‘✨LOCKDOWN-READY CHICKPEA SPINACH MASALA RECIPE✨Frozen spinach and tinned chickpeas come to life here in tomato masala, spiked with mango powder. I can’t think about a better recipe to share just after world vegan day and ahead of lockdown 2 than Chana Saag. @cookwitch recently made this with a bag of soon-beyond-its-best bag of watercress and spinach salad, which is a bit of food waste genius I highly commend too!

If you haven’t discovered mango powder yet, it’s at its tangy best sprinkled at the end of salads, sautés and street food. If you don’t have it, a squirt of lemon/lime will suffice.

On a separate note, I am gutted about going into lockdown again but it is what it is and this too shall pass! H

𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐒 𝟐

✨2 tbsp oil
✨1 small onion, chopped
✨2 tsp grated ginger
✨2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
✨Half tsp turmeric
✨1 tsp chilli powder
✨1 tsp ground cumin
✨1 medium tomato, roughly chopped or 2 tbsp tomato purée
✨400g tin of chickpeas
✨250gm fresh spinach/5 cubes of frozen spinach
✨Half tsp garam masala
✨Half tsp mango powder (amchoor)
✨Salt to taste

Peel and finely chop the onion. In a medium sized pot, bring the oil to heat on high and when it’s sizzling hot, toss in the chopped onions. Saute the onions for ten minutes with a pinch of salt.

When the onion starts turning a pale golden, add the ginger and garlic, and saute for another five minutes until the onions turn a darker shade of golden.

Now add the turmeric, chilli and cumin powders and stir for a minute. If the mixture starts getting stuck to the bottom of the pot, add a tablespoon of warm water and scrape it off.

Next, stir in the tomato for a couple of minutes add half a cup of hot water. Lower the heat to medium and let the spices infuse the tomato. Add frozen spinach cubes if using.

In about five minutes, rinse and drain the chickpeas and mix them in. Let the chickpeas cook with the spices for another five minutes.

To finish, add salt to taste, sprinkle garam masala and amchoor powder all over and serve hot.

This is great as a centrepiece or as a side to a carb-free meal.

‘CHICKPEA & PUMPKIN CURRY

This was last nights #meatfreemonday creation, and it did not disappoint 🤤

Who else does Meat Free Monday in their house?

We honestly cook a couple of vegetarian meals a week these days, but it’s become a tradition to cook one every Monday now. It’s been really fun coming up with new vegetarian dishes to make, and I feel like it’s forced us to get a little more creative in the kitchen.

Ingredients:
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 butternut pumpkin
• 2 carrots
• 1 400g can of chickpeas (drained & rinsed well)
• 1 450g jar of tandoori sauce
• 1 400g can of light coconut milk
• Baby spinach

Heat some olive oil in a medium sized saucepan on low-medium heat, add in onion and garlic (finely diced) and sauté for a few minutes until it becomes fragrant and translucent. Add the pumpkin and carrots and cook for 3-5 minutes. Stir through the tandoori sauce and coconut milk, and then add the chickpeas - stirring well. Bring to the boil, reduce heat to low and cover. Let simmer until the veggies and chickpeas soften, and the sauce begins to reduce (stir occasionally). Stir through a few handfuls of baby spinach right at the end.

Serve with some rice or naan bread, or both, because who doesn’t love double carbs!? 🙌🏼🥖🍚’

We 💚 this #MeatFreeMonday Ramen by 🌟 @ellacartefood!

#repost Sliding into the new week with this 100% VEGAN Teriyaki Tofu Ramen 🍜

Quick, easy and delicious - I threw this together for my lunch and it was magic in a bowl. All the veggie goodness to start the week on a healthy high.

Served with Edamame Beans, Crispy Chilli Oil, Spinach and Pak Choi ✨

What you’ll need:
1/3 Block of @tofooco - cubed and marinated in Teriyaki for at least 1 hour
1/2 Shallot
2 tsp Minced Ginger
2 Garlic Cloves
1 Chilli
1 tsp Miso
1/2 @knorruk Kaffir + Lime Stock Pot
1 1/2 Cup Boiling Water
1 Nest Noodles
Handful Spinach
Handful Edamame
3 Pak Choi Leaves

To serve:
1/2 Spring Onion
Sesame Seeds
1 tsp Crispy Chilli Oil
2 tsp Sesame Oil
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Fried Onions

1. Fry off the shallot in a little oil until it softens, followed by the garlic, ginger and chilli.
2. Add the stock pot and miso and mix well, then add your boiling water.
3. Cook the noodles in your broth until they are soft.
4. Meanwhile, place a colander over the broth and steam your edamame, tofu and pak choi (you’ll need a lid for this).
5. Place the spinach in the broth just before serving to wilt.

To serve, pour your broth, noodles and spinach into a bowl, then add the soy sauce and stir. Top with your veggies, tofu and garnishes and dig in! ✨

Let me know if you try it! #ellacartefood 🌻
