of wonderful organic vegetables. As a result Robin often comes round bearing delicious gifts! Last time she gave us some lovely potatoes which I used to make Patatas A Lo Pobre. These vegan…
Squashed Tower
I woke up yesterday with good intentions… I was going to have a coffee, do some pilates and then post all about ‘Squashed Tower’. However my plan was foiled when one by one things started to go wrong. Firstly, while I was having my coffee, I logged onto Amazon to buy a Christmas present for…
Creamy Pumpkin and Thyme Risotto
I know Halloween’s over and the stores have already replaced their Halloween decorations for Christmas ones but I’m not over pumpkins just yet (and I’m not ready for Christmas yet either)! I’m heading out shortly with some old school friends for a colourful, music-filled evening watching fireworks and thought this creamy pumpkin risotto would be…
Spinach, Pumpkin & Lentil Dhal
Continuing on my autumn-pumpkin theme is this delicious spinach, pumpkin and lentil dhal, dahl or dal. Dhal is an Indian term, referring to both the ingredient (dried or split pulses, in our case canned lentils) and the dish made from it. My low-FODMAP dhal is a perfect warming dish to enjoy on a cold autumn…
Pumpkin Ratatouille
The first of my pumpkin recipes, Ratatouille. This is healthy, delicious and super easy. It’s filling and hearty too, making it a great choice for an autumn meal. The secret ingredient, fresh rosemary… I can never get enough of it. I love everything about it: the way it looks, the fact it smells like heaven and tastes delicious….
Paella
The word paella originally refers to the pan – a paellera (from the latin word for pan, patella). It has since been associated with the Spanish rice dish. The traditional Valencian recipe consists of green beans and meat (chicken and rabbit, with optional snails) but there are loads of different types including ‘Paella Verduras’ (veggie paella)…
Patatas a lo Pobre
My friend Robin’s mother has an allotment so we get very lucky with delicious super organic vegetables. I can’t describe what a treat it is! Last time Robin came over his goodie bag included these delicious potatoes. So I decided to make this variant on Patatas Pobre, because I wanted to make a dish where…
Lentil & Walnut Burgers
While I’ve never liked traditional (meat) burgers, I used to make a mean (cruelty-free) beet-burger that even my omnivore brother enjoyed. However, when I started on the low-FODMAP diet it took me a while to discover a delicious, gut-friendly, wholesome replacement. After a few attempts this is what I came up with! I hope you enjoy…
